"Brother: One of our People lately in a vision was told by the Great Spirit above, that when HE first made the World, He have this large island to the Indians for their Use; at the same time He gave other Parts of the World beyond the great Waters to the rest of his creating, and gave them different languages; That He now saw the white People squabbling, and fighting for these Lands which HE gave the Indians; and that in every Assembly, and Company of Governors, and Great Men, He heard nothing scarce spoke, or talk'd of, but claiming, and wanting, large Possessions in our Country. This He said was so contrary to his Intention, and what He expected would be the Consequences at the time when the white People first came, like Children among Us, that He was quite displeas'd and would, altho their Numbers were ever so great, punish them if They did not desist."
