Quotation from Good Newes from New England by Edward Winslow

“he therefore raised this false alarm; hoping, whilst things were hot in the heat of blood, to provoke us to march into his country against him”

Edward Winslow (spoken by Edward Winslow, on Tisquantum)

Good Newes from New England, The false alarm concerning Massassowat (Young 1841 / Gutenberg 66332)

Winslow judges that Tisquantum raised a false alarm because of the continued peace with Massassowat, hoping to kindle a war. This is Winslow’s account, and it should be read as such.
