got up and in a speech said: that the time had now come when every man must take his part in this war, and that they had been running away & leaving , & that the last man had now left the that should be allowed to do so.— A formal vote, by way of resolution or covenant was put that if any man attempted to leave the , any one of the company then present was to kill him, and say nothing about it, and throw him into the brush. when this was put to vote, I heard no one vote against it. then called for the negative note, and said he wanted to see if any one dared to vote against it. there was no negative vote. There were other questions put & voted on, but I sat at the back part of the house, and did not distinctly hear what they were. I heard say, that “yesterday a man man had sliped his wind and was thrown in the brush.” “and said he, The man that lisps it shall die”— Several companies were called for & made up at this meeting— a spy, provision, & wood company &c And further this deponent saith not.
