"Sept. 16, 1696.

qwblockquotewq"The Indians making an Assault upon Deerfield, in this Present War, they struck a Hatchet some Inches into the Skull of a Boy there, even so deep that the Boy felt the force of a Wrench used by 'em to get it out. There he lay a long while Weltering in his Blood; they found him, they Dress'd him; considerable Quantities of his Brain came out from time to time when they opened the Wound; yet the lad recovered, and is now a Living Monument of the Power and Goodness of God."qw/blockquotewq.¹
