For it is a custome heere, that whoesoever drawes a weapon in anger, allthough hee doe noe harme therewith, hee is presentlie cutt in peeces. And doinge but smale hurte, not onelie them selves are soe executed, but theire whole generation, and if it be thus with the naturalls them selves, strangers were best to beware howe theye presume vppon anie priviledge or hope of favour.” (pp. 158- 159)
