An Address to the People of New-England / Representing the very great importance of attaching the Indians to their interest, not only by treating them justly and kindly, but by using proper endeavours to settle Christianity among them

The author urges New Englanders to treat the region's Native inhabitants justly and kindly and to bind them to British interests, arguing that their trade and especially their role in frontier war and peace make them strategically vital. He warns that French influence will exploit neglect, describes frontier vulnerabilities and an example of friendly Native settlements protecting nearby towns, and recommends practical measures—fair treatment, settlement along the borders, generous favors, and the propagation of Christianity—as the most likely means to secure alliance, prosperity, and safety.
