| "It would be a very strange Thing, if six Nations of ignorant Savages [the Iroquois] should be capable of forming a
Scheme for such an Union, and be able to execute it in such a Manner, as that it has subsisted Ages, and appears indissoluble; and yet that a like Union should be impracticable for ten or a Dozen _English_ Colonies, to whom it is more necessary, and must be more advantageous; and who cannot be supposed
to want an equal Understanding of their Interests."
