(Solved): Of Plymouth Plantation: Puritan Literature

Read the passage and answer the question. [1620] Being thus passed the vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before in their preparation (as may be remembered, by that which went before), they had now no friends to welcome them, nor inns to entertain or refresh their weather-beaten bodies, no houses or much less towns to repair to, to seek for succor. It is recorded in Scripture as a mercy to the apostle and his shipwrecked company, that the barbarians showed them no small kindness in refreshing them, but these savage barbarians, when they met with them (as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows then otherwise. And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of that country know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to cruel and fierce storms, dangerous to travel to known places, much more to search an unknown coast. Besides, what could they see but hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men? And what multitudes there might be of them they know not. How does Bradford describe the natives in the above passage? How does this compare to his later description of Squanto and Massasoit? Your answer should be approximately 150 words.
