Question

july 1622
in the end june or beginning of july, came into our harbour two ships of master weston’s aforesaid; the one called the charity, the other the swan; having in them some fifty or sixty men, sent over at his own charge to plant for him. these we received into our town, affording them whatsoever courtesy our mean condition could afford. there the charity, being the bigger ship, left them, having many passengers which she was to land in virginia. in the mean time the body of them refreshed themselves at plymouth, whilst some most fit sought out a place for them. that little store of corn we had was exceedingly wasted by the unjust and dishonest walking of these strangers; who, though they would sometimes seem to help us in our labor about our corn, yet spared not day and night to steal the same, it being then eatable and pleasant to taste, though green and unprofitable; and though they received much kindness, set light both by it and us, not sparing to requite the love we showed them, with secret backbitings, revilings, &c., the chief of them being forestalled and made against us before then came, as after appeared. nevertheless, for their master’s sake, who formerly had deserved well from us, we continued to do them whatsoever good or furtherance we could, attributing these things to the want of conscience and discretion, expecting each day when god in his providence would disburden us of them, sorrowing that their overseers were not of more ability and fitness for their places, and much fearing what would be the issue of such raw and unconscionable beginnings.

Explanation:

Winslow depicts the newcomers as "raw and unconscionable" (inexperienced) and notes they stole corn, wasted resources, and showed ingratitude (selfish). "Seem to help" is insincere; no mention of resourcefulness, anger, or genuine helpfulness.

Answer:

Inexperienced, Selfish
