their peril be it. This court shall not fail to call the said persons to strict account and proceed against them as disloyal to his majesty and disturbers of the peace of this colony, according to law.
" This declaration being grounded in general upon his majesty's command, ex- pressed in these letters, and in special in order to the prevention of his majesty's colonies, the letter of our governor requiring strict observance of the same under penalty of displeasure, of one thousand pounds fine, and therefore in case any dif- ference should arise to his majesty on these accounts we must be enforced to lay the cause of it at your door, because when it was sent to the several towns of that colony and set up in public places to be seen and read of all that all might obey it, it was at Stamford violently plucked down by Brown, your constable, and with reproachful speeches rejected, though sent in his majesty's name and authority of our court of magistrates ; and after it was published at Guilford, Bray Rossiter and his son hastened to Connecticut to require your aid against this government, which accordingly you too hastily granted, for on the 30th day of December 1663, two of your magistrates with sundry young men and your marshal came speedily to Guilford accompanied with Rossiter and his son, and countenancing them and their party against the authority of this General Court, that you knew to be obnoxious they were formerly to this jurisdiction for contempt of authority and seditious practices, and that they have been the ring-leaders of this rent, and that Bray Rossiter, the father, hath been long and still is a man of turbulent, rest- less, factious spirit, and whose design you have cause to suspect to be to cause a war between these two colonies or to ruin New Haven colony, without sending a writing before to our governor to be informed concerning the truth in this matter. Sundry horse, we are informed, accompanied them to Guilford, whither they came at an unseasonable time, about 10 o'clock in the night, those short days when you might rationally think that all people were gone to bed, and by shooting sundry guns, some of yours of their party in Guilford alarmed the town, which, when the governor took notice of, and of the unsatisfying answers given to such as inquired the reason of that disturbance, he suspected that, not without cause, hostile attempts were intended by their company ; whereupon he sent a letter to New Haven to inform the magistrates there concerning matters at Guilford, that many were affrighted ; and he desired that the magistrates at New Haven would presently come to their succor, and as many of the troopers as could be got, alleging for a reason his apprehensions of their desperate resolutions. The governor's messen- gers all excited to haste as apprehending danger, and reporting to them at Bran- ford, they went up in arms, hastening to their relief at Guilford which the governor required with speed. Hereupon New Haven was also alarmed that night by beat- ing the drum, &c. to warn the town militia to be ready. This fear was not cause- less, for what else could be gathered from the preparations of pistols, bullets, swords, &c. which they brought with them, and by the threatening speeches given out by some of them, as is attested by the depositions of some, subscriptions of others, which we have by us to show when need require; and your two magis- trates themselves, who ought to have the king's peace among their own party in their own speeches, threatened our governor that if any thing was done against these men, viz., Rossiter and his party, Connecticut would take it as done against

themselves, for they were bound to protect them ; and they rose high in threaten- ings. Yet they joined therewith their design of another conference with New Haven, pretending their purpose of granting to us what we should desire, so far as they could, if we would unite with them ; but they held our members from us and upheld them in their animosities against us. Is this the way to union ? And what can you grant us which we have not in our own right within ourselves, with- out you? Yea, it is the birthright of our posterity which we may not barter away from them by treaties with you. It is our purchased inheritance, which no wise man would part with upon a treaty to receive in lieu thereof a lease of the same upon your terms who have right thereunto. And why is our union with you by coming under your patent urged now as necessary for peace, seeing we have enjoyed peace mutually while we have been distinct colonies for about twenty years past ? And why do you separate the things which God hath joined together in righteousness and peace-seeing you persist in your unrighteous dealing and persuade us to peace ? It is true we all came to New England for the same ends, and that we all agree in some main things, but it doth not follow from thence we ought therefore to unite with you in the same jurisdiction, for the same may be said of all the united colonies which nevertheless are distinct colonies.
" 20. That upon a more diligent search of your patent we find that New Haven colony is not included within the line of your patent, for we suppose that your bounds according to the expression of your patent may be, in a just grammatical construction, so cleared that this colony and every part of it, may be mathemati- cally demonstrated to be exempted from it.
"21. That the premises being thoroughly weighed, it will be your wisdom and way to desist wholly from endeavoring to draw us into a union under your patent by any treaty for the future, and apply yourselves to your duty towards God, the king, and us. Ist. Towards God, that you fear him and therefore repent of your unrighteous dealings towards us and repair what you have done amiss by restoring our numbers without delay unto us again, that you may escape the wrath of God which is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness and against all that despise his holy name, especially among the heathen, which you have done thereby. 2d. Towards the king, that you may honor him by looking at us as a distinct colony within ourselves as you see by the premises his majesty doth, and by restoring to us our former entire state and our numbers in obedience to his majesty, who hath commanded us a distinct colony to serve him in weighty affairs, and wherein if you hinder us, (as you will if you still withhold our mem- bers from us as much as in you lieth,) you will incur his majesty's just and high displeasure, who hath not given you in your patent the least appearance of just grounds for your laying claim to us. 3d. To us, your neighbors, your brethren, your confederates by virtue whereof it is your duty to preserve unto us our colony, state power, and privileges against all other that would oppose us, therein or would impose upon us. Is Rossiter and his party of such value with you, that what this jurisdiction doth against them your colony will take it as done to them- selves ? But if it be done as one of your committee is reported to have expressed it, that you must perform your promise to them as Joshua and the elders of Israel did to the Gibeonites, do you not see the sundry disparities between that vow and
494
APPENDIX.
yours ? or do you indeed make confidence of your vow to Gibeonites if you term them so ; and without regard to your conscience break your promise and most solemn confederation to Israelites. , Doubtless it will be safe for this colony to join in one government with persons of such principles and practices, and treaty will be able to bring us to it.
We believe that our righteous God to whom we have solemnly commended and committed our righteous cause, will protect us against all that shall do any wrong or oppress us, neither will he at all doubt the justice of his majesty our king as well as yours, and of his most honorable council, but that upon leaving the business open before them they will effectually relieve against your unjust encroachments as the matter shall require.
" We desire peace and love between us and that we may for the future live in love and peace together as distinct neighbor colonies, as we did about twenty years before you received and misunderstood and so abused your patent that your un- comfortable and afflictive exercises would issue herein. We have so long suffered for peace sake, now it is high time to bring that unbrotherly contest wherewith you have troubled us, to a peaceable issue. In order thereunto we do offer you this choice, either to return our members unto us voluntarily, which will be your honor and a confirmation of your mutual love, or to remove them to some other plantation within your own bounds and free us wholly from you for we may not bear it that such seditious, disorderly persons shall continue within the towns of this colony to disturb our peace, disperse our government and disquiet our mem- bers, and disable us to obey the king's command. But if they stay where they now are, we shall take our time to proceed according to justice, especially with Brown for his contempt of the declaration and [his disregard] of the king's com- mands and authority in this jurisdiction, and with Bray Rossiter and his son for all their seditious practices. Lastly, for preventing any misapprehension, we como here to explain our meaning in any passages in this writing which may seem to reflect censure of unrighteous dealing with us upon your act in General Assembly, that we may mean only such as have been active against us therein.
"For the commonwealth, by order of the General Court of New Haven Colony.
" JAMES BISHOP, Secretary. "NEW HAVEN, March 9, 1663-4."
