Dated the 3th of the 9mº, 1643.1
Of these prisoners, Francis Weston was confined in Dor- chester, Samuel Gorton to Charlestown and Randall Holden at Salem. The constables of the several towns where the prisoners were confined were ordered to provide for each of them a house and necessary things for their lodging and support and provide work for them.2
Richard Waterman was dismissed until the sitting of the court the twenty-ninth of the next May, when, "being found erronious hereticall, & obstinate, it was agreed, that he should be detained prisoner till the Quarter Co't in the 7th mº, unlesse five of the ma do find cause to send him away; weh if they do, it is . ordered, that he shall not return wthin this iurisdiction, upon paine of death."
Nothing is known of Stukely Westcott's punishment. The record of the session of the court at which his companions were sentenced reads as follows: "If the souldiers did kill Stewkley Wasket a lamb, the Treasurer is to alow for it."
Many of the cattle of these prisoners were seized to pay for the capture, trial and support of the accused.
The order of the court was unsatisfactory, as it caused a burden upon the public, not only in the support of the prisoners, but in their influence upon their associates, for they were appar- ently free to talk with the people, except of their heretical ideas. It was finally concluded that their presence did harm in the several towns where they were confined, and especially by this dispersion, and the authorities did not know what to do with them.2

HISTORY OF SALEM
After four months of confinement, March 7, 1643-4, the general court reconsidered the case of the prisoners and set them at liberty, banishing them from all places within the jurisdiction of Massachusetts. Before leaving they recited their wrongs in the streets of Boston and elsewhere to crowds of willing listeners.
Gorton settled in Portsmouth, R. I., where he was well re- ceived, becoming one of the most prominent and influential citizens and one of the first judges in that colony. No man was more influential in establishing liberty of conscience, mind and body in Rhode Island than Samuel Gorton. Rites and ceremonies he deemed non-essentials, and held a belief in a sort of transcenden- talism, with Christian leanings. His religion was his own and not another's.
The published writings of Mr. Williams were as follows :--
A Key into the Language of America, or a Help to the Language of the Natives, in that part of America called New England, etc .; Lon- don, 1643.
The Bloody Tenet of Persecution, for Cause of Conscience, etc., 1634
The Bloody Tenet yet more Bloody, by Mr. Cotton's Endeavor to wash it in the Blood of the Lamb, etc., London, 1652.
The Hireling Ministry none of Christ's, or a Discourse touching the Propagating the Gospel of Christ Jesus, etc., London, 1652.
George Fox digged out of his Burrowes, or an Offer of Disputation on fourteen Proposals, etc., Boston, 1676.
Mr. Williams had so far succeeded at Salem that many, especially women, embraced his opinions and separated from the churches, because some of the church members, going into Eng- land, attended the services of the Church of England, and upon their return the churches here held communion with them.1 In fact, most of the members of the Salem church held it unlawful to hear in the ordinary assemblies in England, because their foundation was supposed to be anti-christian, and hearing with them was communion with them. Some went so far that they were ready to separate from the church for that reason. Where- upon the church at Salem sent two of the brethren with a letter to the elders of the other churches, for their advice in three points : I. Whether (for satisfying the weak) they might promise not to hear in England any false church. This was thought not to be safe, because then they would draw them to the like towards the other churches here, who were of the opinion that it was lawful, and that hearing was not communion. 2. If it were not better to grant them dismission to be a church by themselves. This was

also opposed on the ground that it was not a remedy of divine ordering ; neither would the magistrates allow them to be a church, being but three men and eight women; and besides that it was dangerous to raise churches upon such grounds. 3. Whether they ought then to excommunicate them, if they did withdraw. This was granted, yet, withal, that if they did not withdraw or run into contempt, they ought, in these matters of differences of opinion in things not fundamental nor scandalous, to bear each with the other.1
This action on the part of the Salem church indicates the breadth of the thought and charity of the people there, and clearly shows that the members sought to learn their duty in these matters that they might do it. Charitable tolerance was manifest here in a degree unexcelled by the other Puritan congregations, in either England or America.
The distractions in and about the church of Salem partly occasioned the general fast suggested, Feb. 25, 1635-6, by the elders of the churches, and assented to by the ministers, as the: session of the general court was at hand.
