Letter of George Shove "to the Right Worshipfull Gov- ernor and Deputy Governor with the Worshipfull As- sistants, assembled at Plimouth, June 1, 1680."
RIGHT HONOURABLE AND WORSHIPFULL : - It were great in- gratitude to God who continueth our peace, and maketh us so happy in our Rulers in this wilderness, unnecessarilye to aug- ment their burden and trouble. This consideration with manye more upon the heart of your petitioner, hath made him slowe to complaine, as willing rather to suffer than contend for his Right, being assured that God knows how to requite Good for the wrong so suffered from men. But now, (at least to his own apprehension) he has concluded under a necessitie to make your authoritic his refuge. Be pleased therefore to take cognisance of his grievance, presented to your view as followeth. t *
In this your petitioner brieflie (yet he trusts you will finde faithfully) has represented his case before you, to whose sen- tence and judgment he freely subjects it, requesting your favor- able construction of this his address, who most unwillinglie and of constraint, occasions you such trouble, is bound incessantlie to pray for you, and subscribeth himself, worthie patriots, your servant in every thing in the Lord,

* The Ms. is very difficult to decipher. But with all its illegibility, none the less welcome as disproving what was supposed to be true, in preparing the notice in the preceding volume, (pp. 171-176,) that " not the smallest fragment of a Ms. remained."
t The "grievance " complained of, was the omission of his name in the Title given to the " North Purchase." It would seem that this omis- sion was the result of some misunderstanding in the matter of payment. Most of the proprietors were in favor of entering the name, but a few objected. By referring to vol. 1, page 38, it will be found his name was entered, according to this petition, in 1682.

RIGHT WORSHIPFULL SIR :- It hath been my ambition now for a great while to wait upon you at Barnstable; but Provi- denee hitherto hath given check thereto, and I am not able to say when I shall be favoured with an opportunitie to perform my respects to your worship in such a way. These are there- fore to present my service to you and Mrs. Hinckley, and testi- fy my deep sense of obligation, and to bespeak yr favourable construction, that tidings of yr sickness (that I say not death) have not commanded from me a visit. You are very much up- no my heart, especially considering the times we are brought unto, and the almost insuperable difficulties, that appear every day (at least in my apprehension) in your way to accomplishing of any thing considerable for the interest of religion, which I believe is upon your heart above any other concern in ye world. And I doubt not you have the prayers of all our Churches

(such as they are) that ye Lord will be with you, and I hope some are not wanting to offer to your pious consideration, what may be necessarie to be done for the honor of God and further- ance of Reformation, who are much better able to deal thorowly therein than myself. Yet one thing I cannot but suggest, which sometimes formerly I have mentioned, as of great concernment, and that is, that some effectuall provision (if it be possible) may be made against the open prophanation of the Lord's Day. I must confesse, it is very hard to suppresse that sin in some parts of our Collony, and I fear every day will render this more difficult. Had Pocasset Lands been in the hands of men that had syncere regard to religion, there were much more hopes of effecting something to the purpose. The Lord of His mercy doc away the guilt of so improvident (that I say not irreligious) disposall of those lands. The sad consequence whereof will soon appear.
If, in this soe desperate a case, your Honor can finde out any sure expedient that the prophaning of the Lord's Day may be prevented, it will much conduce to the growing of Religion, and the turning away of God's wrath from us, which also will un- doubtedly kindle a fire upon us, not to be quenched. At the next Court, it is my purpose to wait upon you at Plimouth, if the Lord will. I was at Boston the beginning of this month, but brother Walley being at Barnstable at that time, I doubt not he gave your Honour a more full account of the state of England, &c., than opportunity will give me leave now to doe by letter. Committing therefore yourself and all the great con- cerns under your hands to Him that can doe above all we can ask or think, I subscribe your Honour's much

No. 14. (Hinckley Papers, Vol. 1, No. 45.) Letter of George Shove to Governor Hinckley.
THIS letter is dated " Taunton, July 3, (16)83." It relates principally to the Indians, and the Quakers, who were on trial at Plymouth, the former for murder, the latter for riot and blas- phemy. The letter is very obscure, but it is to be gathered from it, that the minister of Taunton would have his Honour not fear to discharge his whole duty, and in case of guilt, be- come a "terror to evil doers."

I beg your Prayers for myselfe, utterly unfit for such great service in the Church of God, but by an unwonted concurrence of Providences thrust forth into service by no little violence. Christ was led into a wilderness to be tempted ; and the Duties of a Rurall life are not without temptations. But the Grace of Christ is sufficient for such to whom He gives the hand of faith to receive it.

Taunton, April 7th, 1690.
To ye Honor'ble Mr. Thomas Hinckley, Governor of their Maj- estie's Colony of New-Plimouth :
HON. SIR :- It is our great joy that God has continued you among us hitherto to be the stay and staff of Church and State. We bless God that has restored our Judges as at ye first, and our Councellors as at ye beginning-our Rulers from among ourselves who have a paternal affection to us, and wish our welfare, and to whome we may freely speake our thoughts with- out such danger as heretofore we stood in: yet desire not to abuse such freedom to Impudence, as some do in uncivill and corrupt disrespect of authority. We are sensible that your Honour lies under a great burden, on whome is ye care of all tho Towns and Churches among us, The Lord be your great

reward, and the renewer of your strength, yt you may be ena- beled to grapple with and overcome this difference, which ye present tottering condition of our State does produce. Our de- sign is not (we hope) to increase your burden of care, but rath- er to lighten it, if we could. The Lord humble us for our present differences, and show us ye cause of them, and give us wisdom to behave ourselves aright before Him. Our differences are most unseasonable and unreasonable, but in time we trust ye dust will be allayed.
The petitioners here proceed to speak of certain differences which had arisen in a militia company in that town with refer- ence to a choice of officers- Capt. Leonard had been elected* to the disaffection of a few. The petitioners, who had voted for Capt Leonard that they might not " lose their scope," " di- gested " as they say, their "thoughts with a few parts," i. e. They state the matter under eight heads-and in conclusion say :
We are far too bold and troublesome to your Honour, and crave your pardon-shall finish all in a word or two. We humbly propose that your Honour would take the pains to visit our Town on some time appointed, when our Major Walley may

Thomas Leonard was chosen Captain, receiving 88 votes- George Macey had 3 votes. James Leonard, Jun., was chosen Lieutenant, receiving 68 votes - Henry Hodges had 3 votes, John Hull, Sen., had 4 votes, and George Macey I vote. Henry Hodges was chosen "Insigne," receiving 70 votes -John Hall, Sen., had 1 vote, James Leonard, Jr., I vote. The pro- ceedings are pronounced " orderly and leagal."

THE LITHOGRAPHS AND AUTOGRAPHS IN THIS WORK.
THE Lithographs were executed by B. W. Thayer and Co. of Boston, at the expense, for the most part of the relatives of the individuals represented. Of these there are nine, and they occur in the following order.
1. Francis Baylies. - This Portrait was furnished by Na- thaniel Morton, Esq., son-in-law of Mr. Baylies, from an excel- lent painting by Harding, executed several years since, when Mr. B. was a Member of Congress. It is inserted at the be- ginning of the 1st Volume, as properly introducing a work for which but shortly before his death, he prepared the " Introduc- tory Notice."
2. David Cobb .- John Black, Esq., of Ellsworth, Me., and Judge Wilde, of Boston, sons-in-law of Gen. Cobb, have furnished the likeness of their relative from an admirable paint- ing by Stuart. It is to be found at page 236 of the 1st Volume.
3. Marcus Morton. - This likeness was obtained from a Daguerreotype impression by Mr. H. B. King of Taunton, and has been furnished by the sons of Governor Morton. It is to be found in connection with a notice of the family, at page 251 of the 1st Volume.
4. Samuel Crocker. - This lithograph was also obtained from a Daguerrear picture by King, and has been furnished by Samuel B. King, Esq., son-in-law of Mr. Crocker. It is in- serted at page 340 of the 1st Volume.
5. Caleb Barnum. - This lithograph was obtained from a profile and miniature likeness of Mr. Barnum in possession of

the only surviving child of the minister, Widow Child of Taune ton. The grand-children, George Child and Charles R. Vick- ery, both of Taunton, have furnished it for this work. It is inserted at the commencement of the 2d Volume.
6. Ephraim Judson. - This lithograph is a faithful copy of a portrait found in Windsor, Conn. It was shown to a lady, who heard Mr. Judson preach fifty years ago, and she at once recognized it, exclaiming, "That's Mr. Judson." It was fur- Dished for insertion in this work by Rev. Alvah Cobb and others. Vide page 35, 2d Volume.
7. Pitt Clarke. - This likeness was furnished by the sons of Mr. Clarke, and is inserted at page 161 of the 2d Volume.
8. Peres Fobes. - Mr. William R. Deane and others havo furnished this likeness, which is pronounced true to the origi- nal, by those who remember the man. Vide page 218, 2d Volume.
9. Robert Treat Paine. - This portrait was obtained from a painting by Stuart, presented the City of Boston by a grandson of the Judge, and suspended in Faneuil Hall. It was furnish- ed for this work by another grandson of Judge Paine, Charles C. Paine, Esq., of Boston, and his brother-in-law, George B. Cary, Esq., also of Boston. It is inserted at page 309 of tho 2d Volume.
It is not known that there are any other portraits of the ear- lier ministers and prominent persons treated of in these volumes, in existence, with the exception of one of Roland Green of Mansfield, and a second of Nicholas Tillinghast of Taunton, both which we have failed of securing. It was hoped that Judge Williams, and Judge Wilde might be added to the list, but circumstances beyond our control have conspired to prevent. There is a no less truthful than beautiful tribute to the memory of the latter in the following lines of John H. Sheppard, Esq,, suggested by seeing for the first timo the Bust of Judge Wilde, executed by Stephenson, at the request of the Suffolk Bar :

The marble speaks. ""Tis he," the observer cries, The very head - the mouth - the full-orb'd eyes, The Roman nose-the lip - the cheek so thin, The brow expanding from deep thought within ; So true to nature every feature glows, It seems like life just waking from repose.
A nobler heart ne'er warm'd the human breast, Than gave the image on that stone impress'd ; And while we gaze, and every look compare, We almost dream the mind itself is there, With all the wit and eloquence and power, As they beam'd forth in life's meridian hour. Bless'd be the sculptor, whose Promethean art Could touch the marble and such life impart.
Though never more we see thy luminous star Gleam midst the Pleiads o'er the learned Bar, Yet while Law's temple shall adorn the land, Time-honor'd worth like thine rever'd will stand.
Long, long may this memorial point the line, Where wreaths forensic ever brightest shine ; Teach the young sons of legal lore to aim At lofty heights of pure, unspotted fame ; And be like WILDE, generous, upright, sincere, Whose model practice caus'd no client's tear, Whose setting sun, to learned leisure given, Lingering yet gilds life's eve, beneath the smiles of Heaven.
