TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE ROBERT Earl of Warwick Governour in Chiefe and Lord High Admirall of all those Islands and other Plantations of the English in AMERICA Together with the rest of those truly Honorable Members of both Houses of Parliament joyned in Commission with him for ordering the affaires of the said Plantations Right Honourable WEre not your Wisdome and experience in the great and weighty affaires of State so well known and were yee not so much accustomed to the unjust complaints of clamorous persons I might be discouraged to appeare in the righteous cause of the United Colonies of New-England and more especially in the behalf of the Governour and Company of the Massachusets to render a reason of their just and righteous proceedings against Samuel Gorton and his Companions who however where they are unknown they goe here under the garbe of a peaceable people yet if your Honours and the rest ●f the Honourable Committee shall be pleased when more weighty employments shall give way to peruse our just defence against his clamorous complaints and scandalous Treatise called Simplicities defence against Seven-headed Policy c. I make no question but yee will receive full satisfaction in what we have done and be ready to justifie our proceedings against them as godly and righteous The reason wherefore I am forced to appeare in Print before I give a particular answer to your Honou●s and the rest of the Honourable Committee is because I find a more grosse deformatory aspersion cast upon the Countrey to the publick view of our Nation which as it is deare in our eyes witnesse our frequent publick solemn dayes of prayer to the Throne of grace for it together with our private supplications which the Searcher of the heart best knows sympathizing with it in every condition to the losse of Ships Goods c. to the great weakening of our estates so wee desire to remove whatsoever may sadden the thoughts of our Nation against us especially your Honours and all that are godly in Christ Jesus What greater wrong can bee done a poore persecuted people that went into the wildernesse to avoid the tyrannicall Government of the late Hierarchy and to enjoy the Liberties Christ Jesus hath left unto his Churches which these blasphemous Adversaries of ours so much sleight and cast off then to be accounted persecutors of Christ in his Saints yea to go thither to that end to become outragiously cruell barbarously inhumane uniting together to suck the blood of our Country-men c. And yet Right Honorable it will and doth appear in the following Treatise that Samuel Gorton was prosecuted against First at Plymouth as a grosse disturber of the Civill peace and quiet of that Government in an open factious and seditious manner Secondly hee was no lesse troublesome but much more at Roade Island having gotten a strong party to adhere unto him affronting that Government as Plymouth in their publique administration of Justice so foully and grossely as mine eares never heard the like of any to which Relation in the following Discourse I referre your Honours being compiled as briefly as may bee Gorton being there whipt in his person and thence banished with some of his principall adherents they went next to Providence where Mr. Williams and some others have built a small Towne This people receiving them with all humanity in a cold season when the former places could no longer beare his insolencies hee soone undermined their Government gained a strong party amongst them to his owne to the great distraction of Mr. Williams and the better party there contending against their Laws and the execution of Justice to the effusion of bloud which made Mr. Williams and the rest sadly complaine to the Government of the Massachusets and divers of them take the protection of that Government to defend their persons and estates But when they saw Mr. Williams resolve rather to lose the benefit of his labours then to live with such ill-affected people and the neighbour Governments become affected with Gortons mis-rule there also hee and his Companions in evill began then to thinke of buying a place of a great asp●ring Sachim or Indian Prince to the wrong of the proper Owners two infer●●ur Sachims who also as well as divers English of Providence submitted their persons and lands to the Government of the Massachusets and desired their protection not onely against the oppressing tyranny of Myantonimo the foresaid Great Sachim but against Gorton and his Companions who intr●ded into their proper right by unwarrantable meanes c. Now the Government of the Massachusets having used all due meanes and none prevailing but their gentlenesse answered with the greatest contempt that might bee At the next Meeting of the Commissioners for the United Colonies they complained of Gorton and his irregular Companions which the said Commissioners tooke into serious consideration and the more because of Gortons c. extraordinary familiarity with Myantonimo and the rest of the Nanohigganset Sachims who were knowne to bee in a deepe Conspiracy against all the English in the Land at the same time And therefore by a solemne Act gave liberty to the Government of the Massachusets to call them to account and proceed with them so farre as might stand with righteousnesse and justice which they accordingly did Now these Right Honourable c. are the true causes of all the Censures and punishments that befell Gorton in the Countrey onely needlesly in
