About this book
Roger Williams is the subject of a memoir that quotes a tribute crediting him with establishing full, free and absolute liberty of conscience. A deed quoted in the memoir records Roger Williams's purchase of a plantation through earlier favors with the sachems and payments from his own money.
The deed says that the purchase was freely given to the township, especially to receive people troubled elsewhere about worship. The deed reserves two fields to Roger Williams, who says he had paid their owners separately and planted both fields with his own hands. A quoted summary proposes scriptural arguments against persecution for conscience.
