About this book
James Truslow Adams is the author of The founding of New England. The text calls Mrs. Hutchinson a sincerely religious woman and says she held Thursday meetings in her house for those women who had been unable to attend church on the preceding Sunday. The text says that Mrs. Hutchinson gradually evolved the doctrine that, while Mr. Cotton and her brother-in-law preached a Covenant of Grace, all of the others preached a Covenant of Works.
A footnote says that it is difficult to judge public sentiment by petitions, but that in 1680 a petition signed by 136 inhabitants of York, Kittery, and Wells prayed for release from Massachusetts. The text says that, assured now of sufficient food and with the Indian trade well established, the settlers felt that their position in these respects was secure, but that two matters gave them cause for anxiety, one being the interference by outsiders with their trade on the Kennebec.
