Note 141 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Mather’s Hist. New England, b. iii. p. 4. Palmer’s Nonconf. Mem. passim. It is no satisfactory answer to the statement in the text, that the episcopal clergy had suffered persecution at a previous period. See on this subject, Adkins’s Hist. Indep. Ch. at Southampton, p. 38, note; and Rogers’s Life of Howe, p. 129.
