Reading edition

These "irregular and disobedient persons" were undoubtedly the members of Thomas Weston's colony at Weymouth. The Council for New England, in May, 1622, took notice of the complaints against Weston and moved that a proclamation be secured warning those who went to New England in contempt of authority (Records in Amer. Antiquarian Society Proceedings for April, 1867, p. 59). The proclamation was ordered by the Privy Council on October 23, 1622 (Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial, i, 55).
