Thomas Cobbett’s Civil Magistrates’ Power in Matters of Religion modestly debated, London, 1653, was in part an answer to this “slanderous pamphlet” (Prince Catalogue, no. 97-154). The character of Clarke and the influence of his mission to England, wherein he procured the revocation of William Coddington’s commission as governor, gave rise to a controversy between George Bancroft and Josiah Quincy in relation to the misapprehension of Grahame on the subject in his History of the United States; cf. Historical Magazine, August, 1865 (ix. 233), and the references noted in the Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., ii. 339. Coddington (of whom there is an alleged portrait in the Council Chamber at Newport,—N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1873, p. 241) also had his controversy with the Massachusetts authorities, and his side of the question is given in his Demonstration of True Love unto ... the rulers of the Massachusetts, ... by one who was once in authority with them, but always testified against their persecuting spirit, which was printed in 1674. Menzies Catalogue, no. 422 ($36); Carter-Brown Catalogue, vol. ii. no. 1,101. See Magazine of American History, iii. 642; N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., April, 1882, p. 138.—Ed.]
