Note 132 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
The following, from Reply of John Rogers, 2d, to Justice Backus, appears to indicate the usual manner of this interference, although referring, in this particular case, to the church at Norwich.—“And several times since, when we have passed by their meeting-house along the road towards our own meeting, their constable has prest a considerable number of men out of their meeting house, who with horses have followed hard after us with ungoverned zeal, and have stopped us and made prisoners of us for the sake of our religion.”
