A96686	Hypocrisie unmasked: by a true relation of the proceedings of the Governour and company of the Massachusets against Samuel Gorton (and his accomplices) a notorious disturber of the peace and quiet of the severall governments wherein he lived : with the grounds and reasons thereof, examined and allowed by their Generall Court holden at Boston in New-England in November last, 1646. Together with a particular answer to the manifold slanders, and abominable falshoods which are contained in a book written by the said Gorton, and entituled, Simplicities defence against seven-headed policy, &c. Discovering to the view of all whose eyes are open, his manifold blasphemies; as also the dangerous agreement which he and his accomplices made with ambitious and treacherous Indians, who at the same time were deeply engaged in a desperate conspiracy to cut off all the rest of the English in the other plantations. VVhereunto is added a briefe narration (occasioned by certain aspersions) of the true grounds or cause of the first planting of New-England; the president of their churches in the way and worship of God; their communion with the Reformed Churches; and their practise towards those that dissent from them in matters of religion and Church-government. / By Edw. Winslow. Published by authority.	Winslow, Edward, 1595-1655.; Gorton, Samuel, 1592 or 3-1677.; Williams, Roger, 1604?-1683.	1647 (1647)	Wing W3037; Thomason E409_23; ESTC R204435	90,941	117

government_n at_o their_o liberty_n walk_v peaceable_o towards_o we_o as_o we_o trust_v we_o shall_v do_v towards_o they_o so_o that_o if_o our_o brethren_n here_o shall_v be_v restrain_v they_o walk_v peaceable_o the_o example_n must_v not_o be_v take_v from_o we_o but_o arise_v from_o some_o other_o principle_n but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v object_v though_o you_o deal_v thus_o with_o the_o presbyterian_a way_n yet_o you_o have_v a_o severe_a law_n against_o anabaptist_n yea_o one_o be_v whip_v at_o massachuset_n for_o his_o religion_n and_o your_o law_n banish_v they_o answ_n it_o be_v true_a the_o massachusets_n government_n have_v such_o a_o law_n as_o to_o banish_v but_o not_o to_o whip_v in_o that_o kind_n and_o certain_a man_n desire_v some_o mitigation_n of_o it_o it_o be_v answer_v in_o my_o hear_n it_o be_v true_a we_o have_v a_o severe_a law_n but_o we_o never_o do_v or_o will_v execute_v the_o rigour_n of_o it_o upon_o any_o and_o have_v man_n live_v among_o we_o nay_o some_o in_o our_o church_n of_o that_o judgement_n and_o as_o long_o as_o they_o carry_v themselves_o peaceable_o as_o hitherto_o they_o do_v we_o will_v leave_v they_o to_o god_n ourselves_o have_v perform_v the_o duty_n of_o brethren_n to_o they_o and_o whereas_o there_o be_v one_o whip_v among_o we_o it_o be_v true_a we_o know_v his_o judgement_n what_o it_o be_v but_o have_v he_o not_o carry_v himself_o so_o contemptuous_o towards_o the_o authority_n god_n have_v betrust_v we_o with_o in_o a_o high_a exemplary_a measure_n we_o have_v never_o so_o censure_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o may_v thank_v himself_o who_o suffer_v as_o a_o evil_a doer_n in_o that_o respect_n but_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o we_o be_v loath_a either_o to_o repeal_v or_o alter_v the_o law_n be_v because_o we_o will_v have_v it_o remain_v in_o force_n to_o bear_v witness_n against_o their_o judgement_n and_o practice_n which_o we_o conceive_v they_o to_o be_v erroneous_a and_o yet_o
