Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Record, and Repertory of Notes and Queries, 1872, Vol. 1: Concerning the History and Antiquities of America and Biography of Americans Then the next day being Church day, the scout fetched me to the Court where I think, before my body was in their view, within the chamber-door, the Governor bade me put off my hat but before I could make answer, he bade the scout take it off. Then he asked me about Meetings. And af ter some words, said, I had broken their law. 80 he called for it and read it to me, wherein he termed the servants of the Lord to be heretics, deceivers, and sedu cers, or such like, and then asked me if I would deny that I had kept Meetings. I answered that I should not deny meetings; but that I had kept such meetings or en tertaincd sur h persons as be there read of I did deny, forl could not own them to be such; but he would not reason it at all. 'iben he said: I ut will you deny meetings? I answered I shall neither den) nor affirm. Will you put us to prove it, said he. I said: Nay I shall not put to proving; but if you have any thing against me. You may act. Here I am in your hands ready to suffer what you shall he suffered to inflict upon me, or to that purpose. So the Go vernor put by all reasoning, and they spake to me to pass forth. I said I was willing, first, to give them to understand the condition of my family and the cruel ty of bringing me so from them. So when I had declared it to them, I said: Now, do you judge at whose hands it will be re quired, if they suffer in my absent c. The Governor said: At yours. So being spo ken to I was going away, and two or three of them spake to me, to take my hat, which I did not intend to leave. So it ly ing by the door I took it and went to the ('ourt aguard again, and the N out came a little after and told me: [that] When I had paid 150 guilders I might go home. I asked him what I must do till then. He said I must tarry there in that place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
