NOTE 22. Suppressing Heresy: The Flight of Anne Hutchinson

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.660
Volume 1, Chapter 22, Suppressing Heresy, The Flight of Anne Hutchinson

2
00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:12.760
Very shortly after the expulsion of Roger Williams, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was

3
00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:20.040
rent far more widely by another heresy with roots deep in the colony, the antinomianism

4
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:26.220
of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson. A major reason for the crisis that Anne Hutchinson's heresy

5
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:34.220
One of the reasons why she was so popular in the country was that she occupied a high place in the colony's oligarchy.

6
00:00:34.220 --> 00:00:45.220
Arriving in Massachusetts in 1634, she and her husband lived close to Governor Winthrop's mansion in Boston and participated in Boston's high society.

7
00:00:45.220 --> 00:00:54.220
A friend of the eminent Reverend John Cotton, she first confined her religious activities to expatiating on Cotton's sermons.

8
00:00:54.220 --> 00:01:02.260
However, Mrs. Hutchinson developed a religious doctrine of her own, now known as antinomianism.

9
00:01:02.260 --> 00:01:08.580
She preached the necessity for an inner light to come to any individual chosen as one of

10
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:11.040
God's elect.

11
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:18.480
Such talk marked her as far more of a religious individualist than the Massachusetts leaders.

12
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.060
Salvation came only through a covenant of grace emerging from the inner light, and was

13
00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:30.900
was not at all revealed in a covenant of works, the essence of which is good works on earth.

14
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:40.460
This meant that the fanatically acidic sanctification imposed by the Puritans was no evidence whatever

15
00:01:40.460 --> 00:01:42.940
that one was of the elect.

16
00:01:42.940 --> 00:01:48.060
Furthermore, Anne Hutchinson made it plain that she regarded many Puritan leaders as

17
00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:50.640
not of the elect.

18
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.160
She also came to assert that she had received direct revelations from God.

19
00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:04.160
In contrast to Williams' few Salem followers, Anne Hutchinson had rapid and sweeping success

20
00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:10.360
in converting her fellow citizens. John Cotton now became a follower of hers, as did young

21
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:16.960
Sir Henry Vane, chosen governor by the general court in 1636, and Anne's brother-in-law,

22
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:24.760
Reverend John Wheelwright. Indeed, John Winthrop, deputy governor in 1636, wrote disgustedly

23
00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:31.040
that virtually the entire church at Boston had become her converts. As bitter enemies

24
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:37.560
of Anne, there remained especially Winthrop and the senior minister of Boston, John Wilson.

25
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.840
Mrs. Hutchinson failed in her attempt to oust Wilson from his post, but she did succeed

26
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:52.000
in having him censured by his own congregation. The Hutchinsonian movement began, if inadvertently,

27
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:58.340
to pose political problems for the oligarchy as well. The conscription of soldiers for

28
00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:04.960
war against the Indians met resistance from Boston Hutchinsonians on the ground that the

29
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:12.680
military chaplain, Reverend John Wilson, was under a covenant of works rather than of grace.

30
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.480
The anti-Hutchinson forces moved first against the fiery Reverend Mr. Wheelwright. The General

31
00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:26.040
Court narrowly convicted him of sedition and contempt in March 1637, but the sentencing

32
00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:31.680
of Wheelwright was postponed. The turning point of the Hutchinson affair came with the

33
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.900
May election of 1637, which the Winthrop forces managed to win by shifting its sight from

34
00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:44.180
From Pro-Hutchinson, Boston, to Newtown, now Cambridge.

35
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:49.340
The election pitted Sir Henry Vane against former Governor Winthrop and Thomas Dudley,

36
00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:52.480
running for his old post of Deputy Governor.

37
00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:57.640
With the election turning on the Hutchinson issue, Vane carried Boston but lost the other

38
00:03:57.640 --> 00:03:58.640
towns heavily.

39
00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:03.740
Winthrop, Dudley, and the majority of the magistrates or assistants were carried by

40
00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:09.340
by the conservative anti-Hutchinson faction, a not surprising victory when we consider

41
00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:14.940
that suffrage was restricted to the ranks of accepted church members.

42
00:04:14.940 --> 00:04:21.860
This overwhelming defeat spelled swift suppression for the antinomian heretics. Quickly the new

43
00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:27.020
general court passed a law that penalized strangers and was directed against a group

44
00:04:27.020 --> 00:04:32.500
of Hutchinsonians known to be on their way from England. Disheartened, Sir Henry Vane

45
00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:37.740
John Cotton gave up the struggle and returned to England. Seeing the way the wind was blowing,

46
00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:43.780
John Cotton promptly deserted his old disciple, abjectly recanted his heresies, and at a new

47
00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:52.860
town synod denounced 91 antinomian opinions as unwholesome or blasphemous. Vain was gone

48
00:04:52.860 --> 00:05:00.420
and Cotton an apostate, but there was still the reverend Mr. Wheelwright. The already

49
00:05:00.420 --> 00:05:04.800
They convicted Wheelwright was again hauled before the general court and sentenced to

50
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.420
banishment from the colony. Wheelwright walked through the snows to New Hampshire in the

51
00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:17.900
north, where he founded the settlement of Exeter. When by 1643 Massachusetts had appropriated

52
00:05:17.900 --> 00:05:25.660
the New Hampshire towns, Wheelwright fled to Maine. But by 1646 Wheelwright had recanted,

53
00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:33.660
He wailed his own vehement and censorious spirit and was allowed back into Massachusetts.

54
00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:39.660
Having vented their fury on the major followers and isolated the leader, the Puritan oligarchs

55
00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:45.300
proceeded to the culminating point of the drama, the trial and persecution of Anne

56
00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:47.640
Hutchinson herself.

57
00:05:47.640 --> 00:05:50.820
There was no independent judiciary in the colonies.

58
00:05:50.820 --> 00:05:56.740
The supreme judicial arm in Massachusetts was the legislative body, the General Court,

59
00:05:56.740 --> 00:06:02.340
at this time a unicameral legislature presided over by the Governor.

60
00:06:02.340 --> 00:06:08.400
Anne Hutchinson was hauled up for trial, or rather public examination, before the General

61
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:12.100
Court in November 1637.

62
00:06:12.100 --> 00:06:18.260
Anne's enemies on the General Court duly tried her, convicted her of sedition and contempt,

63
00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:24.340
and banished her from the colony. Governor Winthrop summarized the proceedings thus.

64
00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:29.540
The court hath already declared themselves concerning the troublesomeness of her spirit

65
00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:36.380
and the dangers of her course amongst us which is not to be suffered. Winthrop then called

66
00:06:36.380 --> 00:06:42.280
for a vote that Mrs. Hutchinson is unfit for our society and that she shall be banished

67
00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:46.840
out of our liberties and imprisoned till she be sent away.

68
00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:50.200
Only two members voted against her banishment.

69
00:06:50.200 --> 00:06:56.040
When Winthrop pronounced the sentence of banishment, Anne Hutchinson courageously asked,

70
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.900
I desire to know wherefore I am banished.

71
00:07:00.900 --> 00:07:02.940
Winthrop refused to answer.

72
00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:03.940
Say no more.

73
00:07:03.940 --> 00:07:07.880
The court knows wherefore and is satisfied.

74
00:07:07.880 --> 00:07:10.880
It was apparently enough for the court to be satisfied.

75
00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:18.160
No justification before the bar of reason, natural justice or the public was deemed necessary.

76
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.780
The General Court now proceeded against all the leading Hutchinsonians, concentrating

77
00:07:23.780 --> 00:07:30.080
on 60 Bostonians who had previously signed a moderate petition denying that Reverend

78
00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:35.960
Wheelwright had stirred up sedition among them. Two members of the General Court, both

79
00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:41.580
Both of whom had spoken up for Mrs. Hutchinson at the trial were expelled from the court

80
00:07:41.580 --> 00:07:43.960
and banished from the colony.

81
00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:51.480
Many people were disfranchised, and 75 citizens were disarmed on the pretext that the Hutchinsonians

82
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:58.240
were plotting to follow the path of the German Anabaptists of old and rise up in armed revolt.

83
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.940
The reasoning, as expounded by Dudley at the Hutchinson trial, was that the German Anabaptists

84
00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:07.740
had also claimed to enjoy private revelations.

85
00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:13.060
Hutchinsonian military officers were forced to recant, but the determined Captain John

86
00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:18.900
Underhill refused to do so, and was duly banished.

87
00:08:18.900 --> 00:08:22.180
Anne Hutchinson's ordeal was still not ended.

88
00:08:22.180 --> 00:08:26.940
Spared banishment during the rugged winter, she was imprisoned at the home of one of her

89
00:08:26.940 --> 00:08:33.460
major enemies, and the elders attempted throughout the winter to argue her out of her convictions.

90
00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:51.460
Finally, they subjected her to an ecclesiastical trial the following March. Tormented, ill and exhausted, Mrs. Hutchinson momentarily recanted. But as she continued to be denounced, her spirits returned, and she put forth her views again.

91
00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:57.680
To save himself from the fate meted out to the other Hutchinsonians, John Cotton now

92
00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:04.400
apparently felt that his personal recantation was not enough, so he joined the pack rending

93
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:11.680
Mrs. Hutchinson at the ecclesiastical trial. This man, whom Anne Hutchinson had revered

94
00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:17.860
and followed to the New World, now turned on her savagely, wailing that he had been

95
00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:25.420
and duped, denouncing her as a liar and for conduct tending eventually to infidelity.

96
00:09:25.420 --> 00:09:31.620
The Boston Ecclesiastical Court then pronounced excommunication upon Anne, and it was the

97
00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:37.620
peculiar satisfaction of the Reverend John Wilson, her most bitter enemy, to deliver

98
00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:44.980
the sentence, I do cast you out, and in the name of Christ I do deliver you up to Satan,

99
00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:51.460
you may learn no more to blaspheme, to seduce and to lie, and I do account you from this

100
00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:57.180
time forth to be a heathen and a publican. Therefore I command you in the name of Jesus

101
00:09:57.180 --> 00:10:04.380
Christ and of His Church as a leper to withdraw yourself out of the congregation.

102
00:10:04.380 --> 00:10:10.780
The undaunted Anne Hutchinson had the last word, better to be cast out of the Church

103
00:10:10.780 --> 00:10:14.340
than to deny Christ.

104
00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:19.540
While Anne was undergoing imprisonment and subsequent excommunication, the leaders of

105
00:10:19.540 --> 00:10:25.020
the Hutchinsonian movement gathered together to flee the colony and to prepare a home for

106
00:10:25.020 --> 00:10:31.700
themselves and Anne away from the developing reign of terror in Massachusetts.

107
00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:38.600
On March 7, 1638, nineteen men, including Anne's husband, William Hutchinson, gathered

108
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:44.120
Founded at the home of the eminent Boston merchant William Coddington, one of the wealthiest

109
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:51.000
men in the colony and its former treasurer, in a solemn compact, the nineteen formed themselves

110
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:56.780
into a body politic, choosing Coddington as their judge.

111
00:10:56.780 --> 00:11:02.680
The Hutchinsonians first intended to go to Long Island or Jersey to make their home,

112
00:11:02.680 --> 00:11:08.080
but they were persuaded by Roger Williams to settle in the Rhode Island area.

113
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:14.000
In Williams's friendly advice, Coddington purchased the island of Equidnic from the Indians and

114
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:22.680
founded on the island the settlement of Pocasset, now Portsmouth. Anne, ill and exhausted, joined

115
00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:29.080
her husband at Equidnic in April as soon as her trial was over. The enormous significance

116
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:34.080
of Roger Williams's successful flight and settlement of Providence two years before

117
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:42.040
was now becoming evident. For Williams's example held out a beacon light of liberty to all

118
00:11:42.040 --> 00:11:48.300
the free spirits caught in the vast prison house that was Massachusetts Bay. By the happy

119
00:11:48.300 --> 00:11:53.000
accident of the demise of the Council for New England, the land south of Massachusetts

120
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:59.040
Bay and west of Plymouth was free land, free of proprietary and effective royal government

121
00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:05.480
alike. It was a haven for religious liberty, and for diverse sex and groupings, and for

122
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:11.760
an extension of the logic of liberty as well, for once liberty is pursued and experienced,

123
00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:18.080
it is difficult to hobble its uttermost expansion. When the ill Anne Hutchinson arrived at her

124
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:25.520
haven in Equidnick, the many months of persecution had left their mark, and she suffered a miscarriage,

125
00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:30.560
As did her beautiful young follower, Mary Dyer, who had stood up to walk out of the

126
00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:34.720
Boston church with the excommunicated Anne.

127
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:40.520
The Puritan leaders of Massachusetts Bay, preoccupied for years afterward with the Hutchinsonian

128
00:12:40.520 --> 00:12:47.760
menace, characteristically gloated in righteous satisfaction at the misfortunes of Anne and

129
00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:48.960
Mary.

130
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:53.920
The theocrats were jubilant and the Reverend John Cotton, Governor Winthrop and the Reverend

131
00:12:53.920 --> 00:13:01.840
Thomas Weld all hailed Anne's and Mary's sufferings as the evident judgment of God.

132
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.040
It was typical of the Puritans to hail the misfortunes of their enemies as God's judgment

133
00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:13.020
and to dismiss any kindness shown them by others as simply God's will and therefore requiring

134
00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:19.600
no gratitude to those showing it. Massachusetts Bay continued indeed in a state of hysteria

135
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:25.660
over the Hutchinsonian heresy for a number of years. Anne's followers and sympathizers

136
00:13:25.660 --> 00:13:31.660
were fined, whipped and banished, and five years later Robert Potter was executed for

137
00:13:31.660 --> 00:13:37.220
being a Hutchinsonian. It was also typical that with Anne outside their jurisdiction,

138
00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:42.460
the Boston church leaders should send a committee to a quidnick to try to persuade her of the

139
00:13:42.460 --> 00:13:47.740
error of her ways. If they could no longer inflict violence upon Anne, they could at

140
00:13:47.740 --> 00:14:00.740
It is not surprising that the beleaguered Anne gave the committee short shrift, kicked it out of her home and denounced the Boston Church as a whore and a strumpet.

141
00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:07.740
In Pocasset, Anne was spiritual leader of the flock. In Cottington, temporal leader.

142
00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:18.740
The Pocasset government was chosen by the assembled freeholders and, like Providence, the government had to consent to the arrival of any newcomers to the colony.

143
00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:28.740
But Anne Hutchinson was becoming more and more concerned for the principle of freedom of conscience rather than for propagating her own religious views.

144
00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:36.740
She began to see that Coddington and his associates were launching a new theocracy of their own in the infant colony.

145
00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:45.740
For Coddington was judge of the settlement, basing his decrees and decisions on the word of God as interpreted by himself.

146
00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:52.740
And Anne began to chafe at the state control that Coddington was increasingly imposing.

147
00:14:52.740 --> 00:15:03.740
Coddington based his seizure of power on the flimsy legalism of his being the sole name on the deed of purchase of a quidnick from the Indians.

148
00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:18.740
Therefore, he claimed for himself all the rights of a feudal lord, owning the whole island, owning and renting out the lots of all the settlers, and asserting authority over all land grants.

149
00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:27.740
At the beginning of 1639, Anne Hutchinson led a movement that successfully modified the Bocassic Constitution.

150
00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:33.740
The change gave the body of freemen a veto over the actions of the governor

151
00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:38.740
and the right to elect three elders to share the governor's powers.

152
00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:44.740
Thus, the increasingly dictatorial rule of Cottington was checked.

153
00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:58.740
Cottington reacted most ungraciously to this limitation on his power, and he appointed a constable to keep watch on any manifest breaches of the law of God that tend to civil disturbance.

154
00:15:58.740 --> 00:16:08.740
Had Anne Hutchinson fled the theocracy of Massachusetts only to see a miniature raise its head in her new home?

155
00:16:08.740 --> 00:16:24.740
Finally, in April, the Hutchinson forces insisted at the Pocasset town meeting on a new election for governor, a demand that startled Coddington, who expected to remain in office indefinitely and without the fuss and bother of elections.

156
00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:34.740
Vigorous pressure by Freeman on Coddington finally won the demand for elections, and William Hutchinson was elected by a large majority.

157
00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:48.740
Coddington and his followers, including Nicholas Easton, John Cogshill, William Dyer and John Clark, abandoned Pocasset and founded the new settlement of Newport, at the southern end of Aquidneck Island.

158
00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:56.740
The victorious Hutchinsonians adopted a new compact of government and changed the name of the town to Portsmouth.

159
00:16:56.740 --> 00:17:02.740
Oligarchical distinctions were eliminated and all the male inhabitants signed the new compact.

160
00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:08.740
Provision was made for jury trial and church and state were at last separated.

161
00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:14.740
There was no provision, for example, in the new civil compact about the Word of God,

162
00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:18.740
the only rule by which Cottington had made his decisions.

163
00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:23.740
Anne Hutchinson had been rapidly learning firsthand about state persecution

164
00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:53.740
The power-hungry Coddington now mounted an armed attempt to rule over Portsmouth, but was forcibly ejected by the Hutchinsonians. Soon, however, Coddington was able to arrest William Hutchinson and order his disfranchisement. Anne and her husband were again victims of heresy.

165
00:17:53.740 --> 00:18:11.740
A year later, on March 12, 1640, the two groups came to an agreement, and the settlements of Portsmouth and Newport, the latter by now being the larger of the two, united, primarily on the libertarian principles of Portsmouth.

166
00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:17.740
Coddington was chosen governor, however, and William Hutchinson one of his assistants.

167
00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:26.740
The separate towns were allowed to retain their autonomy and the laws were to be made by the citizens rather than by an oligarchy.

168
00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:31.740
And a year later, in May 1641, the Equidnic government declared,

169
00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:36.740
It is ordered that none shall be accounted as delinquent for doctrine.

170
00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:41.740
Religious liberty had been officially decreed in Equidnic.

171
00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:47.740
The settlements of Providence and Equidnic had raised the banner of freedom for all religious creeds.

172
00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:53.740
In this friere, diversity of religion came to proliferate in the colony.

173
00:18:53.740 --> 00:19:01.740
Soon, however, Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, ruminating in the friere of Rhode Island on the meaning of her experience,

174
00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:05.740
came to an astounding and startling conclusion,

175
00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:28.740
and one that pushed the logic of Roger Williams' libertarianism far beyond the master, for, as Williams reported in The Wildermen, Anne now persuaded her husband to give up his leading post as assistant in the Equidnic government because of the opinion, which he had newly taken up, of the unlawfulness of magistrate.

176
00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:46.740
In short, the logic of liberty and a deeper meditation on scripture had both led Anne to the ultimate bounds of libertarian thought, to individualist anarchism. No magistrate, whatever, was lawful.

177
00:19:46.740 --> 00:20:07.740
As Anne's biographer, Winifred Rugg, put it, she was supremely convinced that the Christian held within his own breast the assurance of salvation. For such persons, magistrates were obviously superfluous. As for the other, they were to be converted, not coerced.

178
00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:18.740
To the Puritans of Massachusetts, Equidnic was an abominable isle of errors, and the Rhode Island settlements were rogue's land.

179
00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:29.740
Massachusetts began to plot, to assert its jurisdiction over these pestiferous settlements and to crush the havens of liberty.

180
00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:34.740
Indians were egged on to raid the Providence and Equidnic territories.

181
00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:41.740
In 1642, soon after his resignation from public office, William Hutchinson died. Deprived of her husband in Maine City, he was deported to the United States.

182
00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:11.740
Ann Hutchinson left Rhode Island to go to Long Island, in New Netherland, and finally to settle in the wilderness of Pelham Bay.

183
00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:43.140
Bay. There, in late summer of 1643, Anne and her family were murdered by a band of

184
00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:49.900
Indians engaged in arm struggle with the Dutch. William's and Anne's deaths were hailed

185
00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:56.020
and gloated over by the Puritan oligarchy of Massachusetts Bay. To the unconcealed delight

186
00:21:56.020 --> 00:22:03.240
of the divines of Massachusetts, Anne Hutchinson had finally been physically destroyed. But

187
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:09.600
But the spirit of liberty that she embodied and kindled was to outlast the despotic theocracy

188
00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:16.800
of Massachusetts Bay. Perhaps, in the light of history, the victory in the unequal contest

189
00:22:16.800 --> 00:22:23.400
was Anne Hutchinson's. Even in the short run, Massachusetts Bay was soon to meet again

190
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:29.900
the spirit of Anne Hutchinson, the emphasis on the inner light, on individual conscience,

191
00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:37.020
on Liberty, in the New Sect of Quakers, a sect joined by many Hutchinsonians including

192
00:22:37.020 --> 00:22:43.220
William Coddington and Mary Dyer, and in the Baptists, headed by Anne Hutchinson's sister

193
00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:48.450
Katherine Scott, and by the Hutchinsonian Dr. John Clark.
