As to 2 THE COLONIAL SOCIETY OF MASSACHUSETTS [MarcH, his historic clash with the governing forces of the Bay Colony, I supposed, inmy guileless ignorance, that the ins and outs of the con- troversy had been long ago traced by the students of our early couldannals, and that I pass over that portion of his life that makes him so conspicuous a figure in our constitutional development with a brief reference to standard authorities.
