Mr. Roger VVilliams his Letter unto Mr. VVinthrop,
concerning Samuel Gorton.
Providence 8. 1st. 1640.
MAster Gorton having foully abused high and low at Aquidnick,
is now bewitching and bemadding poore Providence, both
with his uncleane and foule censures of all the Ministers of this
Country, (for which my self have in Christs name withstood him)
and also denying all visible and externall Ordinances in depth of
descriptionPage 56
Familisme, against which I have a little disputed and written, and
shall (the most High assi••ting) to death: As Paul said of Asia, I of
Providence (almost) All suck in his poyson, as at first they did at
Aquednick. Some few and my selfe withstand his Inhabitation,
and Towne-priviledges, without confession and reformation of
his uncivill and inhumane practises at Portsmouth: Yet the tyde
is too strong against us, and I feare (if the framer of Hearts help••
not) it will force mee to little Patience, a little Isle next to your
Prudence. Jehovah himselfe bee pleased to bee a Sanctuary to all
whose hearts are perfect with him; In him I desire unfainedly to
be
Your Worships true and affectionate
Roger Williams.
