CITY OF WBra BOSTON.
REPORT
RECORD COMMISSIONERS.
Boston, December 31, 1880.
The Record Commissioners obtained the consent of the
City Council this year, to print, as their sixth volume, the
Land Records of Roxbury, thereby carrying out the idea
of apportioning the work among the various sections of our
present city. The second volume contains Boston records ;
the third, Charlestown records ; the fourth, Dorchester
records ; the present, Roxbury records ; and the seventh,
now in the printers' hands, will resume the Boston volumes.
The Roxbury book here printed, has, we believe, been
taken apart and re-arranged, so that it is no longer possible
to say when the record of grants was commenced. Cer-
tainly the first entry on our first page, dated in 1639, is not
in the same handwriting as the entries paged 1-86, on our
pages 12-51. These entries were all by the same hand,
and probably the following order explains them : —
Roxbury Town Records Vol. i. p. 9, " Town order for
makeing new transcript."
" The town boock wherin most mens lands being recorded
[by] gods prouidence being burned, therby much dammedg
may [be done?] to seuiriall men. to preuent dammedg as

down etch mans land giuen them by the town or that may
belondg [to] them other ways, and make return vnto the
town within three months soe as this may be accumplished
for the pshon of dammedg as afore sayd. and allsoe to record
hieaways and other town preuiUdges. 17. of 11. 1652.

WiLLLUM Parke
ISAK JMoRILL
Ed. Denyson
Griffen Craft."
These signatures are not autographs, but a comparison
with other pages leads us to the conviction, that this tran-
script, or book of possessions, was written by Edward Den-
ison at that time.
The other items in the book are dated, and are of the
miscellaneous nature generally to be found in old books of
town records.
As this particular volume would not make a book of the
size of others in this series of reports, the commissioners
searched for material to accompany it. The first volume of
town records is in proper form for printing by itself, and it
seemed unwise to divide it so as to fill out this book. It
was, however, believed, that the Records of the First Church
in Roxbury were of so conspicuous interest and value as to
warrant their selection for printing. Not only are they of
interest as being largely the work of that most famous of
our divines, the Rev. John Eliot, but they contain many
pages of entries of general interest. Mr. Eliot and his col-
league, the Rev. Samuel Danforth, happily conceived the
idea of entering in this volume a summary of public events,
year by year. As public records, therefore, they will be
valued by many who have no special interest in the doings
of the settlers at Roxbury.
Portions of this record have been printed already. In
1850, the late J. Wingate Thornton, Esq., published a num-
ber of ailicles, in a Roxbury newspaper, concerning the
early settlers. A portion of the church record was thus
printed, and fifty copies of these essays were issued in book
form. During the past two years the whole of the public
record of Ehot and Danforth has appeared in the New
Ensrland Historical and Genealogical Refjister, with elabo-
rate notes by William B. Trask, Esq. But even this pub-
licity is but partial, and the expense to a collector would be
considerable. The greater part of the volume, however, is
now printed for the first time, and all of the volume, except
a very few pages, is here given.
Record Commissioners' Report. v
The following description of the venerable manuscript
volume will show exactly what has been done with it. It
will be noticed that we have altered the arrangement in one
or two points, in order to make the whole more systematic.
Thus, at the end, the baptisms and burials, from 1641 to
1688, were written in double columns on each page, under
the heading of each year. As we could not print these
entries in this form, it seemed best to print all the baptisms
m chronological order, and then to treat the burials in the
same way.
In the manuscript we find first three leaves, on one of
which there is some poetry on Abigail Tomson, and on two
of the others some church votes, etc., in 1658. The pagina-
tion then begins regularly, but we have not inserted it in the
text, as many of the pages have but a few names on each.
Probably Mr. Eliot intended to leave room after each name
for further notes. On p. 56 (our printed page 86) the en-
tries begin to be more in detail. With page 70 (our page
"•OO) these entries end, and the lists of admissions begin, con-
tinuing through p, 81 (our p. 111). Pp. 82, 3, 4 are blank.
On p. 85 is the list of five names printed by us on p. 111.
P. 86 is blank.
Pp. 87-89 are entries of admission from 1753, printed
on pp. 111-114. Pp. 91-96, blank.
Pp. 97-110 are baptisms from 1751-1766 ; these we have
transferred to their proper place, and print on pp. 147-162.
Pp. 111-124 contain votes of the church from 1751-1774,
and are not printed, as they contain nothing of interest to the
public. Pp. 125-138, blank.
Pp. 139-144, baptisms resumed, 1768, etc. ; printed by us,
pp. 162-169.
Pp. 145-242, blank; pp. 243-4, two pages of accounts
A.D. 1672-7.
Pp. 245-249, Eliot's general records, printed on pp. 187-
191 ; p. 250, the note on William Curtis.
Pp. 251-262, Danforth's records, printed on pp. 196-212.
Pp. 262-268, Eliot's records, printed on pp. 191-196.
P. 269, Amos Adams' memorandum on our pp. 169-170,
ending with the entry of Dr. Porter's death in 1833. Pp. 270-
297, blank; p. 298, notes about a legacy; pp. 299-302 are
wanting, probably by error in numbering the pages. P. 303,
note of a legacy ; pp. 304-6, blank. Pp. 307-314, accounts,
A.D. 1759-1774, mostly about Col. Lamb's bequest. Pp.
315-6, blank ; pp. 317-18, accounts of 1759. Pp. 319-464,
blank.
With page 465 begin 34 pages not numbered, of baptisms
and burials, written in double columns. We print the bap-
v'l City DocuaiENT No. 114.
tisms, 1641-1688, on pp. 114-142, and the burials for the
same period on pp. 170-187.
Then come 5 pages of persons owning the covenant, 1700-
1750, printed on pp. 143-146; then the note by Rev. O.
Peabody, printed on p. 146; then 7 pages blank; then
pages numbered 519-525, blank ; lastly, p. 526, Index.
We have been thus particular in describing the contents of
the volume, as it was found inexpedient to print it continu-
ously. Like all such books, entries were made at random,
and it seemed best, in printing, to correct the aiTangement.
If the present members of the church will print the few
pages of church votes and accounts, they can feel sure rhat
this invaluable record will be certain of preservation.

REV. JOHN ELIOT'S RECORDS OF THE FIRST CHURCH

[Note. — The entries now printed commence on page 245 of the record
book. The reader is advised to consult the admirahlc notes to these records,
in the New England Historical and Genealogical lleoister in 1879 and 1880. —

again into the Church & recomm'! to Chh at Hampton
Isaak Johnson who had been admoinshed, left to a future time.
1643 m" 8. Goodwife Webb reconciled to the Chh.
1643, month 8 day 29. Robert Potter was excohivnieate, his
sins w'' first in the tims of m"' Hutchinson, w" divers of o"" Church
w'' seduced to familesme & scizme, he was of theire side & com-
pany, & so fild w"* them as y' he departed to the Jla'd rath"" then
would forsake them, t& being there he refused to heare the church
who had lovingly sent after him : secondly for that he was now
tossed w"' oth' winds of new doctrine forsakeing the Hand & joyn-
ing w"' Gorton & y' not only in his heresys but also in his hereti-
call blaspheamous »&; rep'chfull writings and publikly owned them in
Court, & maide himselfe guilty of all those wicked ways :
There happened (by Gods pvidence) a dreadful example of God's
judgment this yeare vpon one AVillii Frankling who belonged to
Boston towne, & take M' Ting his farme above muddy river be-
longing to Boston ; But he spent his sab: at o'' towiie being neerer ;
& after a season desired to joyne to o'' church: & had app'bationso
to doe, & was received.
But Satan p'sently did enter into him & having a boy whom he
had bought some years time & p'ving sick & naughty ; alter he
was joyned to the church he grew more passionate, cri;el & feirce
against him, though he had bene sharpe afore, j'ct vuknowne or
vndisposod to vs, but now he grew ont-iaigeous, so y' by sundry
cruel strips & oth' kind of ill vseage the boy dyed vuder his rigor-
ous hand, and y' (by a strange p'videiice of God & his own folly) at
Boston, as if G( d ment to bring him on the stage for an example
to all oth's for w*^'' sin that day monih y' he was admitted he was
excomunicated & though much paines were taken to have brought
him to repentance & reconciliation to the church, yet all in value
he p'tosting p'tly to deny «&; p'tly to mine his cruel actions towards
the boy so y' in y' estate he was executed at Hostoii as publick
records will show.

1644. A strange p'vkleuce of God fell out at Boston whei'e a
peece of Iron in a dung cart, one was smote into the head & brains
of the daughter f)f .Jakob EUot deakoa of the Church & brought
forth some of the braines ; and after more of the braines came forth,
& yet the Lord cured the child, the braines lying next the skin in
that place.
Soon after that one william Curtis of Roxbury was cast off fro"*
a cart of loggs vuto the ground w"' such violence, y' his head & one
side of his face were bruised, blood gushed out of his eare, his braine
was shaken, he senseless divers days, yet by degres thro' Gods
mercy he recovered his senses, yet his cheeke drawne awry & p'alitik,
but ill a quarter of a yeare, lie was pretty well recovered, to the
wonder of all men
1645. Toward the end of the first month call'd march; there
happened (by Gods p'vidence) a very dreadfull fire in Roxbury
streete ; none knoweth how it was kindled, but being a feirce wind,
it suddenly p'vailed. And in this mans house was a good p't of
the Countrvs magazine of powder of 17 or 18 barrels ; w"*^ made the
people, y' none durst come to save the house or goods till y' none
durst come to save the house or goods till y* was blowen vp, & by
that time the fire had taken the barnes & outhousing (w*^*^ were
many & great) so y' none were saved.
In this fire were Strang p'servations of Gods p'vidence to the
neighbors & towue, for the wind at first stood to cary the fire to
oth"" houses ; but suddenly turned &caryedit fro' all other houses ;
only caryiug it to the barns and out housing thereby. & it was a
feirce wind, & thereby drove the vehement heat fro' the neighbour
houses, w'^'' in a calmer time would by the x'y heate heve bene set
on fire.
But above all the p'servation of all people fro' hurt & othe"" houses
fro' fire at the blowing vp of the powder many being in greate
danger 5-et none hurt, & sundry houses set on fire by the blow &
yet all quenched, through Gods rich mercy in Christ.
1645. about the 16"' of 6' month was this anagra sent to m'
Dudley then Govno'' by some naraelesse author.
Thomas Dudley

This yeare we had sundry strange & p'digeous signes, a stormo
of haile at Boston w'' tlie stones were as big or bigger than muskett
bullets, and fell terribly.
The week after the like was at Dedha', w"" some were in fash'on
like cross barr cahon shott, oth''' like musket ballets, there wag

also a feirce hirricane at Brantree soone after. The Narragansets
resolved a warr y' yearc, but through mercy a peace was made.
Daulny y' yeare tooke La Tours Fort.
M*" Haukins & auoth"" ship, great vessels both cast away at
Spaine. The country suffered many losses ;it sea, at least £10000
in lesse then 2 years besids many lives, yea some think twenty, or
thirty thousand pound losse.
This winter we had much sieknesse at Roxbury & greater mor-
tality then ener we had afore, in so short a time, 5 dyed in 8 days
& more followed, as appeareth in the record y''ofF; W^ Curtis who
had that dreadful fall the year afore, excommun'd but upon his
repentance received again. Yet this mercy the Lord shewed N.E.
this 3-eare, y' the Iron w''ks were brought to p'fection & tryall
p'veing excellent well.
This yeare y"' was also a great scarcity of wine in the winter, w'^'*
had not so bene of 3 yeares afore, it was a gracious awakening the
land, to conside"" of the excesse y' hath here bene, that wa}'.
1646. This yeare arose a great disturbance in the country by
such as are called the Petitioners a trouble raised by Jesuited
agents to molest tlie peace of the churches & Com. w.
Gorton found favor in England, haveing none to informe against
him what he was, but M"" Winslow was sent over whom the Lord
direct, protect, & prosper.
A synod was held this yeare at Cambridge & adjourned to the
suriier following, after some questions were discussed.
This yeare about the end of the 5' month, we had a very Strang
hand of God vpon vs, }•' vpon a suddaine, innumerable armys of
Catterpillers filled the Country all over all the English plantations,
•^rch clevoured some whole meadows of grasse, & greatly devoured
barly, being the most greene & tender corne, eating off all the
blades & beards, but left the Corne, only many ears they quite eat
of by byting the greene straw asunder below the eare, so y' barly
was generally halfe spoyled, likewise they much hurt wheat, by
eating the blads off, but wheate had the lesse hnrt because it was
a little forwarder then barly, & so harder, & dryer, & they the
lesse medled w"" it. As for rie, it was so hard and neere ripe y'
they touched it not, but above all graines they devoured S^'lly oats.
And in some places they fell vpon Indian Corne, & quite devoured
it, in other places they touchecl it not ; they would goe crosse higli-
ways by 1000. much prayer there was made to God about it, w"^
fasting in divers places : & the Lord heard, & on a suddaine tooke
J™ all away againe in all p'' of the country, to the wonderment of
all men ; it was of the Lord for it was done suddainely.
This winter was one o' mildest y* ever we had, no snow all
winter long, nor sharp weath', hut they had long floods at Conec-
ticot, w'^'* was much spoyle to y'' corne, in the medows ; we never
had a bad day to goe p'ch to the Indians all this winter, praised be
the Lord.
1647. This spring we of Roxbury w"* some of Dorcheser ven-
tured to sea in a small vessell but the master wanted sufficient
experience, & the vessel overmasted & was over-sett, & many
weeks after came whole allraost, ashore to shew the error of men
190 City DoctJMENT No. 114.
to goe to sea so rawly : many m"" cast away in her, ra''" stouglitons
eldest Sonne, m"" Howards Eldest soniie w"" many others.
This spring we heard p'bable tidings of New haven ship w'^''
either was over sett, or fondered at sea, she was too teiidersided,
& therefore its to be feared she over sett, a very sad blow was y'
to N. E. to loose so many at once, of y' to N. E. to loose so many
at once, of y* note & worth.
At the time appoyuted the Synod assembled. But at that time
the hand of the Lord was very Strang among vs, by sickness ; it
being an extreame hot time by thunder weather & vnwholsome.
At the begining of wc*^'* weath"", we had a great thunder storme
in the night w"'* at Dorchester slew 3 oxen in the feild, w"'out any
remarkable signe, what it was y' killed them.
Fro y* time forward a great sickuesse epidemical, did the Lord
laj'^ vpon vs, so y' the greatest p' of a towne was sick at ouc, whole
familys sick 3'oung & old, scarce any escaping English or Indian.
The mailer of thesickneese was a very depe cold, w*" some tinct-
ure of a feaver, & full of m iligiiity^, & very dangerous if not well
regarded, by keeping a low diet ; the body solluble, warme, sweat-
ing, &c: at w*^"" time of visitation, blessed m"- Winthrop the
Govno" wife dyed. Also a lusty strong woman of Boston M"'
Stodder ; fondly eat greene peaches, w"'' set her to so vyolent a
vomiting as y' it burst her intralls, as its thought, & so she dyed.
Gods rods are teaching o"" epidemical sickuesse of colds, doth
rightly by a divine hand tell the churches what o' epidemical spr'l
disease is. Lord help vs to see it, & to have such colds in the
height of the heat of suiner, shews vs, y' in the heiglitof tlie means
of grace, peace, liberty of ordinances &c. yet may we then fall
into malignant & mortal colds, apostacys, & coolings, &c. I'his
visitation of God was exceediu'j; strange, it was suddaine, & gen-
erall : as if the Lord had iSediatly sent forth an angel, not w"" a
sword to kill, but w"^ a rod to chastize ; & he sraot all, good & bad,
old & young, or ats if there were a geuerall infection of the aer ;
w'''^ went fro North to South by degrees infect'g all, yea such as
were on the seas neere o"" Coasts were so infected, & smitten : And
this is remarkable, y' though few dyed yet some did ; and generally
those y' dyed were of o"" choycest flowers, & most p'cious saints
among oth" y' were then taken to rest, was y worthy & blessed
light M'' Hooker, who haveing a cold & p'"clied twice on the Sab:
(M'' Stone not being at home) and ministred both the sac: the Ld'
supper in the Ibrenoone, & Baptism in the afternoone, he was so
over spent, & his spirits sunk, y' he never could recover them
againe.
God so graciously p'sp'ed m'' Winslows indeavours in England,
against Gorton & his complices y' all theire great hopes were
dashed; & they among vs, a little pu'led in theire heads, & held
theire peace.
About the end of the 10' month of this yeare were very many
colds againe among the people, though not so generall, nor so
deepely seasing vpon theire spirits, as in the sumer time it was.
This winter we had a gracious p'vidence of God befell two
brothers Edward & Georg Deanison, who had l)een pryude incen-

diarys of some trobls among us, & full of distemp', and disaffec-
tion, but the Lord left them to open and shameful! drunkennesse
at Boston : espec'. edward. ^Y''^ did so greatly humble them both
y' though George (being a memb'') was excomvnicated, yet in a
short time was taken in againe. And Edward humbling himselfe
so effectually y' he was also speedyly received in to the Church,
this is the tryvmph of grace, to magnify grace by sinne.
This suiher we had notice of a very great & dismal storme at
Newfound Land w'^'^

m'" shephard did earnest p™ssethe eld's y"" p'"sent, to move authority
for a day of thanksgiving, we discoursed thr poynt, we thought y'
God called to fasting & prayre but we could joyue w"' o'' brethren
in a day of thanUsgiving, but for tiie p'"sent, because the North
church had all ready appoynted next 4' day to be a day of fasting
& prayre, we would stay untill next 5' day, the day after the fast,
& y" we will consider of moving for a day of thanksgiving, ^v con-
sider what causes to p'pouud, y'' ausw" we desired m" Foster to re-
turne to m'' Shepard.
10 day some captive women & children w"" set downe, shipped to
be sold for slaves.
12 day capt Tom having rendered himself, was brought downe,
a great rage was against him.
14 day 1 was at the Court, called to be there. Cowel & oth"
testified y*' saw him at Sudbury fight, he denyed and saith he was
y" sick & nev. ingaged ags' the English, only when y" were sur-
prized by the euemie a devil put it into his hd. to be willing to goe
w"' y™ knowing the rage of the English.
[1G76 mo. 4] 15 day I visited the p^'sonors, everytl)iug looketh
w"' a sad face. God frowneth.
19 day Capt Tom was tryed on his life, but I had not the least
knoAvledg of it, & y'fore was not p'"sent, he was condemed, upon
Cowells oath, & the others.
20 day I went to the p'son to comfort y'" I dealt faithfully w'*"
him, to confesse if w"" true, w'off he is accused & for w'^'' he is con-
demned. I believe he sayth the truth.
The same 20 day was Court at charlstowne, thither the Gov'no'
went to keepe Court, because the}^ waut magistrates in y" county
two being dead, & a 3'* left out.
There y*'' did appoynt the day of thanksgiving, to be held the 5'

afore the worship began I visited to p''soners & after it was done,
I went to the Gov'no"" & intreated y' Capt Tom might have liberty
to p've y' he was sick at the time w" the light was at Siidliury, &
y' he was not their, it might not be, but he did exp"'sse how bad a

man Tom was. I told hiin, y' at the great day he should find y'
Christ was of anothe'' miiid, or words to y' purpose, so I dep'ted.
22 Boston lecture, afore sermon the marshal gave me a paper y'
is the printed ord"" for the day of thanksgiving, <!c after sermon he
hurried away the p'soners to execution. I accompany"^ him to his
death, on the Ladder he lifted up his hands & said, I did never lift
up hand against the English, nor was I at sudbuiy. only I was
willing to goe away w"* the enemise y' surprised us. W" the ladder
was turned he lifted up his hands to heaven pniyre wise & so held
y™ till strength failed, & y" by degres y"^' sunk downe.
m'' Stoughtou & m"" Bulkly were sent to England to agent for the
Country. Lord p'ty y"' !
month 9, da}' 26 thex'n b™in Dublin in Ireland sent a gracious
gift of charity to relive such as suffered in o"" late warr, the ship
arrived y' day at night the master was at Boston on the Sabboth.
day 27. next moi'uing a dreadfull fire broke forth in Boston,
w''' consumed many dwelling houses & many rich shops & ware-
houses, & the north Tueeting house, in 2 hour's time, by reason of a
v'^y feirce wind, the history w'"off I leave to oth's to describe, but
this is observable y' so much p'visions was consumed, & so man}''
pore aded to such as were made pore by the war, y' (though the
gift was only dispeuced according as it was given to such as w'
made pore by the warr) yet the seasouablenesse of their charity was
very much magnif^'ed, and a crowne of beaut}' was set upon the
head of their charity thereby.
So soone as we condescended to impr've o'" praying Indians in
the warr. fro y' day forward we allwayes p'sp'd untill God pleased
to teare the rod in peece^, p'ly by conquest, p"^ by theire sickuesse
& death, & hath brought us peace, praised be his name. But no
sooner was y' rod broken, p'seutly the Northeastern warr broke
forth the history whereoff I leave to others to relate.
God also drew forth anoth"" rod upon o"" backs in epidemical sick-
nesse w^** tooke away many of us. And yet for all this it is the
frequent complaint of many wise & godly y' iitle reformation is to
be seeue of o"" cheife wrath p'voking sins, as pride, covetousnesse,
animositys, p'sonal neglecte of gospelizing o'' youth, & of gospeliz-
ing of the Indians &c. drinking houses mnltiplyed, not lessened,
Quakers openly tolerated.
1G77, month 2. about the 10* of this month Boston was much in-
dangered, by a chimny going on fire, in a very windy day, but the
Lord did succeed the indeavors of men, so y' it was quenched,
about the middle of this month a blazing star appeared in the east.
The Indian war now about to finish. wherein the praying Indians
had so eminent an interest in the recording whereoff I thought not
my selfe so fitting. I desisted fr5 this work of recording p'ticular
matters, & knowing y' it was coiuited to oth''s I declined it, but
now on 2*^ thought I blame my selfe for it. Lord p'don all my
many omissions, the successe of o' Indians was highly accepted
w'^ the souldiers, & y" now welcomed where ev"" y*"' met y'" y'' had
y™ to the ordinarys, made y"' drink. & bred y''bv such an habit to
love strong drink, it p'ved an horrible snare unto us. y" learned
BO to love strong drink y' y" would spend all y'' wages & pawne

a.uy they had for rum') or any strong driuk ; so diuakeuesse in
creased & quaiTcling fighting & were the sad effects of strong
drink. Praying to God was quenched, tlie younger generation
being debauched by it, and the good old generation of the first
heginers gathered home by death. So y' Satan imp'ved y^ op'tun-
ity to defile, debase, & bring into contempt the whole work of
praying to God. a great apostasy defiled us. And yet through
grace some stood and doe stand, ami the work is on foot to this day,
praised be the Lord, when the Indians were hurried away to an
Iland at half an hou''s warning, pore soules in terror y*" left theire
goods, books, bibles, only some few caryed y'' bibles, the rest were
spoyled & lost. So y' w" the wares w"" finished, & y" returned to
y'' places y*^' w"' greatly impov'islied, but y*^' especially bewailed y"^
want of Bibles, y' made me meditate upon a 2'^ irap''s8ion of o'
Bible, & accordingly tooke pains to revise the first edition. I also
intreated m"^ John Cotton to help in y' work, he having obtaincid
some ability so to doe. he read over the whole bible, & whatever
doabts he had, he writ y™ downe in order, & gave y™ to rac, to try
y™ & file y'" over among o"" Indians. I obtained the favor to re-
print the New testara' & psalmes, but I met w"^ much obstruction
for reprinting the old testam\ yet b^' prayre to Go:l, Patience &
intreatye, I at last obteiued y' also, pi-aised be the Lord.
RECORDS OF REV. SAMUEL DANFORIH.
[Note. — Rev. Samuel Danforth, M.A., second son of Nicholas Danforth.,
of Cambridge, Mass., was born in Framin<j,ham, co. of Suffollc, England, in
September, 1(;26. lie came to New England with his father, in 1634, hig
mother having died when the son was three years old. Ho graduated at
Harvard College in 1043, in the same class with the Rev. Samuel Mather, son
of the Rev. Richard Mather, of Dorchester. He was made a freeman in 1047,
and on the 24th of September, KJSO, was ordained as colleague to the Rev.
John Eliot, pastor of the First Church in Roxbury. Mr Danforth married
Mary Wilson, daughter of the Rev. John Wilson, of Boston, Nov. 5, 1651.
They had twelve children, two of whom were ministers of the gospel, John,
who settled at Dorchester, and Samuel at Taunton. Rev. Samuel Danforth,
the father, in addition to his seiwices as a. minister, was of some note as an
astronomer, mathematician, and poet. For several years he published
almanacs. John Farmer states that he had seen " those from 1646 to 1649,
inclusive," and that " some of them are valuable for the chronological tables
at the end." The ministry of Mr. Danforth continued twenty-four years. He
died Nov. 19, 1674, at the age of 48. His colkva^ue Eliot, who outlived liim
more than fifteen years, said, " Mi/ Brother Danforth ma^/e the most glorious
End that ever I saw ! " The widow of Mr. Danforth married Joseph Rock,
or Ruck, of Boston, where she died, Sept. 13, 1713, in the eighty-first year of
her age. See Register, vii. 317; American Quarteidy Register, viii. 135-

reprehended Him for so speaking, «& y' 3-^ foreman of y"" Jury
affirmed y' he had so spoken. 2. By y* Testimony of Samuel
Williams, who heard Hugh Clark speak those very words in open
court. But Hugh Clark in y* cluu'ch deuyed y' y® [he?] spake
these words & that the court or any of y^ mngistrates imputed it
to him y* he had so spoken or reprehended & blamed him for it :
By all w'='^ it appeared to y* church y' his soul was sick & needed
medicine & therefore dispensed a publick admonition vnto Him.

Him of his error in so speaking & argued y* matter with him to
shew him his error & yet he stood to justify what he had said [at-
