A great part of the nation was alarmed with the apprehensions of Arminianism, and that even Popery itself was approaching ; yea, the civil affairs, and the peace of the nation, began to be embroiled and intemipted by the false politics and bad counsels of the unhappy Prince on the throne ; so that New-England began to be looked on by them as a place of refuge ; and it is said, that some who proved principal actors in the changes and events that followed, had even determined to transport themsel...ves here, had they not been un- accountably restrained by authority. This is cer- tain, the same principles in some persons, which had rendered their stay uneasy at home, and which at first refused them a legal toleration in the wilds of America, made their leaving the Kingdom as difficult as possible. Whereas, could good policy have prevailed over bigotry, it would have ap- peared a good expedient for them, thus to clear the Kingdom of the disaffected and nonconformists, and with them make such an effectual plantation, as promised a great addition to the trade and riches, and power of the Kingdom, and greatly enlarged its territory.
