To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the authorities of Massachusetts would not relax the sentence of banishment, even for the advan- tage of a personal interview with the sachem, and in a matter so important to the peace and welfare of the colony. In 1640, the tranquillity of Providence was disturbed by disputes respecting the boundaries of lands ; and a com- mittee was appointed authorized to terminate these dissen- sions by arbitration. The report of tliis committee is highly characteristic of the community. One of its prom...inent articles is in these words : — *' We agree, as formerly hath been the liberties of the town, so still to hold forth liherty of conscience" From the social feuds wliich had arisen, it became evident to the sagacious mind of Williams that a more energetic government was necessary, and the citizens of Providence established a form of civil polity which they deemed most suitable to promote peace and order in their present circumstances. The government on Rhode Island was also more regu- larly organized the same year, and the acts passed show that the settlements there and at Providence were founded on the same principles.
