Sl?iION JJKADSTREET. 381 The rigorous discipline which the churches and mag- istrates enforced at this period, caused many to be pub- licly arraigned and punished, for offences, which would at this day be deemed trivial and insignificant. To speak evil of rulers, was an offence, and there were nu- merous instances in which this breach of order was pun- ished with severity. Mr. Bradstreet, on occasions of this description, frequently took ground in favor of freedom of speech, and voted, in oppos...ition to the majority of magistrates, against presentments and fines "for words spoken in contempt of government. " In the same spirit, which was in advance of the age, when the witchcraft delusion overspread the colony, he discountenanced the excesses into which the government was betrayed. Brattle, in his account of this delusion, makes honorable mention of " the few men of understand- ing, judgment and piety, inferior to few if any in New England, that do utterly condemn the proceedings, and do freely deliver their judgment that these methods will utterly ruin and undo poor New England.
