The Separat- ists and their friends finally out-voted the Old Church in the Town Meetings, and declared that they would no longer pay the minister's rates, as they were conscientiously opposed to the union of Church and State. But, upon a complaint entered, the General Court interfered, arid they were taxed, by a special act, to support Dr. Lord and his society. Refusing to pay the tax they were imprisoned* For this cause, as many as forty per- sons, men and women, were imprisoned in a single y...ear. The letter written by the widow Elizabeth Backus, (mother of Isaac,) relative to her imprisonment, is found in her son's Abridged History, p. 187. It is a most worthy letter : " Norwich, Nov. 4, 1752. "Pear Son: "I have heard something of the trials among you of late, and ' 1 was grieved till I had strength to give up the case to God, ' and leave my burthen there. And now I would tell you some- * thing of our trials. Your brother- Samuel lay in prison twen- ' ty days. October 15 the collector came to our house and took ' me away to prison about nine o'clock, in a dark rainy night* ' Brothers Hill and Sabin were brought there next night.
