Wiggin's designs, and with such vigor did they cany on the contest, that those designs were for a time baffled; and by a sort of petty revolution Wiggiu was deposed from his office as Governor, to which he had been appointed by the proprietors of the Patent, and the people set up an independent government among themselves, under the name of a Combination. In that year, 1637, George Bur- det, a staunch churchman, succeeded Wiggin as Governor. In 1638, that inconsistent, unstable character, Capt.... John Underbill, having been disfranchised, brought under admonition and banished from Massachusetts, came to Dover and was chosen Governor over the Combination, upon the understanding, no doubt, that his principles were hostile to the Bay. After Capt. Underhill had held his office about three years, however, his principles or interests in that matter underwent a change. Although a new Combination was drawn up, dated Oct. , 1640, and was signed by Underhill himself, the people soon discovered that he was plotting, after all, to bring the Piscat- aqua under the Mass.
