To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The chief authority for his conversion is Fuller, in the passage to which I have referred. That account assigns it to the year 1624, when it occasioned, according to the author, his resignation. Now Calvert settled his colony in Newfound- land in 162 1 ; and Oldmixon and others, among whom I find our own historian Bozman,* have ascribed this settlement to his wish to provide an asylum for persecuted Catholics. Al- though I cannot discover any warrant for this statement, ei- ther in the history ...of the times or in what is known of Calvert, yet the assertion of it by Oldmixon and those who have pre- ceded or followed him, demonstrates that they did not credit the story of the conversion as given by Fuller ; for the author of the Worthies of England dates the conversion three years later than the settlement of Avalon, and affirms it to be the motive to Calvert's resignation of a high trust, which, he in- forms us, the Secretary supposed he could not conscientiously hold as a Catholic. If the conversion had taken place so early in the life of George Calvert as to have opened to him the scheme of plan- ning a settlement for his persecuted fellow Catholics in New- foundland, it must have happened before 1621.
