An earlier date, or an antedate, would be a falsehood and a fraud. If It were intended to give the patent a retro-active operation, or to grant a title prior to its date, that must be expressed In the body of the Instrument, but not In such a way as to falsify the execution of the instrument. Now, the date inserted In the ISTarraganset Patent Is the 10th of December, 1643. That day was Sunday, — a day. In those times, held so sacred, and kept with such strict and reverential observance, that on... it no Parliamentary Board would venture to assemble for secular business, however earnestly they might have been importuned by our reverend agents, Thomas Welde and Hugh Peters, to break the Sabbath. The patent, there- fore, bears on its face a falsity, which, while it shows conclu- slvel}/ of Itself, Independently of all other proof, that this instrument never passed the table, also debars it from all those favorable considerations, which, by law and usage, are justly extended, prima facie^ to instruments in general.
