He favoured the settlement of the Church of England; and soon after his installation (December 1st, 1682), he wrote the Committee of Trade and Foreign Plantations, from Portsmouth, regarding his arrival and reception, and remarked that "the attempting to settle the way of the Church of England, I perceive, will be very grievous to the people. " He had observed that they were "very diligent and devout in attending in that mode of worship which they have been brought up in, " and were "very tenac...ious of it. "'^' Realising at length the preponderance of Congregational influence, in subsequent letters he discouraged the introduction of the English Church. Still, he sought to se- cure an entering wedge of Anglican custom in the observance of January 30th, the day of King Charles's execution, and Christ- mas. An order was secured in Council that after the 1st of January, 1684, ministers should admit all persons of suitable years and not vicious to communion, and their children to baptism; also, that "if any person should desire baptism or the other sacrament to be administered according to the liturgy of the Church of England, it should be done in pursuance of the King's command to the colony of Massachusetts; and any minister refusing so to do should suffer the penalty of the statutes of uniformity.
