To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
poor Christison exclaim against such " monstrous illegality," that the "Magna Charta was trodden down, and the guar- antees of the colonial charter utterly disregarded." But his cruel sentence was destined never to be executed. In the meantime the General Court had met, and public opposition to the rigorous policy of the magistrates had made itself Digitized by VjOOQ IC 1 8 Policy of the Massachusetts Colonists heard in indignant threats and protests. The contest of will was over. The spirit of... humanity had uttered itself in overpowering tones, and the softening sway of gentle pa- tience, under sufiFering, had, at length, melted the ice of Puritan austerity.
The zealous defenders of the Puritans hasten to affirm that the barbarity of the law was justified on the ground that Quaker doctrines seemed subversive to all established order.
But the same argument is equally applicable to the case of the Moors in Spain and the Huguenots in France. " The fears of one class of men are not the measure of the rights of an- other." And the Puritan founders, by ignoring the fact that it was the conscience of the Quakers which moved them to question the righteousness of the law, and by charging it solely to their obduracy, claim, in effect, that there could be no conscientiousness except within their own hearts.
