The Assembly 13 being thus organized, and the initiatory steps taken to secure its permanence and authority, "It was agreed that all should set their hands to an engagement to the charter. " The origin and character of this charter are deserving of more careful attention than we can now bestow. The position in which the four Rhode Island colonies were placed in reference to each other and to the more powerful, and at that time hos- tile colonies around them, demanded that some means should be t...aken to increase their efiiciency at home and their respec- tability abroad. They were settled at different times. Pro- vidence in the spring of 163G. Portsmouth in the spring of 1638. Newport in the following spring, and Warwick in the winter of 1642 — 3. Although the same causes led to these settlements they were independent of each other in every re- spect, managing their affairs in their own town meetings, and conducting for themselves, as best they could, their dis- putes with the Puritan colonies.
