Mrs. H.: What breach of law is that, Sir?


Gov.: Why dishonouring the commonwealth.


Mrs. H.: But put the case, Sir, that I do fear the Lord and my parents. May not I entertain them that fear the Lord because my parents will not give me leave?


Gov.: If they be the fathers of the commonwealth, and they of another religion, if you entertain them then you dishonour your parents and are justly punishable.


Mrs. H.: If I entertain them, as they have dishonoured their parents I do.


Gov.: No but you by countenancing them above others put honor upon them.


Mrs. H.: I may put honor upon them as the children of God and as they do honor the Lord.


Gov.: We do not mean to discourse with those of your sex but only this: you so adhere unto them and do endeavor to set forward this faction and so you do dishonour us.


Mrs. H.: I do acknowledge no such thing. Neither do I think that I ever put any dishonour upon you.


Gov.: Why do you keep such a meeting at your house as you do every week upon a set day?


Mrs. H.: It is lawful for me to do so, as it is all your practices, and can you find a warrant for yourself and condemn me for the same thing? The ground of my taking it up was, when I first came to this land because I did not go to such meetings as those were, it was presently reported that I did not allow of such meetings but held them unlawful and therefore in that regard they said I was proud and did despise all ordinances. Upon that a friend came unto me and told me of it and I to prevent such aspersions took it up, but it was in practice before I came. Therefore I was not the first.


Gov.: ...By what warrant do you continue such a course?


Mrs. H.: I conceive there lies a clear rule in Titus that the elder women should instruct the younger and then I must have a time wherein I must do it
