SECT. 8.
IT Would require a long Summers-Day to Relate the miseries which were come, and coming in upon poor New-England, by reason of the Arbitrary Government then Imposed on them; A Government wherein, as Old Wendover says of the Time, when Strangers were domineering over Subjects in England, Judicia committebantur Injustis, Leges Exlegibus, Pax Discordantibus, Justitia Injuriosis; and Foxes were made the Administrators of Justice to the Poultry; yet some Abridgement of them is necessary for the better understanding of the Matters yet before us. Now, to make this Abridgement Impartial, I shall only have Recourse unto a Little Book, Printed at London, under the Title of The Revolution of New-England Justified; wherein we have a Narrative of the Grievances under the Male Administrations of that Government, written and signed by the chief Gentlemen of the Governor's Council; together with the Sworn Testimonies of many Good men, to prove the Several Articles of the Declaration, which the New-Englanders published against their Oppressors. It is in that Book demonstrated.
