Mistress Hutchison ought to have been convened before this Church-assembly,1 and M. Wheelright and others were convened before a civill court in Massachusset. Octo. 2. 1637. For disturbance of the public peace, where in the month of March, M. Wheelright was convict of sedition: upon occasion whereof, a number of Familists gave in a Petition or Remonstrance complaining that their beloved M. Wheelright was condemned for no fault, whereas his doctrine was no other then the very expressions of the holy ghost himself, though he had said expressly, That Magistrates, Ministers, and most of the people were under a Covenant of works, and therefore were enemies to Christ, such as Herod, Pilate, Scribes and Pharisees, and encouraged the people to rise up against them, as Philistines, and pronounced the curse of Meroz on them who would not join with ⟨p. 178⟩them against the churches of the legallists. And made mention of Moses his killing the Egyptian. Much false doctrine and debates and disputes raised he in the Church there, which were not known before his coming to the Country, where upon he was sentenced to be disfranchised and banished out of their jurisdiction and committed to safe custody till he should find surety to depart before the end of March, upon this he appealed to the Kings Majesty.
