_Gov._ Daniel was delivered by miracle. Do you think to be delivered so
too?
_Mrs. H._ I do here speak it before the court. I look that the Lord should
deliver me by his providence....
_Dep. Gov._ I desire Mr. Cotton to tell us whether you do approve of Mrs.
Hutchinson's revelations as she hath laid them down.
_Mr. C._ I know not whether I do understand her, but this I say, if she
doth expect a deliverance in a way of providence, then I cannot deny it.
_Gov._ ... I see a marvellous providence of God to bring things to this
pass.... God by a providence hath answered our desires, and made her to
lay open herself and the ground of all these disturbances to be by
revelations. . . .
_Court._ We all consent with you.
_Gov._ Ey, it is the most desperate enthusiasm in the world....
_Mr. Endicott._ I speak in reference to Mr. Cotton.... Whether do you
witness for her or against her.
_Mr. C._ This is that I said, sir, and my answer is plain, that if she
doth look for deliverance from the hand of God by his providence, and the
revelation be ... according to a word [of Scripture] that I cannot deny.
_Mr. Endicott._ You give me satisfaction.
_Dep. Gov._ No, no, he gives me none at all....
_Mr. C._ I pray, sir, give me leave to express myself.
