" I was persecuted" he writes in the land of my father's sepulchres, for not bowing at the name of Jesus, and observing other ceremonies in religion ,forced upon me, at the instance of Bishop Wren, of Norwich, and his chancellor Dr. Corbet, whose violent measures troubled me in the Bishop's Court, and returened me into the High Commissioner's Court. Suffering many times for the cause of religion, I was forrced, for the sake of liberty of my conscience, to flee from my wife and children, to go into New-Eng; taking ship for voyage at London, the 17th of Sept. 1636; being by tempests tossed up and down the seas till Christmas following, then veering about to Plymouth in Old -Eng in which time I met with many sore affliction.
