Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ...of them opposed any popish leagues,/'' quoting, along with other texts, the speech of Jehu, the seer, to Jehoshaphat: Shouldst thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? And also from Proverbs: He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. It was answered, however, that Joshua aided the Gibeonitea against the rest of the Canaanites, and that Jehoshaphat assisted the ungodly Jehoram against the Moabites, without any reproach from the prophet Elisha, who was himself present in the expedition. Nor were more worldly reasons wanting. Yinthrop thought it would be good policy to uphold La Tour against D''Aulney, and so to prevent the whole eastern coast from falling under the sole control of a zealous Catholic and active fur trader, who rigidly excluded New England ships from any trade to the eastward, which La Tour promised to allow. This view of the case found favor, also, with the Boston merchants. These arguments prevailed; La Tour waa Ag. allowed to hire at Boston four ships and a pinnace, with eighty men; and, thus re-enforced, he raised the blockade of St. John''s, and pursued D''Aulney to Port Royal, where the Boston men landed and committed some dep-mlations. Aist all these proceedings D''Aulney x.rn-estly protested. Winthrop''s conduct in this affair had not given entiio satisfaction; several of the ministers and magistrates had 1644. rein.ns,trated against it, and, at the next election, En-''. dicott, who looked with very suspicious eyes en the '' idolatrous Froncn, was chosen governor, Winthrop being elected deputy.
