Transcript of the Trial of Anne Hutchinson (1637)
Transcript of the Trial of Anne Hutchinson (1637) Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony in hopes of creating a model of Christian unity and order. However, in the 1630s, the Puritans confronted fundamental disagreements over theology. Anne Hutchinson arrived in Boston in 1634 and was a follower of John Cotton, who preached that salvation was achieved by faith alone, not by good works. Such ideas threatened the authority of Massachusetts’ ministers and magistrates. When Hutchinson began to hold meetings to discuss her theological views with other women and with men, Puritan magistrates charged her with heresy. This document is the transcript of her 1637 trial. Gov. John Winthrop: Mrs. Hutchinson, you are called here as one of those that have troubled the peace of the commonwealth and the churches here; you are known to be a woman that hath had a great share in the promoting and divulging of those opinions that are the cause of this trouble, and to be nearly joined not only in affinity and affection with some of those the court had taken notice of and passed censure upon, but you have spoken divers things, as we have been informed, very prejudicial to the honour of the churches and ministers thereof, and you have maintained a meeting and an assembly in your house that hath been condemned by the general assembly as a thing not tolerable nor comely in the sight of God nor fitting for your sex, and notwithstanding that was cried down you have continued the same. Therefore we have thought good to send for you to understand how things are, that if you be in an erroneous way we may reduce you that so you may become a profitable member here among us. -

SECOND EDITION. 5 PREFATORY NOTE This volume, the third of the series of the SEWALL PAPERS, completes the publication from the manuscript diary of Judge Sewall, in the Cabinet of the Society. The most important of his other papers in our possession is a very large volume, much of it closely written, contain- ing his correspondence, with miscellaneous matter. It is intended that the contents of this volume, also, shall be transcribed; but it has not as yet been decided whether the whole of its contents, which would fill at least two volumes of our series, shall be published, or only such a selection of its more important papers as might be gathered into one volume. 6 DIARY OF SAMUEL SEWALL. [Judge Sewall having gone from home to hold court, the following ex- tracts, enclosed between asterisks, are from entries in the small volume which he carried with him, labelled "Magunkaquog," See Vol. II., p. 425.] * May 10. 1714.

Flood Arlene E. Friedberg ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ART COMMISSION Paula M. Korol YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1999 Katherine B. Winter The members of the Massachusetts Art Commission respectfully submit the Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 1999. The Commission is charged under General Laws chapter 6, sections 19 and 20 with the "care and custody of the State House art collection" and thus serves as the curator of the Commonwealth's 200 year-old collection of paintings, sculptures, wall murals and artifacts by some of America's most important artists. The Commission conducts its programs of conservation and preservation of the art collection under an annual appropriation, which it receives through the Bureau of State Office Buildings, as well as its program of public infonnation and assistance CONSERVATION Since its program began in 1985 the Art Commission has required that all conservators working with objects in the State House Art Collection adhere to the Cafe of Ethics and Standanis for Practice of the American Institute for Conservation. This 0xIe ofEthics requires, in part, that all conservation procedures be reversible, and fully documented by both photograph and written report. These practices help insure that future curators and conservators will know what the conditions were, why the objects were treated, and what measures (materials and procedures) were taken to correct these conditions. During FY'99 the Art Commission continued its program of conservation and preservation of the State House Art Collection with the following projects. -

The u sual plan is followed in this Genealogy, of having the descendants numbered consecutively, the star (*) prefixed to the number indicating that the record of this person is carried forward another generation and will be found in the next gen eration under the same number, but in larger type and this time as head of a family.
