The pages of this book would not suffice to detail all that Baptists suffered in New England from fines, imprisonment, bloody whippings, and banishment from their homes and possessions. A few cases must indicate all: In 1644, one Painter, a poor man, turned Baptist, and refused to have his child baptized, and when arraigned for it before the Court, told them that it was, in his opinion, an antichristian ordinance. For this he was tied up and whipped. Governor Winthrop declared he was whipped for \u201creproaching \u201creproaching the Lord\u2019s ordinance\u201d (Related in Backus, vol. 1, p. 127).<\/p>\n

John Smith, for gathering a church at Weymouth, \u201ccontrary to the orders,\u201d was\u2019 fined twenty pounds ($100) and committed during pleasure of Court.<\/p>\n

Richard Sylvester, for going with Smith, was disfranchised and fined forty shillings. Ambrose Morton, for calling their covenant a human invention, and that their ministers did dethrone Christ and set up themselves, was fined ten pounds ($50).<\/p>\n

Thomas Makepeace, because of his novel disposition, was informed that we were weary of him unless he reformed.<\/p>\n

John Spur and John Smith were bound in forty pounds to pay twenty pounds the first day of next Court, 1640. Their crime was the avowal \u201cthat only baptism [i.e., a profession of faith] was the door into the visible church\u201d (Backus)
