Gorton’s trouble started •in Plymouth Colony when he came to the defense of his wife's servant who had smiled in church. He suf fered successive banishmt nts from Plymouth, Newport, Rhode Island and Boston. A sect which adopted his antinominaism survived him one hundred years, records show. England was stirred ia 1407 when Master William Thorpe, priest, was “examined of heresy” before Thom as Arundel, Archbishop of Canter bury and Lord Chancellor.
