The people elected Richard Bennett governor; and he was succeeded by two others — Edward Diggs (1655) and Samuel Matthews (1656), the latter appointed by Oliver Cromwell. At his death (1660) the people elected Berkeley, but he refused to serve excepting under a royal commission, and he went to England to congratulate Charles II. on his restoration to the throne. Charles gave Berkeley a commission, and he returned to Virginia to execute his master's will with vigor. He enforced various oppressive laws, for he was less tolerant than when he was younger and politically weaker, and, with the cavaliers arou

Third, those who were trained to evil deeds before their service have returned quite fixed in their evil habits, not improved for the better in any degree. P. Ball, Mayor. Yarmouth. I am of the opinion that their habits are better. They seem to be more industrious, persevering and anxious to obtain something more than their daily wants. Samuel Matthews, Chairman Selectmen. Unfavorable testimony. Bridgewater. That portion of the returned soldiers who at the time of their enlistment were of age to have acquired habits and characters for themselves, apparently returned as moral, upright men as when they entered the service. A portion of them who entered the army young, from sixteen to twenty years of age, have apparently returned more addicted to the use of strong drink and profane language than when they entered the service.
