Two sympathizing friends came up to the bleeding victim of bigotry and intolerance, and, shaking hands with him, said, Blessed be God. They were arrested for contempt of authority, fined 40s. each, and imprisoned. Holmes returned to Newport, and lived to old age. Not long afterwards Sir Richard Saltonstall, one of the founders of the Massachusetts colony, wrote from England to Cotton and Wilson, ministers in Boston, saying: It doth not a little grieve my spirit to hear what sad things are reported daily of your tyranny and persecution in New England, as that you fine, whip, and imprison men for their consciences.

At the request of the General Court, the Rev. John cotton (q. v.) drew up the first code of laws of Massachusetts. They were taken entirely from the Old Testament. It was found that they were not adapted to a state of society so different from that of the Hebrews in the time of Moses, and Rev. Nathaniel Ward, who was familiar with the Roman as well as the Jewish laws, drew up a code which was substituted for Cotton's in 1641. The first article of this code provided that the rights of person and property vested in the citizen should be inviolate, except by express law, or, in default of that, by the Word of God.
