ied. He immediately came under Mr. Culverwell's ministry, to which, in a confession of his youthful sinfulness made in after life, he ascribes his conversion to Christianity; of which he says, The ministry of the word came home to my heart with power. . . . I could no longer dally with religion. . . . I had an unsatiable thirst after the word of God; and could not miss a good sermon, especially of such as did search deep into the conscience. In June, 1615, his wife Mary died, and on December 6, 1615, he married his second wife, Thomasine Clopton, who lived but a year after her marriage. Winthrop speaks of her as a woman wise, modest, loving & patient of injuries . . . & truly religious. In 1618 he married his third wife, Margaret Tindall. Two letters from him to this lady before their marriage, are models of commingled piety and affection for his future wife, and are very quaint and curious. His third wife died in June, 1647, and in December he married his fourth wife, widow

lled this boat the Blessing of the Bay. A few years since, old timbers were found beneath the flats, which are supposed to have been the ways over which this vessel was launched. This ship was the first war vessel of the colony, doing valiant service against pirates in after years. Winthrop was succeeded by Thomas Dudley as governor in 1634, but was made deputy-governor in 1636, under Sir Henry Vane, and governor again in 1637, holding until 1640; again reelected in 1643, and yet again in 1646, retaining the office until his death in 1649. He ruled with great discretion and firmness, with a clear judgment, and commendable fairness in the settlement of the various troublesome matters which came before him, among which were religious controversies, as well as civil dissensions. One of these was the misunderstanding between him and Deputy-Governor Dudley in many of the affairs of the colony. But these public troubles were not the only ones that Winthrop suffered; added to the dea

whose name was Luxford, in his letters to Winthrop, constantly reassured the governor of his faithfulness, and disclaimed the peculations with which rumor charged him, but was finally brought to trial, convicted of fraud, and also bigamy, and was imprisoned and his ears cut off. The unfaithfulness of Luxford caused Winthrop to revoke certain testaments in his will, in which document he says that, through his servants, his debts are £ 2,600, whereof he did not know of more than £ 300. In 1645 one of his worst misfortunes in public life befell him; this was his accusation and trial for an invasion of the rights of the people in quelling mutinous practices in Hingham, from which charge, however, he was finally acquitted. His address to the general court after acquittal is certainly worthy of repetition here. He said: I shall not now speak anything about the past proceedings of court, or the persons therein concerned. . . . I am well satisfied that I was publickly accused,
