[before the court]
What went we out into this wilderness to find? Leaving our country, kindred, our fathers' houses? We have travailed a vast ocean. For what? For what?
We must ask thee to be silent!
Was it not for the pure and faithful dispensation of the Gospels, and the Kingdom of God?
No more! We are your judges, and not you ours!
I cannot be judged by false Christians, for I have done nothing, save preach Christ's true Gospel.
Must you continue to dishonor the laws of the commonwealth and the church with your prideful conceit?
If my conscience sees it fit.
Then shall you be banished out of this plantations liberties!
I would be glad of it.
Then take your leave, and trouble us no further.
How sadly hath The Lord testified against you. [turning to leave] Katherine...
