For the Gorton controversy the best original authorities are his own book entitled _Simplicitie's Defence against Sevenheaded Polity_, London, 1646; and Winslow's answer entitled _Hypocracie Unmasked_, London, 1646. See also Mackie's _Life of Samuel Gorton_, Boston, 1845, and Brayton's _Defence of Samuel Gorton_, in Rider's _Tracts_, No. xvii. For the early history of the Quakers, see Robert Barclay's _Inner Life of the Religious Societies of the Commonwealth_, London, 1876,--an admirable book. See also _New England a Degenerate Plant_, 1659; Bishop's _New England judged by the Spirit of the Lord_, 1661; Sewel's _History of the Quakers_, 1722; Besse's _Sufferings of the Quakers_, 1753; _The Popish Inquisition newly erected in New England_, London, 1659; _The Secret Works of a Cruel People made Manifest_, 1659; and the pamphlet of the martyrs Stevenson and Robinson, entitled _A Call from Death to Life_, 1660. John Norton's view of the case was presented in his book, _The Heart of New England Rent at the Blasphemies of the Present Generation_, London, 1660. See also J.S. Pike's _New Puritan_, New York, 1879; Hallowell's _Pioneer Quakers_, Boston, 1887; and his _Quaker Invasion of Massachusetts_, Boston, 1883; Brooks Adams, _The Emancipation of Massachusetts_, Boston, 1887; Ellis, _The Puritan Age and Rule_, Boston, 1888. Some additional light upon the theocratic idea may be found in a treatise by the apostle Eliot, _The Christian Commonwealth; or, the Civil Polity of the Rising Kingdom of Jesus Christ_, London, 1659. An account of Eliot's missionary work is given in _The Day breaking, if not the Sun rising, of the Gospel with the Indians in New England_, London, 1647; and _The Glorious Progress of the Gospel amongst the Indians in New England_, 1649. See also Shepard's _Clear Sunshine of the Gospel breaking forth upon the Indians_, 1648; and Whitfield's _Light appearing more and more towards the Perfect Day_, 1651. The principal authority for Philip's war is Hubbard's _Present State of New England, being a Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians_, 1677. Church's _Entertaining Passages relating to Philip's War_, published in 1716, and republished in 1865, with notes by Mr. Dexter, is a charming book. See also Mrs. Rowlandson's _True History_, Cambridge, Mass., 1682; Mather's _Brief History of the War_, 1676; Drake's _Old Indian Chronicle_, Boston, 1836; Gookin's _Historical Collections of the Indians in New England_, 1674; and _Account of the Doings and Sufferings of the Christian Indians_, in _Archchaeologia Americana_, vol. ii. Batten's _Journal_ is the diary of a citizen of Boston, sent to England, and it now in MS. among the _Colonial Papers_. Mrs. Mary Pray's letter (Oct. 20, 1675) is in _Mass. Hist. Coll._, 5th series, vol. i. p. 105.
