Rev. Mr. Saltonstall. His charge of blasphemy against John 37-50 Rogers. Statements of John Rogers, 2d, regarding this charge and the punishments inflicted upon John Rogers on account of it. John Rogers fined regularly once a month without regard to his innocence or guilt. His nearly four year’s imprisonment at Hartford immediately followed by Mr. Saltonstall’s suit for defamation, by which a subservient jury awarded Mr. Saltonstall the enormous sum of £600 for damages. No admission of fault from the ecclesiastical side. The case for the Rogerenes. John Roger’s own account of his imprisonment upon charge of “blasphemy.” Mr. McEwen avers that the Rogerenes persecuted the Congregationalists and makes no mention of the persecutions of the Rogerenes at the hands of the Congregationalists, which called forth the efforts in their own defense. Appropriate lines from Mother Goose. Mr. Byles apparently as much displeased with the Congregationalists as with the Rogerenes CHAPTER III. Truth and falsehood. Toleration not the word. The most 51-60 calumniated person in the world. “Blessed are ye when men shall persecute and revile you.” John Rogers and his followers would seem entitled to this blessing. Inexcusable misstatements made by Mr. McEwen. Cause of the divorce of John Rogers and Elizabeth Griswold as stated by their son, John Rogers, 2d. A shining exception to the erroneous statements of historians in general, on this subject, shown in a quotation from Saulisbury Family Histories. Singularly absurd statement by Rev. Mr. Saltonstall quoted by Mr. McEwen. Similar statement by Peter Pratt. Reply of John Rogers, 2d, to the same, giving some account of his father’s sufferings on account of his religion. Quotations from Trumbull indicating some of the fines imposed upon the Rogerenes on account of their religious persuasion. Mr. Saltonstall “a great man” according to Bible text as well as by statements of historians CHAPTER IV. Quotation from Peter Pratt’s calumnious work and quotations 61-72 from Reply of John Rogers, 2d, to same, giving account of the forced separation of John Rogers from his first wife, his marriage to Mary Ransford and his forced separation from her. Verses by Peter Pratt. Verses by John Rogers, 2d, in reply to the same. Tribute of Peter Pratt to the character of his half brother, John Rogers, 2d. Tribute to same by Miss Caulkins CHAPTER V.
