The sightless babe waved its tiny hands in mute helplessness, while Dona Maria held it closely to her bosom. Carmen's last admonition sang in his ears. He must know—really know—that the babe could see! He must know that God was omnipotent! His appeal to the people was not for himself. He cared not what became of him. But Carmen—and ...

He seems to have shared some of the opinions of Anne Hutchinson, though he "pronounced the sentence of admonition" against her, says Winthrop, with much zeal and detestation of her errors. Hawthorne, in one of his ironic moods, might have done justice to this scene. Cotton was at heart too liberal for his role of Primate, and fate led him to persecute ...
