d Lane, separating the house-lots from the yards in the rear, extended across the College enclosure, from the Common to the Old Field, at the distance of about a hundred feet from Harvard Street, having an outlet into Harvard Street about a hundred feet easterly from the present Holyoke Street; this, like that into which it entered, was called Field Lane. Cow-yard Lane and Field Lane north of Harvard Street were discontinued and enclosed with the adjoining lands immediately after Mr. Hooker's company removed. The foregoing are all the highways of which I find any trace in the present bounds of Cambridge, prior to 1636. On the south side of the river, however, a highway was early established, called the highway to Roxbury, from a point opposite to the College Wharf, in the general direction of the road from Cambridge Great Bridge, through the easterly portion of Brighton to Brookline. Frequent reference is also made, in the early records, to the highway from Watertown to Roxbury.

record is mutilated somewhat, and the words supposed to have been worn off are here inserted in brackets:— An agreement made by a general consent, for a monthly meeting. Imprimis, That every person undersubscribed shall [meet] every first Monday in every month, within [the] meeting house, in the afternoon, within half [an hour] after the ringing of the bell; It is observable that the hour of meeting was thus early announced by the ringing of the bell. Johnson represents that, in 1636, a drum was used, because the town had as yet no bell to call men to meeting. —Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc., XIV. 18. It seems unlikely that Mr. Hooker's company transported their bell, across the wilderness, to Connecticut, and the story perhaps was inaccurately reported to Johnson. The day of meeting was changed to the second Monday in the month, Oct. 1, 1639, because it was ordered by the General Court, to prevent the hindrance of the military company upon the first Monday in the month, that

It has already been mentioned in the preceding chapter, that Mr. Hooker and a large proportion of his church removed from New Town in 1635 and 1636; and that Mr. Shepard with another company purchased their houses and lands. Among the reasons which swayed him to come to New England, Mr. Shepard says in his Autobiography, Divers people in Old England of my dear friends desired me to go to New Life of Shepard, edition of 1832, pp. 42-58. Besides those who are here named by Mr. Shepard, another Mr. Cooke and William French came in the same ship (The Defence) with him; and the larger portion of those whose names first appear in 1635 and 1636 may safely be regarded as members of his company, to wit:— 1635.

Mr. Vane was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 1636, and was an active associate of Mrs. Hutchinson in the Antinomian party. Chiefly, it would seem, on account of his religious opinions, he was superseded in 1637, ed to Hartford in 1637, and Roger Harlakenden, who died November 17, 1638, aged 27 years. The former had been Assistant, 1634; Governor, 1635; and Assistant again, 1636, and remained in office up to the time of his removal in the spring of 1637;—the latter was elected Assistant in 1636, at the first election after his arrival, and1636, at the first election after his arrival, and reelected in 1637 and 1638. One was colonel, and the other lieutenant-colonel, of the military force. Both were conspicuous for moral excellence and mental ability, and each bore a large share of the pecuniary burdens of the public. The death of Mr. Harlakenden was peculiarly grievous to Mr. Shepard, who had been protected by h

But in the beginning it was not so. For a few years after the settlement of New England by the Puritans, the churches had rest; but in 1636, the country was miserably distracted by a storm of Antinomian and Famalistical opinions then raised. Mather's Magnalia, Book III., ch. v., § 12. So violent became the controversy, and so great was the apparent danger of civil strife, that many of the heretical party, in Boston, Salem, Newbury, Roxbury, Ipswich, and Charlestown, were disarmed.
