Excerpt from John Wheelwright: His Writings, Including His Fast-Day Sermon, 1637, and His Mercurius Americanus, 1645; With a Paper Upon the Genuineness of the Indian Deed of 1629
Other gentlemen, converfant with the early affairs of this region, have entertained a different opinion. To fay nothing of Governor William Plumer and Nathaniel Adams, Efq., both of whom controverted the pofitions of Mr. Savage, Samuel ~g. Drake, Efq., always retained full faith in the Wheelwright purchafe, and afferted it repeatedly in his publifhed writings; and the Hon. Chandler E. Potter not only declared, in his Hiftory of Manchefier, N. H., his un hefitating belief that the deed was genuine, but projeéted and nearly completed a detailed reply to the arguments of Mr. Savage upon the fubjeét. It is only proper to fay that the grounds on which Colonel Potter contended for the truthfulnefs of the deed were, in almoft all particulars, effen tially different from thofe here advanced.

The book meticulously traces the events that led to Wheelwrightââ â¢s banishment from the colony, including his famous Fast Day sermon, which was seen as seditious by the authorities.
