he was chosen Assistant, and remained in that office till the coming
in of the Andros government in 1686. He was proscribed by Sir
Edmund's officer, Randolph, as one of the "factious." He was ar-
rested on the general complaint of being " evil disposed and seditious,"

for his good behavior, was committed to Boston jail, where he was
kept many months till his age and increasing infirmities forced a reluctant

the new charter of William and Mary in 1691, he was made one of
the Council. He died May 15, 1696, leaving an honored name
which his posterity have continued in honor to the present day.
