I just saw the story with Barnabas and Tabitha Livingston. They want a divorce of all things! At first, I thought they were just being childish, but the rumor is Mary committed adultery! Her whipping should be soon, but the scarlet red letter on her chest will be worse! This just goes to show how morally weak some women are. Just like Eve in the Bible, and some wonder why women are not permitted to vote. On a happier note, we just founded Harvard College! I’m sending my son Elias there to become a minister. I can’t wait until he’s old enough to come with me to the Congregational Church and vote with his brothers and I! As you know, my family is hardcore Puritan so I disagree with the Half-Way Covenant which allows in those who aren't devoted completely into our congregations. Though I suppose we have to sacrifice some strict rules for greater participation.
