1631 Rev. John
Lathrop arrested at the First Independent Church in London, England:
"Their
private sanctuary, a room in the house of Mr. Humphrey Barnet, a brewer's clerk
in Black Friars, is suddenly invaded.
Tomlinson and his ruffian band, with a show of power above their
resistance, seize forty-two of their number, allowing only eighteen of them to
escape, and make that 22d day of April, 1632, forever memorable to those
suffering Christians, by handing them over in fetters to the executioners of a law which was made for godly men to break. In the old Clink prison, in Newgate, and in the Gatehouse, all made for felons, these men, `of whom the world was not worthy,' lingered for months. In the spring of 1634, all but Mr. Lothropp were released on bail. He, their leader, the chief offender, was deemed too dangerous to be set at liberty. Like the gifted Hooker, it was felt that his words and his example had `already more impeached the peace of our Church,' than the church could bear. `His genius will still haunte all the pulpits in ye country, when any of his scolers [sic] may be admitted to preach.'

And
so his prison doors swung to again and seemed to leave him no hope of release
or escape."
