Plans of greater moment have leaked through stone walls, and revealed their projectors. But, here was no stone wall to hide my purpose.

He wore a black cloak, called a Geneva cloak, and had a black velvet cap, fitting close to his head, as was the fashion of almost all the Puritan clergymen. In their company came Sir Richard Saltonstall, who had been one of the five first projectors of the new colony. He soon returned to his native country.
