Henry of See also:Navarre, and eventually became the steward of the earl of See also:Lincoln's estates, which he managed with See also:great success for many years. Having been converted to See also:Puritanism, he became a strict See also:advocate of its strictest tenets. About 1627 he associated himself with other See also:Lincolnshire gentlemen who in 1629 entered into an agreement to See also:settle in New England provided they were allowed to take the See also:charter with them. This proposal the See also:general See also:court of the See also:Plymouth Company agreed to, and in See also:April 1630 Dudley sailed to See also:America in the same See also:ship with See also:John See also:Winthrop, the newly appointed governor, Dudley himself at the last moment being chosen See also:deputy-governor in See also:place of John See also:Humphrey (or Humfrey), the earl of Lincoln's son-in-See also:law, whose departure was delayed. Dudley was for many years the most influential See also:man in the Massachusetts See also:Bay See also:colony, See also:save Winthrop, with whose policy he was more often opposed than in agreement. He was deputy-governor in 1629-1634, in 1637-1640, in 1646-165o and in 1651--1653, and was governor four times, in 1634, 1640, 1645 and 165o. Soon after his arrival in the colony he settled at See also:Newton (See also:Cambridge); of which he was one of the founders; he was also one of the earliest promoters of the See also:plan for the See also:establishment of Harvard See also:College. Winthrop's decision to make See also:Boston the See also:capital instead of Newton precipitated the first of the many quarrels between the two, Dudley's sterner and harsher Puritanism, being in strong contrast to Winthrop's more tolerant and liberal views. He was an See also:earnest and persistent See also:heresy-See also:hunter--not only the
See also:Antinomians, but even such a See also:good Puritan as John See also:Cotton, against whom he brought charges, feeling the See also:weight of his stern and remorseless See also:hand. His position he himself best expressed in the following brief See also:verse found among his papers:
" Letmen of See also:God in courts and churches See also:watch
O'er such as do a See also:Toleration See also:hatch,
Lest that See also:ill See also:egg bring forth a See also:Cockatrice
To See also:poison all with heresy and See also:vice."
He died at See also:Roxbury, Massachusetts, on the 31st of See also:July 1653.

king to annul the charter; this was done, and Dudley, by royal See also:appointment, became See also:president of the provisional See also:council. With the See also:advent of the new governor, See also:Sir See also:Edmund See also:Andros, Dudley became a See also:judge of the See also:superior court and See also:censor of the See also:press. Upon the deposition of Andros, Dudley was imprisoned and sent with him to England, but was soon set See also:free.

Returning to England in 1693, he was See also:lieutenant-governor of the Isle of See also:Wight and a member of See also:parliament, and in 1702, after a See also:long intrigue, secured from See also:Queen See also:Anne a See also:commission as governor of Massachusetts, serving until 1715. His See also:administration was marked, particularly in the earlier years, by ceaseless conflict with the general court, from which he demanded a See also:regular fixed See also:salary instead of an a>anual See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

He was accused by the Boston merchants, who petitioned for his removal, of being in See also:league with smugglers and illicit traders, and in 1708 a See also:bitter attack on his administration was published in London, entitled The Deplorable See also:State of New England by See also:reason of a Covetous and Treacherous Governor and Pusillanimous Counsellors.. His See also:character may be best summed up in the words of one of his successors, Thomas See also:Hutchinson, that " he had as many virtues as can consist with so great a thirst for See also:honour and See also:power." He died at Roxbury on the 2nd of April 1720.
