Browne) Winthrop. In See also:December 1602 he matriculated at Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge, but he did not See also:graduate. The years after his brief course at the university were devoted to the practice of See also:law, in which he achieved considerable success, being appointed, about 1623, an See also:attorney in the See also:Court of Wards and Liveries, and also being engaged in the drafting of See also:parliamentary bills. Though his See also:residence was at Groton Manor, much of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time was spent in See also:London. Mean-while he passed through the deep spiritual experiences characteristic of See also:Puritanism, and made wide acquaintance among the leaders of the Puritan party. On the 26th of See also:August 1629 he joined in the " Cambridge Agreement," by which he, and his associates, pledged themselves to remove to New See also:England, provided the See also:government and patent of the Massachusetts See also:colony should be removed thither. On the 2oth of See also:October following he was chosen governor of the " Governor and See also:Company of the Massachusetts See also:Bay in New England," and sailed in the " Arbella " in See also:March 163o, reaching See also:Salem (See also:Mass.) on the 12th of See also:June (O,S.), accompanied by a large party of Puritan immigrants. After a brief sojourn in See also:Charlestown, Winthrop and many of his immediate associates settled in See also:Boston in the autumn of 1630. He shared in the formation of a See also:- CHURCH

church at Charlestown (afterwards the First Church in Boston) on the 3oth of See also:July 163o, of which he was thenceforth a member. At Boston he erected a large See also:house, and there he lived till his See also:death on the 26th of March (O.S.) 1649.
Winthrop's See also:history in New England was very largely that of the Massachusetts colony, of which he was twelve times chosen governor by See also:annual See also:election, serving in 1629-1634, 1637-1640, in 1642-1644, and in 1646-1649, and dying in See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. To the service of the colony he gave not merely unwearied devotion; but in its interests consumed strength and See also:fortune. His own See also:temper of mind was conservative and somewhat aristocratic, but he guided See also:political development, often under circumstances of See also:great difficulty, with singular fairness and conspicuous magnanimity. In 1634-1635 he was a leader in putting the colony in a See also:state of See also:defence against possible See also:coercion by the See also:English government. He opposed the See also:majority of his See also:fellow-townsmen in the so-called " Antinomian controversy " of 1636-1637, taking a strongly conservative attitude towards the questions in dispute. He was the first See also:president of the Commissioners of the See also:United Colonies of New England, organized in 1643. He defended Massachusetts against threatened parliamentary interference once more in 1645-1646. That the colony success-fully weathered its See also:early perils was due more to Winthrop's skill and See also:wisdom than to the services of any other of its citizens.
Winthrop was four times married. His first wife, to whom he was united on the 16th of See also:April 16o5, was See also:Mary Forth, daughter of John Forth, of Great Stambridge, See also:Essex. She See also:bore him six See also:children, of whom the eldest was John Winthrop, Jr. (q.v.). She was buried in Groton on the 26th of June 1615.
