...Newport agree to re-unite peacefully on March 12, 1640, a year after the attack.
Coddington is to be governor and William Hutchinson is chosen as one of his assistants.
The towns are to remain autonomous with laws made by the citizens.
Soon after, Anne Hutchinson comes to a new result of her philosophy.
She persuades her husband to resign from his position, as Roger Williams put it, "because of the opinion, which she had newly taken up, of the unlawfulness of magistry."
Anne Hutchinson has been led by her conscience and by meditation on the Scripture and logic to the conclusion of individualist anarchism.
