What it is

The trial transcripts of a Boston woman who held meetings to discuss sermons, claimed direct revelation, and was banished from Massachusetts while pregnant.

Why it lasted

The founding crisis of New England Puritanism over grace, works, and whether a woman might teach — recorded largely in her own defiant words.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
