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
