- Some dissenters felt remorse for leaving their secret congregations. An anguished
Owen Stockton of Colchester wanted to stay but told himself that staying would risk ar-
rest for his worshipers, whom the town authorities would suspect of plotting an uprising
under cover of the plague. After much prayer and scripture reading, his mind was made
up by a passage in Isaiah: “Hide thy selfe for a little moment till ye indignation be past.”
But as he and his wife and children passed through the Essex countryside from conven-
ticle to conventicle, he kept seeing “signs” of God’s displeasure, culminating in the death
of one of his children. Scripture again came to his relief, at least temporarily, with the
passage: “The Lord is all I have; therefore I will wait for him patiently.” See Dr. Willi-
ams’ Library, MS 24. 7 , fols. 17 – 18 , 28 , Owen Stockton papers, and MS 24. 8 , Eleanor
