against His Majesty’s loyal subjects, never contriving, requiring,
or appointing any due or proper means of satisfaction for their
many invasions, robberies, and murders committed upon us.”
Governor Berkeley
“I have lived thirty-four years amongst you [Virginians], as
uncorrupt and diligent as ever [a] Governor was, Bacon is a man
of two years amongst you, his person and qualities unknown to
most of you, and to all men else, by any virtuous act that ever I
hear of…I will take counsel of wiser men than myself, but Mr.
Bacon has none about him but the lowest of the people.”
