Under the date of 15th April, 1634, is the following entry: "These parties, hereafter expressed, are to be transported to New England, imbarked in the Increase, Robert Lea, Master, having taken the oath of allegiance and supremacy, as also being conformable, etc., whereof they brought testimony per certif. from the justices and ministers where their abodes have lately been.
