Question 14 (1 point) The following diary entry was written on April 13, 1645.
Mr. Hopkins, the governor of Hartford upon Connecticut, came to Boston, and brought his wife with him, (a
godly young woman, and of special parts) who was fallen into a sad infirmity, the loss of her understanding
and reason, which had been growing on her diverse years, by occasion of her giving herself wholly to
reading and writing, and had written many books. Her husband, being very loving and tender of her, was
loath to grieve her; but he saw his error, when it was too late. For if she had attended to her household
affairs, and such things as belong to women, and not gone out of her way and calling to meddle in such
things as are proper for men, whose minds are stronger, etc., she had kept her wits, and might have
improved them usefully and honorably. He brought her to Boston, and left her with her brother, one Mr.
Yale, a merchant, to try what means might be had here for her. But no help could be had.
