About this Quote

Anne Hutchinson's quote is an effective declaration of her strength and courage in the face of adversity. She was a Puritan spiritual dissenter who was put on trial in 1637 for her beliefs. In the quote, she is attending to the court and asserting her innocence. She is saying that she has actually been contacted us to address prior to them, but she has not been told what she is accused of. This reveals her self-confidence in her own beliefs and her refusal to be frightened by her accusers. She is also demonstrating her faith in the justice system, thinking that she will be judged relatively. Her quote is a reminder of the importance of defending what one believes in, even in the face of opposition. It is likewise a tip of the power of the specific to defend their rights and beliefs, no matter the consequences.
