That's why I don't blame Norway's concernment for their insane medal count.

In New Town a new government was voted in, which claimed authority over "all matters of publicke concernment.". They still paid taxes to Old Town and expected services from it. The board of Old Town contained some members from New Town for fair representation.. This agreement also was known as a "settlement", but not in the sense of occupying land, which was already occupied.

Duncon wrote: # Several Propositions of publick concernment presented to his Excellency the Lord Generall Cromwell, 1651. # Several Proposals offered by a Friend to Peace and Truth to the serious consideration of the keepers of the Liberties of the People of England, 1659. The chief end of these tracts is (besides the recital of the author's sacrifices for the Commonwealth) towards the "settling of peacemakers in every city and county of this nation". These peacemakers were to be the "most understanding plain honest-harted men" that the people of the district could find.

He was a member of the New York State Assembly representing Albany Co., in 1833, 1835 and 1837, and was Speaker in 1837, serving alongside Charles Humphrey. At the conclusion of the session where he was Speaker and which was his last public office, the House presented their thanks to Livingston "for the able, dignified and impartial manner in which he has presided over its deliberations." In response, Livingston replied: > The flattering compliment which you have awarded to my efforts to subserve > the public interests, by unanimously declaring that my conduct as your > presiding officer merits approbation, is the reward for which I have > labored, and its bestowment will ever be cherished by me with grateful > recollections. The time of this session has been engrossed with much > business of a local nature, and with many propositions and laws of a general > character, in the disposition of which, questions of great public > concernment, were involved.

Of Bennett's influence something has already been said; especially, he freed his paper from party control. His power was great, but it came from his genius in gathering and presenting news rather than from editorial discussion, for he had no great moral, social or political ideals, and his influence, always lawless and uncertain, can hardly be regarded as characteristic of the period. Of the others named, and many besides, it could be said with approximate truth that their ideal was "a full presentation and a liberal discussion of all questions of public concernment, from an entirely independent position, and a faithful and impartial exhibition of all movements of interest at home and abroad." As all three were not only upright and independent, but in various measure gifted with the quality of statesmanship at once philosophical and practical, their newspapers were powerful molders of opinion at a critical period in the history of the nation.

Owen and Blakeway, Volume 2, p. 214-5. He pointedly referred to what must have been a solid and growing opposition in his own parish, and at the same time conflated puritanism with opposition to monarchy: :Know, good reader, that this towne of Shrewsbury, the place of my birth and residence is greatly troubled with a sect of men and women, with whom I have had much intercourse of concernment, not by way of intimate familiarity approving their ways, but of vexation and trouble of minde, that I could not, in thirteene yeares painfull ministry among them, reclaime them from their wandring fancies, and reduce them to obedience to Supreme majestie, in the persons of two most illustrious and royal kings.Owen and Blakeway, Volume 2, p. 215, note 1. alt=Portrait of William Laud in clerical garb. Richard More, a puritan member of the congregation refuted Studley's allegations in A true relation of the Murders committed in the Parish of Clunne, but could not obtain a licence to publish it until 1641.
