[Bradford gives an account of the bickering and recrimination at Southampton, when all parties had arrived.  Pastor Robinson had rather too strenuously given instructions, which it now began to be seen were not altogether wise.  Cushman was very much censured, and there was evidently some acrimony.  See Cushman’s Dartmouth letter of August 17 to Edward Southworth, Bradford’s Historie, Mass. ed. p. 86.]
