[2] Rev. Edw. D. Neill, to whom I am indebted for valuable references, was the first to attempt any kind of a defence of Ingle, but Dr. Wm. Hand Browne, who also has greatly aided me, has omitted the pirate and rebel clause in the history which he is preparing for the Commonwealth Series.

[4] Winthrop’s History of New England, Vol. II., p. 75. Winthrop gave another spelling, “Jugle,” no doubt obtained from the signature, as has been done with the name more than once in modern times. In a bill sent to the grand jury at St. Mary’s, Maryland, February 1st, 1643/4, it was stated that Ingle’s ship in 1642 was the “Reformation.” The bill was, however, returned “Ignoramus,” and the use of the name was probably anachronous.
