500 $a"Gorges has been ... blamed for ... appropriating Johnson's 'Wonder-working Providence' [of Sion's Saviour in New England] published by N. Brook in 1654 ... We are now ... enabled to explain this matter and clear Gorges of the imputation ... Johnson's book belonged to Brook, and not being swift of sale, after four years, when publishing Gorges' book, he took upon himself the responsibility of working ... off his dead stock. As soon as Gorges found out this trick of his publisher he inserted in the 'Mercurius Publicus', newspaper of the 13th Sept. 1660, the following: 'Advertisement. I, Ferdinando Gorges, the entituled author of a late book called 'America painted to the life', am injured in that additional part, called 'Sion's Saviour in New England' (as written by Sir Ferdinando Gorges [publisht since his decease, by his grand-child Ferdinando Gorges esquire]) that being none of his, and formerly printed in another name, the true owner'."-Henry Stevens, Stevens's historical collections, 1881, pt. 1, p. 36.
