Edit Profile
Career
After moving to Massachusetts, Gould became a successful farmer and wagon maker. Another disagreement took place in the Cambridge church, and anti-pedobaptists began meeting in Gould"s home. In 1665 Gould drew up a statement of faith for a Baptist congregation, which began meeting in secret on Noddle"s Island in Boston harbor.
The congregation was mainly Calvinist in theology and borrowed heavily from earlier Baptist confessions of faith.
Gould was eventually imprisoned by Massachusetts authorities. After his release, the congregation was allowed to meet in Boston.
