The government might now appear to be firmly established; the inhabitants at length became reconciled to it, and the conflict of patents and titles was no more. But another revolution awaited them. James II. succeeded to the throne of England 1685 ; in April of that year he was publicly proclaimed at York in this Province. The old scheme of a general government for the colonies was soon after revived; the charter of Mass. was recalled, and a President appointed for all New England . Joseph Dudley, Esq. received the commission of President early in 1686 . A council was appointed at the same time, composed of seventeen gentlemen, resident in different parts of N. England ; among whom was F. Champernoon, Esq. of Kittery , who had been of the Council of Gorges in 1640 . Under this administration, Danforth was removed from his office, and a court composed of William Stoughton , Judge, John Usher and Edward Tyng, Esquires , Councillors, with a justice from each town, sat at York in October of the same year. President Dudley was superseded by Sir Edmund Andros before the close of 1686 , whose arbitrary government lasted about two years, terminating with the reign of his master.
