Editing Nathaniel Eaton (section)

== Religious convictions ==
Eaton left for England around 1652, where he had already been accepted back by the [[Church of England]] and honoured as a parish priest, though obviously he had his scruples, and was said to waver between devotion to his newly found home and that to his former.

In all likelihood, that "back and forthedness" and covering up set up a [[scenario]] of confusion, which seems to have confused every recordkeeper involved. Eaton died in 1674 in [[King's Bench Prison]], where he had been incarcerated for a similar debt: quite probably the same £100 debt from which he had already been given relief. His imprisonment coincided with the [[Stuart Restoration]], and was likely reposted on an old list that [[Charles II of England|King Charles II's]] father had kept concerning those of lingering or questionable indebtedness.<!--{{ref|debt}}--> He was given a burial service on 11 May 1674 at [[St George the Martyr, Southwark]], Surrey, England.<ref>{{cite book|title=London Metropolitan Archives; London, England, Church of England Parish Registers, 1538–1812|date= March 1665 – March 1685|page=P92/GEO/141}}</ref>
