  Profiles of Governors: John Treworgie, 1653-1660
As governor, Treworgie was instructed to oversee the fishermen and the planters, to tax aliens, to erect fortifications and to welcome any other complaints against Kirke.
Although Treworgie was able to stimulate trade and the fishery as well as supervise the planters and the migratory fishermen, he and two other commissioners were arrested, in 1654, for taking possession of David Kirke's property.
Treworgie maintained that Kirke's possessions had been returned to his wife, but was nonetheless found guilty in a first trial; however, Oliver Cromwell requested a second trial, which in all likelihood cleared Treworgie's name, for he continued to serve as governor until 1660.

 Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
Treworgie was prevented from carrying out these duties when he, together with Sikes and Pyle, was arrested by James Kirke because of their seizure of Sir David Kirke’s estates.
Treworgie appears to have continued as governor of the island until 1659 or 1660.
Treworgie’s petition was referred to the secretary for foreign plantations but, with the Restoration, the controversy between Lord Baltimore [see Calvert] and the Kirkes over the proprietary right to the island was reopened and, for a time, direct governmental control lapsed.

 John Treworgie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treworgie had worked as an agent at a Kittery, Maine trading post from 1635 to 1650.
In 1651 he was named as one of a party of six sent to Newfoundland to arrest Sir David Kirke who had been accused of withholding taxes collected on behalf of the crown and otherwise violating the royal charter which granted him the governorship of Newfoundland.
In 1660, he asked for another term as governor but the legal conflict between Cæcilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore and the Kirke family over ownership of Newfoundland complicated matters and it's unlikely Treworgie ever returned to the island.

While Stourton's theological education at St. John's College, Cambridge, could indeed have exposed him to Puritan thought, as it did for his fellow student at the college, Sir Simonds D'Ewes, the hay-day of Puritanism at Cambridge was waning and the reaction gathering momentum until it reached a peak during Laud's term as Archbishop.
The preaching of these two women in St. John's was successful enough to convert "2 or 3 masters of ships" and initiate counter measures by the rest, including the invitation to Blinman to come to St. John's, which according to his letter to Winthrop he was prepared to do.
