Partial Transcription
"14 March 1636
Which day appeard personally John Hicke of parish of St in Southwark Salter and a bachelor aged about 23 years and alledged that he intendeth to marrie Miss Harwood Long Spinster aged about 21 years the daughter of William Long Husbandman who giveth his consent to this intended marriage … license to be married in the parish church of St ffaith London.
John Hickes"
That her father gave permission is probably a lie as is her age. She stated in a RI court that after her father's death, that "I was upon the death of my father sent to London by my mother in much sorrow and griefe of spiritt, and there taken by on John Hicks unknowne to any of my friends, and by the said Hicks privately married in the under Church of Paules, called St. Faith's Church, and in a little while after, to my great griefe, brought to New England, when I was between thirteene and fourteene years of age." If her father is the Robert Long as is sometimes alleged, who emigrated in 1635 (Great Migration, Vol. 4) to Massachusetts, then he could not have given his permission. The only signature on the original is that of John Hicks.
Given the circumstances of the marriage intentions where she was underaged, the testimony in Rhode Island is most likely the more reliable. Her father likely died before 1637 and was not the Robert Long who emigrated to New England.

COMMENTS BY THE EDITOR:
At the time of the decease of Mrs. Robinson, July 7, 1906, her "Genealogy of the Gardiner Family," comprising the labor of years, had been substantially completed. Without doubt, however, had her life been prolonged, she would, from time to time, through further research and by means of opportune discoveries, have made valuable additions to the work.
Nor can it be questioned that she regarded the result of her patient toil rather as an honest contribution to a recognized intricate problem, to be farther elucidated by the study of others, than as a final and complete treatment of the subject. No one more readily than the Author herself would have acknowledged that there are in the book, from the very nature of the case, where information is largely gathered from unwritten family tradition, considerable matter of a tentative and even conjectural character, and probably a few assignments of individuals to groups, to be ultimately found inaccurate.
But in view of the great mass of invaluable material collected by the Author, the loss of which, if left unpublished, would prove irreparable, it has been judged expedient to print the manuscript as Mrs. Robinson left it, with only such corrections of mere clerical errors as she would herself have made, had she been spared to put it through the press.
Wherever she has apparently come to a deliberate decision, even if the Editor has reluctantly found reason to question its accuracy, he has permitted it to stand, relegating to Notes, towards the end of the book, the grounds of his dissent and such further light upon the question as may have come to his knowledge.C
Beyond the point of a faithful rendering of the manuscript, he does not assume responsibility for the correctness of the body of the work.
The Editor gratefully expresses his appreciation of very valuable and extensive assistance supplied by Mrs. Louise Prosser Bates, of Oaklawn, Rhode Island, Mrs. W. H. Birckhead, of New York, and Mrs. H. F. Hunt, of Kingston, Rhode Island, the latter having also very courteously contributed the likeness of Doctor Sylvester Gardiner, inserted opposite the Title-page.

Secondary source. Compiled genealogical interpretation.
Miller and Stanton claim (page 23) George Gardiner of Newport, RI, was the youngest child of Rev. Michael Gardiner and Margaret Browne. According to Miller and Stanton, this George Gardiner, baptized at Greenford Magna, Middlesex, England on 15 Feb 1599, is the same George Gardiner who married Sara Slaughter at St. James church, Clerkenwell, London, on 29 March 1630.
Miller and Stanton further claim George, son of Rev. Michael (bp. 1599), and Sara Slaughter (md. 1630) were the parents of Benoni Gardiner, born in 1636, died 1731.
Miller and Stanton state that George of Greenford Magna, who married at Clerkenwell, had three brothers and several cousins. About 1637, according to Miller and Stanton, George Gardiner emigrated to New England and is the same George Gardiner who married Herod Long and lived in Newport, RI. No sources are produced linking George Gardiner of Greenford Magna (perhaps the same person who married at Clerkenwell) with George Gardiner of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

From a manuscript in the Rhode Island Historical Society. Author states that "legal papers relating to private cases" were left out of the published transcriptions of the early acts of the General Assembly.
"1643, Dec. 3, Harwood Hicks divorced from John Hicks.

The American Genealogist. New Haven, CT: D. L. Jacobus, 1937-. (Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2009 - .)https://www.americanancestors.org/DB283/i/11853/200/23576592.
In this article, Moriarty responded to claims by Miller and Stanton (1937) that George Gardiner of Newport, RI was 1) born 15 Feb 1599/1600 as the son of Rev. Michael Gardiner of Greenford Magna (Great Greenford), Middlesex, England; 2) George Gardiner who married Sara Slaughter in Clerkenwell, London. In a detailed assessment of the evidence, Moriarty concludes that while George Gardiner of Newport has a similar name, there is no hard evidence connecting him to George Gardiner of Greenford Magna. Name similarity is not enough to justify the identification. Moriarty held that the burden of proof was on those who want to make a connection. See his conclusion on page 200: "...until more evidence, both of a positive and negative nature, is forthcoming, no critical genealogist can accept the identification of George Gardiner, son of the Rev Michael Gardiner, with George Gardiner of Newport, as proved."
