Opis

Excerpt from Historical Discourse on the Life, Deeds and Character of Sir Mathew Cradock During the latter part of the reign of James 1st, and the beginning of that of Charles 1st, (while Strafford and Laud had the control of affairs in England) events transpired, which ultimately resulted in the permanent planting of the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay. The arrival of the Mayflower is an epoch in history, and especially in the history of this continent. So also may the transfer of the government of Massachusetts from London, with its charter, under John Winthrop, be regarded as another epoch in American History. Both events are and ever will be memorable. The Rock of Plymouth has alike inspired the pen of history and tongue of the orator. The 101 persons, who landed at Plymouth, seeking, under Brewster, an asylum in the wilderness, where they could escape from the persecution consequent upon the reformation, and worship God freely, suffered as only martyrs for opinions' sake and the freedom of conscience can suffer. The Plymouth Landing preceded in time if not in importance the transfer of the charter of King Charles 1st; which last, as an historical event, has become conspicuous above most others, as it has led naturally to the erection in America of an Independent Republican Government. A survey of the circumstances attending this act, and the particular instruments by which it was brought about, cannot fail to be of interest, if dealt with in a manner befitting their intrinsic importance. Religious intolerance had driven Rev. John Robinson and his followers into exile from England, first to Holland and afterward a portion of them to America.
