Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Congregational History, 1567-1700: In Relation to Contemporaneous Events, and the Conflict of Freedom, Purity, and Independence
After. The lapse of about ten years, they were followed by a persecuted church known as the Pilgrim Fathers, who, during their sojourn in that foreign land, created a Congregational Literature in exposition and defence of their principles.
After a long disciplinary training, they sailed in 1620 to the New World, and landed at Cape Cod, on a desolate Shore, in the depth of winter. They were honoured of God to lay the foundation of a mighty nation, just at the time when the maritime strength of England, the wisdom of her statesmen, the royal patronage, with the wealth of the merchant adventurers, had hopelessly failed to plant a single colony in the Western Hemisphere.
