The Pilgrims had a difficult first winter in Plymouth, with over half of the original 100+ people dying from disease and lack of shelter. Only 6-7 healthy people were able to care for the sick. William Brewster and Miles Standish helped many who were weak and ill. Despite the hardship, the Pilgrims held a harvest feast to celebrate their survival and the help of the Native Americans like Squanto. They invited Massasoit and 90 of his men to share in the three-day feast, establishing the tradition of Thanksgiving.

1) Susi and Chuma, along with other devoted attendants of missionary David Livingstone, discovered him dead on his knees in a grass hut in Africa.
2) Facing immense challenges with no help, the attendants courageously decided to carry Livingstone's preserved body over 1500 miles through difficult terrain and tribes to the coast of Zanzibar in order to return him to his homeland.
3) Through their heroic act of loyalty and care for their master, the attendants demonstrated the power of Christianity to unite people across boundaries of race and culture.
William Bradford describes the religious persecution faced by separatist Protestants in England that led them to flee to Holland in the early 1600s. After living in Holland for over a decade, they decided to relocate again due to several factors, including the difficulty of living conditions, the toll of aging and labor on their community, and concerns about their children being negatively influenced. They resolved to establish a settlement in America, despite facing many objections and dangers, with the goal of propagating the gospel. After months of preparation, they departed from Delfshaven, Holland in the summer of 1620 to begin their voyage to America aboard the Mayflower.
The document discusses the meaning of the word "peace" in various religious scriptures including the Quran, Bible, and Latin. It explains that in Semitic languages like Hebrew, the word for peace comes from a root meaning "whole" or "uninjured." In Latin and medieval languages, it came to also mean "to pay" or "paying" from the idea of making sacrifices or offerings to appease God. The document analyzes original meanings and how concepts of peace in religious texts extended from ideas of wholeness, soundness, appeasement through sacrifice or offerings, and making amends through payment.
A verse by verse commentary on 1 SAMUEL 7 dealing with Samuel subduing the Philistines at MIZPAH, and the people giving up their idols and returning to the Lord.
The document contains lyrics praising God's greatness and sovereignty. It discusses how God wraps himself in light and darkness trembles before him. God is described as ageless, in control of time, and comprised of the Father, Spirit and Son. The lyrics express taking refuge under God's wings during times of trouble. The second part discusses Ezekiel's prophecy about God's love for Jerusalem despite her unfaithfulness, and Cyrus freeing the exiles to return and rebuild Jerusalem according to prophecy.

This document is the introduction to the King James Version of the Holy Bible. It begins by praising King James I for continuing the preaching of God's word in England and ensuring the Bible remains available to the people. It then explains that the King commissioned a new translation of the Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. This translation aims to build on previous translations and produce an even more accurate version of the sacred scriptures in English. The introduction humbly offers this new translation to King James and requests his approval and support, to protect the translation from criticism by those opposed to making God's truth known to ordinary people.

A Poetic Narrative Poem in Celebration of Dr. King and Black HistoryRussell Pierce
With Special Guest
Senator Diaz, who described the work as both epic. and brilliant as performance art, by world-known creative narrative and interpretive artist, Susan Harris
Hiram and the neighbors discuss the strangers who arrived by ship the previous night. Hiram asserts that the strangers, particularly their leader, possess extraordinary wisdom and power. He says they know about the villagers' situation even though they have never met before. The neighbors are skeptical but Hiram insists the strangers can see and hear everything happening in the world, even across infinity, both past and future. The neighbors worry Hiram has been affected by the sun.
It is worthy of our tliought how much
tlie world would lose if the little 23rd
Psalm had never been written. Think what a
ministry this psalm has had these three thousand
years, as it has gone down the world,
singing itself into men's hearts, and breathing
its quiet peace into their spirits. How many
sorrows has it comforted! How many tears has
it dried! IIow many miseries has it lighted
through life's dark valleys! Perhaps no other
single portion of the bible — not even the 14th
of St. John's gospel is read so often.
The document contains lyrics from several Christian hymns and songs focusing on the crucifixion and salvation through Jesus Christ. The hymns praise Jesus for his sacrifice on the cross to redeem sinners, wash away sins, and defeat sin and death. They express wonder at God's love shown through Jesus and commitment to live for him.
GFEC - Does God abandon us when we get it wrong - Psalm 107Adrian Kerr
The document summarizes passages from Psalms 107 and Isaiah 43, focusing on how God delivers those who cry out to him in times of trouble. It describes four groups of people who suffered - some wandered in the desert hungry and thirsty, some sat in darkness and gloom as prisoners, some became fools through rebellion, and others were merchants at sea during a storm. Each group cried out to God and he rescued them from their distress, guiding them to safety and provision. The passages call the readers to give thanks to God for his unfailing love and wonderful deeds towards mankind.
Many look out longingly toward another life, in
which they implicitly believe, yet of which they
can know nothing save in the dimmest, most
shadowy way. Loved ones are taken from them
into that strange land, and they long then more
than ever to know about the country that is the
new home of their friends — its beauty, its joys,
its fellowships, its occupations. The Bible does
not lift the veil, but it gives many glimpses of the
heavenly life. It is the purpose of this little book
to note some of these glimpses.
1) Paul advises the ship's crew that the voyage will be dangerous and result in damage to the ship and loss of life, but the centurion ignores Paul's warning. 2) A powerful storm called Euroclydon arises and drives the ship off course, battling to survive for 14 days. 3) After being blown over 475 miles, they near land at the island of Malta, where all 276 passengers safely reach shore though the ship is destroyed.
A verse by verse commentary on Psalm 81 dealing with Asaph urging the people to sing for joy to the God of strength. He goes back over some history where God warned the people to have no other god, but they would not listen and suffered the consequences.God will restore and bless if they will only listen.
This document contains prayers, readings, and passages for a Catholic mass. It includes prayers to Queen of Peace and Saint Catherine of Alexandria. There is also an entrance antiphon about peace, a first reading from the Book of Daniel about King Belshazzar seeing a mysterious handwriting on the wall during a feast, responses and psalms praising God, a Gospel reading from Luke about persecution for believing in Jesus, and a concluding prayer for care of the earth.
The document discusses the role and responsibilities of a Christian husband and father. It begins by explaining that men will be held accountable by God for how they fulfill their responsibilities as leaders. It then provides several examples from the Bible of areas where men should provide leadership, such as in governance, worship, protection of the family, and as the head of the household. The document emphasizes that husbands and fathers must understand the importance of their role in the family and not neglect their responsibility to lead and care for their wife and children.
This document summarizes a sermon given by T. DeWitt Talmage about Babylon being weighed and found wanting by God. It describes the grandeur and architectural marvels of ancient Babylon, but notes that despite its splendor, Babylon was doomed to fall. The sermon warns that individuals, churches, nations, and the world itself will one day be weighed by God's perfect scales, and anything found lacking in faith, righteousness or fulfilling its purpose will be found wanting. It urges people to accept Christ before it's too late.
Book of Daniel, part 2 (Bible prophesies for the last times series)Anar R Guliyev
The document discusses two groups of God's people that are mentioned in Revelation:
1) The 144,000 who meet Christ alive on Mount Zion and are sealed to be protected from tribulations.
2) The great multitude that comes out of great tribulation, who are resurrected to stand before the throne of God. Both groups ultimately meet together with Christ, with the resurrected rising first followed by those alive being caught up.
The story of Daniel and his friends is presented as a foreshadowing of these two groups, with Daniel representing the 144,000 who remain faithful until the end, and his friends representing the great multitude who face tribulation but are saved.
The poor widow gave all that she had to live on, sacrificing everything, while the rich gave from what they had extra. Though her contribution was small, she gave more because she sacrificed all she had.
The poor widow gave all that she had to live on to the offerings at the temple. Jesus observed her gift and noted that while others gave generously from their surplus, she gave everything she had despite her poverty.

This document is an introduction to a book about Emanuel Swedenborg's teachings on the doctrine of uses. It discusses how while the simple life is important, it is not the ultimate purpose of life. True purpose comes from living a life devoted to serving useful purposes. Swedenborg taught that using one's talents and resources to help others is pleasing to God and leads to happiness. The introduction contrasts this view with those who pursue the simple life solely for selfish reasons or withdrawal from the world. It emphasizes how adopting Swedenborg's perspective on use could profoundly change society by dignifying all labor that benefits humanity.
This document contains a collection of poems and sermons in rhyme on various biblical and spiritual topics. The poems range from 3 to 6 stanzas and address themes like peace, forgiveness, hypocrisy, salvation, heaven, and more. They utilize rhyme and metaphor to convey messages about living according to God's will and finding meaning, hope and comfort in faith.
The document describes the difficult voyage and early settlement of the Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It details their journey on the Mayflower, the hardships they faced including disease and harsh winter conditions that led to the deaths of about half of the original colonists. The document provides an eyewitness account of the Pilgrims' experiences through Governor William Bradford's journal Of Plymouth Plantation.
William Bradford was a Puritan who fled religious persecution in England and traveled to America on the Mayflower in 1620. The voyage was difficult, with many Puritans dying along the way. When they arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts, about half of the original Puritans died that first winter due to sickness and lack of shelter. Bradford became the governor and recorded their experiences, including the hardships of establishing one of the first American colonies. They survived through cooperation and by making peace with the local Wampanoag tribe under the sachem Massasoit.
Lecture on William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantationjcdmce
The Pilgrims were English Separatists who believed the Church of England could not be reformed. They fled religious persecution, first settling in the Netherlands but later deciding to relocate to America for greater freedom. In late 1620, the Mayflower departed England with 102 passengers, arriving in North America in November after a difficult 66-day voyage. The Pilgrims faced extreme hardship in that first brutal winter, with half of their group perishing due to sickness, lack of shelter, and scarcity of food. They were sustained only by the mercy of God and the selfless care of a few remaining strong individuals.

This document summarizes the key events from the beginning of Francis Bacon's work "The New Atlantis." It describes how a group of travelers from Peru sailed north but then faced difficulties with lack of provisions and wind directions. They eventually spotted land which seemed to be an island with a port city. Local people warned them from landing but made contact and communicated that they could stay for 16 days if they had no harmful intentions and needed supplies. The people spoke various languages including Spanish, Greek, and Latin, and displayed a cross as a sign of goodwill.
William Bradford, from History of Plimouth POllieShoresna
William Bradford, from
History of Plimouth Plantation (written between 1630-51)
AFTER they had lived in this city [Leyden, in the Netherlands] about some 11 or 12 years… and sundry of them were taken away by death, and many others began to be well stricken in years…. those prudent governors with sundry of the sagest members began both deeply to apprehend their present dangers, and wisely to foresee the future, and think of timely remedy. In the agitation of their thoughts, and much discourse of things hear about, at length they began to incline to this conclusion, of removal to some other place. Not out of any newfangledness, or other such like giddy humor, by which men are oftentimes transported to their great hurt and danger, but for sundry weighty and solid reasons….
Of all sorrows most heavy to be borne, was that many of their children, by these occasions, and the great licentiousness of youth in that country, and the manifold temptations of the
place, were drawn away by evil examples to extravagant and dangerous courses, getting the reigns off their necks, and departing from their parents. Some became soldiers, others took upon them far voyages by sea, and other some worse courses, tending to dissoluteness and the danger of their souls, to the great grief of their parents and dishonor of God. So that they saw their posterity would be in danger to degenerate and be corrupted.
Lastly, (and which was not least), a great hope and inward zeal they had of laying some good foundation, or at least to make some way thereunto, for the propagating and advancing the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in those remote parts of the world; yea, though they should be but even as stepping-stones unto others for the performing of so great a work. These, and some other like reasons, moved them to undertake this
resolution of their removal….
The place they had thoughts on was some of those vast and unpeopled countries of America, which are fruitful and fit for habitation, being devoid of all civil inhabitants, whether are only salvage and brutish men, which range up and down, little otherwise then the wild beasts of the same….
It was answered, that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and must be both enterprised and overcome with answerable courages. It was granted the dangers were great, but not desperate; the difficulties were many, but not invincible. For though there were many of them likely, yet they were not certain; it might be sundry of the things feared might never befall; others by provident care and the use of good
means, might in a great measure be prevented; and all of them, through the help of God, by fortitude and patience, might either be borne, or overcome… there ends were good and honorable; their calling lawful, and urgent; and therefore they might expect the blessing of God in their proceeding....
Being thus passed the vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before ...

The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro by Frederick Douglass.docxoreo10
The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro by Frederick Douglass
A speech given at Rochester, New York, July 5, 1852
Mr. President, Friends and Fellow Citizens:
He who could address this audience without a quailing sensation, has stronger nerves
than I have. I do not remember ever to have appeared as a speaker before any assembly
more shrinkingly, nor with greater distrust of my ability, than I do this day. A feeling has
crept over me quite unfavorable to the exercise of my limited powers of speech. The task
before me is one which requires much previous thought and study for its proper
performance. I know that apologies of this sort are generally considered flat and
unmeaning. I trust, however, that mine will not be so considered. Should I seem at ease,
my appearance would much misrepresent me. The little experience I have had in
addressing public meetings, in country school houses, avails me nothing on the present
occasion.
The papers and placards say that I am to deliver a Fourth of July Oration. This certainly
sounds large, and out of the common way, for me. It is true that I have often had the
privilege to speak in this beautiful Hall, and to address many who now honor me with
their presence. But neither their familiar faces, nor the perfect gage I think I have of
Corinthian Hall seems to free me from embarrassment.
The fact is, ladies and gentlemen, the distance between this platform and the slave
plantation, from which I escaped, is considerable-and the difficulties to he overcome in
getting from the latter to the former are by no means slight. That I am here to-day is, to
me, a matter of astonishment as well as of gratitude. You will not, therefore, be surprised,
if in what I have to say I evince no elaborate preparation, nor grace my speech with any
high sounding exordium. With little experience and with less learning, I have been able to
throw my thoughts hastily and imperfectly together; and trusting to your patient and
generous indulgence I will proceed to lay them before you.
This, for the purpose of this celebration, is the Fourth of July. It is the birth day of your
National Independence, and of your political freedom. This, to you, as what the Passover
was to the emancipated people of God. It carries your minds back to the day, and to the
act of your great deliverance; and to the signs, and to the wonders, associated with that
act, and that day. This celebration also marks the beginning of another year of your
national life; and reminds you that the Republic of America is now 76 years old. l am
glad, fellow-citizens, that your nation is so young. Seventy-six years, though a good old
age for a man, is but a mere speck in the life of a nation. Three score years and ten is the
allotted time for individual men; but nations number their years by thousands. According
to this fact, you are, even now, only in the beginning of your national career, still
lingering in the period of chi ...

Beowulf Translation by Seamus Heaney So. The Spear-Danes .docxrichardnorman90310
Beowulf
Translation by Seamus Heaney
So. The Spear-Danes in the past
And the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness. We have heard of the heroic campaigns of these princes.
There was Shield Sheafson, scourge of many tribes, A destroyer of mead banks, rampant among enemies. This terror of the troops in the hall had come from afar.
A foundling to begin with, he would flourish later as his powers increased and his worth was proven.
In the end, every clan on the outer coasts
Beyond the Whale Route had to give in to him 10 And start paying homage to him. He was a good king.
Then a boy was born in Shield,
A little one in the yard, a comfort sent
By God to this nation. He knew what they had overcome, the long stretches and troubles they would have gone through without a leader; so the Lord of Life,
The glorious Almighty made this man famous.
Shield had fathered a famous son:
Beow's name was known in the north.
And a young prince must be careful like that, 20 Give freely while his father lives
While after age, when the fighting begins
Steadfast companions will stand by his side
And hold the line. Admired behavior
Is the path to power among people all over the world.
Shield was still in full swing when his time came and he came into the care of the Lord. His group of warriors did what he told them
When he made the law among the Danes:
They supported him on the waves of the sea, 30 The ruler they worshiped and who ruled them for a long time.
A bow with rings twirled in the harbor,
Frozen, outgoing, a profession for a prince.
They have laid down their beloved lord in his boat,
Arranged by the mast, amidships,
The great donor of rings. Wacky treasures were piled on top of him, along with precious materials.
I have never heard of a ship so well equipped with combat equipment, bladed weapons
And courier coats. The collected treasure
Was loaded above him: he would travel far in the sway of the ocean.
They decorated her body no less abundantly
With offerings that these firsts made
Who threw him away when he was a child
And launched it alone on the waves. And they set a gold standard
Over his head and let him drift
To the wind and the tide, the weeping
And mourning their loss. No man can tell
No wise man in the room or weathered veteran
40
50
Knows for sure who picked up this charge.
Then it was up to Beow to guard the forts.
He was well regarded and ruled the Danes
For a long time after his father took his leave
Of his life on earth. And then his heir,
The great Halfdane, reigned
As long as he lived, their eldest and warlord.
He was four times a father, this fighting prince:
One by one they entered the world, 60 Heorogar, Hrothgar, the good Halga
And a girl, I heard, who was Onela's queen,
A balm in bed for the Swede marked by the battle.
The fortunes of the war favored Hrothga.
The first protestant missionary to India. He is the first man to translate new Testament into Tamil and translated the Old Testament books from Genesis to Ruth.
The Pilgrims arrived at Cape Cod in November and sent an exploration party by land to scout the area while repairs were made to their shallop. The explorers encountered Native Americans but were not able to communicate. They found signs of past cornfields and dwellings. A later exploration by shallop discovered two empty houses and stores of corn and beans, ensuring the Pilgrims' survival. In December, during another exploration, the group had a violent encounter with Native Americans but suffered no injuries. They took this as a sign from God and named the place the "First Encounter."
This document is an introduction and preface to a book titled "Our Near Future" by William A. Redding published in 1896. It discusses how discoveries in Egypt, Palestine, and Babylon have confirmed dates in the Bible and how God is now revealing prophecies to be understood as the end of the current age approaches. It warns that within 20 years, by 1915, a time of great tribulation will begin, with governments being shaken, anarchy, pestilence, and people seeking refuge from God's judgment. It encourages reading the book to understand what changes are prophesied and to repent and accept Jesus as king to receive guidance.
Mr. President, Friends and Fellow CitizensHe who could address .docxrosemarybdodson23141
Mr. President, Friends and Fellow Citizens:
He who could address this audience without a quailing sensation, has stronger nerves than I have. I do not remember ever to have appeared as a speaker before any assembly more shrinkingly, nor with greater distrust of my ability, than I do this day. A feeling has crept over me, quite unfavorable to the exercise of my limited powers of speech. The task before me is one which requires much previous thought and study for its proper performance. I know that apologies of this sort are generally considered flat and unmeaning. I trust, however, that mine will not be so considered. Should I seem at ease, my appearance would much misrepresent me. The little experience I have had in addressing public meetings, in country schoolhouses, avails me nothing on the present occasion.
The papers and placards say, that I am to deliver a 4th [of] July oration. This certainly sounds large, and out of the common way, for it is true that I have often had the privilege to speak in this beautiful Hall, and to address many who now honor me with their presence. But neither their familiar faces, nor the perfect gage I think I have of Corinthian Hall, seems to free me from embarrassment.
The fact is, ladies and gentlemen, the distance between this platform and the slave plantation, from which I escaped, is considerable — and the difficulties to be overcome in getting from the latter to the former, are by no means slight. That I am here to-day is, to me, a matter of astonishment as well as of gratitude. You will not, therefore, be surprised, if in what I have to say I evince no elaborate preparation, nor grace my speech with any high sounding exordium. With little experience and with less learning, I have been able to throw my thoughts hastily and imperfectly together; and trusting to your patient and generous indulgence, I will proceed to lay them before you.
This, for the purpose of this celebration, is the 4th of July. It is the birthday of your National Independence, and of your political freedom. This, to you, is what the Passover was to the emancipated people of God. It carries your minds back to the day, and to the act of your great deliverance; and to the signs, and to the wonders, associated with that act, and that day. This celebration also marks the beginning of another year of your national life; and reminds you that the Republic of America is now 76 years old. I am glad, fellow-citizens, that your nation is so young. Seventy-six years, though a good old age for a man, is but a mere speck in the life of a nation. Three score years and ten is the allotted time for individual men; but nations number their years by thousands. According to this fact, you are, even now, only in the beginning of your national career, still lingering in the period of childhood. I repeat, I am glad this is so. There is hope in the thought, and hope is much needed, under the dark clouds which lower above the horizon. The eye of the reformer i.

Requerimiento, 1514
This document was required to be read aloud to natives by Spanish Conquistadors before engaging in any act of conquest. Often times this was done without translation into the local dialect.
On behalf of the king and the queen, subjugators of barbarous peoples, we, their servants, notify and make known to you as best we are able, that God, Our Lord, living and eternal, created the heavens and the earth, and a man and a woman, of whom you and we and all other people of the world were, and are, the descendants. Because of the great numbers of people who have come from the union of these two in the five thousand year, which have run their course since the world was created, it became necessary that some should go in one direction and that others should go in another. Thus they became divided into many kingdoms and many provinces, since they could not all remain or sustain themselves in one place.
Of all these people God, Our Lord, chose one, who was called Saint Peter, to be the lord and the one who was to be superior to all the other people of the world, whom all should obey. He was to be the head of the entire human race, wherever men might exist. God gave him the world for his kingdom and jurisdiction. God also permitted him to be and establish himself in any other part of the world to judge and govern all peoples, whether Christian, Moors, Jew, Gentiles, or those of any other sects and beliefs that there might be. He was called the Pope. One of the past Popes who succeeded Saint Peter, as Lord of the Earth gave these islands and Mainland's of the Ocean Sea [the Atlantic Ocean] to the said King and Queen and to their successors, with everything that there is in them, as is set forth in certain documents which were drawn up regarding this donation in the manner described, which you may see if you so desire.
In consequence, Their Highnesses are Kings and Lords of these islands and mainland by virtue of said donation. Certain other isles and almost all [the native peoples] to whom this summons has been read have accepted Their Highnesses as such Kings and Lords, and have served, and serve, them as their subjects as they should, and must, do, with good will and without off ...

This poem describes a Christmas from the perspective of the narrator as a young boy. It recalls vivid sensory details of spending Christmas Eve with his friend Jim waiting to pelt neighborhood cats with snowballs. When they hear Mrs. Prothero shouting that there is a fire, they run inside to find only smoke and Mr. Prothero waving his slipper. They call the fire brigade who arrive to find no fire, just smoke.

This document provides instructions on how to write an argumentative essay, specifically how to introduce a counter argument and rebuttal. It explains that an argumentative essay has three parts: a claim, a counter claim that argues against the claim, and a rebuttal that refutes the counter claim and reaffirms the original position.

The Pilgrims faced extreme hardship during their first winter in Plymouth colony from 1620-1621. Over half of the colonists died during this period, primarily from scurvy and other diseases contracted during the long voyage and from living in poor conditions without adequate housing or supplies. A few colonists risked their own health to care for the sick, while others abandoned their companions. In March, an Indian named Samoset introduced himself and helped the colonists communicate with Chief Massasoit, establishing a peace agreement between the Wampanoag tribe and the colony. The Pilgrims were further aided by Squanto, a native to the area who spoke English and helped them plant corn and find other resources.

Plantation with Text-Dependent Questions
Religious Beliefs
The one side [the Reformers] laboured to have ye right worship of God & discipline of Christ
established in ye church, according to ye simplicitie of ye gospell, without the mixture of
mens inventions, and to have & to be ruled by ye laws of Gods word, dispensed in those
offices, & by those officers of Pastors, Teachers, & Elders, &c. according to ye Scripturs.
The other partie [the Church of England], though under many colours & pretences,
endevored to have ye episcopall dignitie (affter ye popish maner) with their large power
& jurisdiction still retained; with all those courts, cannons, & ceremonies, togeather with all
such livings, revenues, & subordinate officers, with other such means as formerly upheld
their antichristian greatnes, and enabled them with lordly & tyranous power to persecute ye
poore servants of God.
Questions for Religious Beliefs
What did the Reformers believe in?
What do the Pilgrims (Reformers) see as the problem with the Church of England?
Moving to the City of Leiden, Holland (1609)
For these & some other reasons they removed to Leyden, a fair & bewtifull citie, and of a
sweete situation, but made more famous by ye universitie wherwith it is adorned, in which
of late had been so many learned man. But wanting that traffike by sea which Amerstdam
injoyes, it was not so beneficiall for their outward means of living & estats. But being now
hear pitchet they fell to such trads & imployments as they best could; valewing peace & their
spirituall comforte above any other riches whatsoever. And at lenght they came to raise a
competente & comforteable living, but with hard and continuall labor.
2. Being thus settled (after many difficulties) they continued many years in a comfortable
condition, injoying much sweete & delightefull societies & spirituall comforte togeather in ye
wayes of God, under ye able ministrie, and prudente governmente of Mr. John Robinson, &
Mr. William Brewster, who was an assistante unto him in ye place of an Elder, unto which he
was now called & chosen by the church.
So as they grew in knowledge & other gifts & graces of ye spirite of God, & lived togeather
in peace, & love, and holiness; and many came unto them from diverse parts of England,
so as they grew a great congregation. And if at any time any differences arose, or offences
broak out (as it cannot be, but some time ther will, even amongst ye best of men) they
were ever so mete with, and nipt in ye head betims, or otherwise so well composed, as still
love, peace, and communion was continued; or else ye church purged ot those that were
incurable & incorrigible, when, after much patience used, no other means would serve,
which seldom came to pass.
Question for Moving to the City of Leiden, Holland (1609)
What was life like for the Pilgrims after they moved to Leiden?
Deciding to Emigrate to America
All great & honourable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and must be both
enterprised and overcome with answerable courages. It was granted ye dangers were great,
but not desperate; the difficulties were many, but not invincible. For though there were
many of them likely, yet they were not cartaine; it might be sundrie of ye things feared
might never befale; others by providente care & ye use of good means, might in a great
measure be prevented; and all of them, through ye help of God, by fortitude and patience,
might either be borne, or overcome.
True it was, that such atempts were not to be made and undertaken without good ground
& reason; not rashly or lightly as many have done for curiositie or hope of gaine, &c. But
their condition was not ordinarie; their ends were good & honourable; their calling lawfull, &
urgente; and therfore they might expecte ye blessing of god in their proceding. Yea, though
they should loose their lives in this action, yet might they have comforte in the same, and
their endeavors would be honourable. They lived hear but as men in exile, & in a poore
condition; and as great miseries might possibly befale them in this place, for ye 12. years of
truce [the truce between Holland and Spain] were now out, & ther was nothing but beating
of drumes, and preparing for warr, the events wherof are allway uncertaine.
3. Question for Deciding to Emigrate to America
Why did the Pilgrims decide to move to America in spite of the dangers?
Arriving Safely at Cape Cod
Being thus arived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees
& blessed ye God of heaven, who had brought them over ye vast & furious ocean, and
delivered them from all ye periles & miseries therof, againe to set their feete on ye firme and
stable earth, their proper elemente. And no marvell if they were thus joyefull, seeing wise
Seneca was so affected with sailing a few miles on ye coast of his owne Italy; as he affirmed,
that he had rather remaine twentie years on his way by land, then pass by sea to any place
in a short time; so tedious & dreadfull was ye same unto him.
But hear I cannot but stay and make a pause, and stand half amased at this poore peoples
presente condition; and so I thinke will the reader too, when he well considered ye same.
Being thus passed ye vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before in their preparation (as may
be remembred by yt which wente before), they had now no friends to wellcome them, nor
inns to entertaine or refresh their weatherbeaten bodys, no houses or much less townes to
repaire too, to seeke for succoure.
Let it also be considred what weake hopes of supply & succoure they left behinde them, yt
might bear up their minds in this sade condition and trialls they were under; and they could
not but be very smale. It is true, indeed, ye affections & love of their brethren at Leyden was
cordiall & entire towards them, but they had litle power to help them, or them selves; and
how ye case stode betweene them & ye marchants at their coming away, hath already been
declared. What could not sustaine them but ye spirite of God & his grace? May not & ought
not the children of these fathers rightly say : Our faithers were Englishmen which came over

4. The Pilgrims’ Exploring Party Lands at Plymouth
From hence they departed, & co[a]sted all along, but discerned no place likely for harbor;
& therfore hasted to a place that their pillote, (one Mr. Coppin who had bine in ye cuntrie
before) did assure them was a good harbor, which he had been in, and they might fetch it
before night; of which they were glad, for it begane to be foule weather.
After some houres sailing, it begane to snow & raine, & about ye midle of ye afternoone, ye
wind increased, & ye sea became very rough, and they broake their ruder, & it was as much
as 2 men could doe to steere her with a cupple of oares. But their pillott bad them be of
good cheere, for he saw ye harbor; but ye storme increasing, & night drawing on, they bore
what saile they could to gett in, while they could see. But herwith they broake their mast in
3 peeces, & their saill fell over bord, in a very grown sea, so as they had like to have been
cast away; yet by Gods mercie they recovered them selves, & having ye floud with them,
struck into ye harbore.
But when it came too, ye pillott was deceived in ye place, and said, ye Lord be mercifull
unto them, for his eys never saw yt place before; & he & the mr. mate would have rune her
ashore, in a cove full of breakers, before ye winde. But a lusty seaman which steered, bad
those which rowed, if they were men, about with her, or ells they were all cast away; the
which they did with speed. So he bid them be of good cheere & row lustly, for ther was a
faire sound before them, & he doubted not but they should find one place or other wher
they might ride in saftie. And though it was very darke, and rained sore, yet in ye end they
gott under ye lee of a smale iland, and remained ther all yt night in saftie. But they knew not
this to be an iland till morning, but were devided in their minds; some would keepe ye boate
for fear they might be amongst ye Indians; others were so weake and cold, they could not
endure, but got a shore, & with much adoe got fire, (all things being so wett,) and ye rest
were glad to come to them; for after midnight ye wind shifted to the north-west, & it frose
hard.
But though this had been a day & night of much trouble & danger unto them, yet God gave
them a morning of comforte & refreshing (as usually he doth to his children), for ye next
day was a faire sunshinig day, and they found them sellvs to be on an iland secure from ye
Indeans, wher they might drie their stufe, fixe their peeces, & rest them selves, and gave
God thanks for his mercies, in their manifould deliverances. And this being the last day of ye
weeke, they prepared there to keepe ye Sabath.
On Munday they sounded ye harbor, and founde it fitt for shipping; and marched into
ye land [Plymouth], & found diverse cornfeilds, & litle runing brooks, a place (as they
supposed) fitt for situation; at least it was ye best they could find, and ye season, & their
presente necessitie, made them glad to accepte of it. So they returned to their shipp againe
with this news to ye rest of their people, which did much comforte their harts.

6. Meeting Squanto, the Native American Who Spoke English
All this while the Indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes show themselves
aloof off, but when any approached near them, they would run away; and once they stole
away their tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner.
But about the 16th of March, a certain Indian came boldly amongst them and spoke to
them in broken English, which they could well understand but marveled at it. At length
they understood by discourse with him, that he was not of these parts, but belonged to the
eastern parts where some English ships came to fish, with whom he was acquainted and
could name sundry of them by their names, amongst whom he had got his language. He
became profitable to them in acquainting them with many things concerning the state of
the country in the east parts where he lived, which was afterwards profitable unto them; as
also of the people here, of their names, number and strength, of their situation and distance
from this place, and who was chief amongst them. His name was Samoset. He told them
also of another Indian whose name was Sguanto, a native of this place, who had been in
England and could speak better English than himself.
Being after some time of entertainment and gifts dismissed, a while after he came again,
and five more with him, and they brought again all the tools that were stolen away before,
and made way for the coming of their great Sachem, called Massasoit. Who, about four or
five days after, came with the chief of his friends and other attendance, with the aforesaid
Squanto. With whom, after friendly entertainment and some gifts given him, they made a
peace with him (which hath now continued this 24 years) in these terms:
1.
That neither he nor any of his should injure or do hurt to any of their people.
2.
That if any of his did hurt to any of theirs, he should send the offender, that
they might punish him.
3.
That if anything were taken away from any of theirs, he should cause it to be
restored; and they should do the like to his.
4.
If any did unjustly war against him, they would aid him; if any did war against
them, he should aid them.
5.
He should send to his neighbors confederates to certify them of this, that they
might not wrong them, but might be likewise comprised in the conditions of
peace.
6. That when their men came to them, they should leave their bows and arrows
behind them.
After these things he returned to his place called Sowams, some 40 miles from this place, but
Squanto continued with them and was their interpreter and was a special instrument sent of God
for their good beyond their expectation. He directed them how to set their corn, where to take
fish, and to procure other commodities, and was also their pilot to bring them to unknown places
for their profit, and never left them till he died.
He was a native of this place, and scarce any left alive besides himself. He we carried away with
7. divers others by one Hunt, a master of a ship, who thought to sell them for slaves in Spain.
But he got away for England and was entertained by a merchant in London, and employed to
Newfoundland and other parts, and lastly brought hither into these parts by one Mr. Dermer, a
gentleman employed by Sir Ferdinando Gorges and others for discovery and other designs in
these parts.

The Winter of 1621
In these hard & difficulte beginings they found some discontents & murmurings arise
amongst some, and mutinous speeches & carriags in other; but they were soone quelled
& overcome by ye wisdome, patience, and just & equall carrage of things by ye Govr and
better part, wch clave faithfully togeather in ye maine. But that which was most sadd &
lamentable was, that in 2. or 3. moneths time halfe of their company dyed, espetialy in Jan:
& February, being ye depth of winter, and wanting houses & other comforts; being infected
with ye scurvie & other diseases, which this long vioage & their inacomodate condition had
brought upon them; so as ther dyed some times 2. or 3. of a day, in ye foresaid time; that of
100. & odd persons, scarce 50. remained.
8. And of these in ye time of most distres, ther was but 6. or 7. sound persons, who, to their
great comendations be it spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of
toyle and hazard of their owne health, fetched them woode, made them fires, drest them
meat, made their beads, washed their lothsome cloaths, cloathed & uncloathed them; in a
word, did all ye homly & necessarie offices for them wch dainty & quesie stomacks cannot
endure to hear named; and all this willingly & cherfully, without any grudging in ye least,
shewing herein their true love unto their friends & bretheren. A rare example & worthy to
be remembred. Two of these 7. were Mr. William Brewster, ther reverend Elder, & Myles
Standish, ther Captein & military comander, unto whom my selfe, & many others, were much
beholden in our low & sicke condition.

The First Thanksgiving Feast
They begane now to gather in ye small harvest they had, and to fitte up their houses and
dwellings against winter, being all well recovered in health & strenght, and had all things in
good plenty; fFor as some were thus imployed in affairs abroad, others were excersised in
fishing, aboute codd, & bass, & other fish, of which yey tooke good store, of which every
family had their portion. All ye somer ther was no want. And now begane to come in store
of foule, as winter approached, of which this place did abound when they came first (but
afterward decreased by degrees). And besids water foule, ther was great store of wild
Turkies, of which they tooke many, besids venison, &c. Besids, they had about a peck a
meale a weeke to a person, or now since harvest, Indean corn to yt proportion. Which made
many afterwards write so largly of their plenty hear to their freinds in England, which were
not fained, but true reports.
