Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Jubilee of New England: A Sermon, Preached in Hadley, December 22, 1820, in Commemoration of the Landing of Our Fathers at Plymouth; Being Two Centuries From That Event We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old: How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them. Two hundred years have elapsed, since the settlement of New England commenced; and we, in common with multitudes of christians, in this now populous and happy country, have assembled to commemorate the virtues of our fathers, and the merciful dealings of Heaven towards them, and their posterity. May I not, therefore, hope for your attention, while I briefly exhibit those great outlines of our history, which most impressively illustrate the goodness of God to New England, and our obligations to gratitude. Our fathers were puritans. The name was first given to those, who, under the arbitrary reign of Elizabeth, distinguished themselves by their opposition to the superstitious ceremonies of the English church, and by their zeal for restoring the worship of God to the simplicity and purity of the apostolic days. By an attempt so laudable, they exposed themselves to the resentment of their sovereign, who resolved to enforce, at all events, and by the severest penalties, perfect uniformity in the religion of her subjects.
