Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Plymouth Plantation William Bradford was born in 1590 at Austerfield, an obscure town in Yorkshire, England. "Here and in some other places," writes Cotton Mather, to whom we are indebted for what is known of Bradford´s early life, "he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child and cast him on the education, first of his grandparents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for-what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scriptures began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved when he came to attend the ministry of Rev. Mr. Richard Clifton, not far from his abode; he was then also further befriended, by being brought into the company and fellowship of such as were then called professors... Nor could the wrath of his uncles, nor the scoff of his neighbors, now turned upon him as one of the Puritans, divert him from his pious inclinations." When about eighteen years of age, Bradford, with a company who had separated from the established church, went to Holland. He was twice arrested for having fled from England; but an explanation of his reasons secured his early release, and he was permitted to join his friends at Amsterdam. While there he became apprenticed to a Frenchman engaged in the manufacture of silks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
