Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience Discussed: And Mr. Cotton´s Letter Examined and Answered It was on the 1st day of December, in the year 1630, that Mr. Roger Williams, with his wife, embarked at Bristol for America, in the ship Lyon, Captain William Pierce. Two years and a half before, a number of eminent and enthusiastic men had gone forth, animated by religious principles and purposes, to seek a home and a refuge from persecution on the wild and untenanted shores of Massachusetts Bay. Charles I. had announced his design of ruling the English people by arbitrary power, only a few days before a patent for the Company of Massachusetts Bay passed the seals. No provision was made in this document for the exercise of religious liberty. The emigrants were puritans, and although they had suffered long for conscience´ sake, on this subject their views were as contracted as those of their brethren who in Elizabeth´s reign sought the overthrow of England´s hierarchy. The patent secured to them, however, to a great extent, a legislative independence of the mother country; but they soon employed that power to persecute differing consciences.
