21. “Captaine Newport having set things in order, set saile for England the 22d of June, leaving provision for 13 or 14 weeks. The day before the Ships departure, the King of Pamaunke sent the Indian that had met us before in our discoverie, to assure us peace; our fort being then palisadoed round, and all our men in good health and comfort, albeit, that through some discontented humors, it did not so long continue, . . .” -Captain John Smith, “A True Relation,” 1608
22. “As yet we had no houses to cover us, our Tents were rotten and our Cabbins worse then nought: our best commoditie was Yron [iron] which we made into little chissels. The president and Captaine Martins sicknes, constrayned me to be Cape Marchant, and yet to spare no paines in making houses for the company; who notwithstanding our misery, little ceased their mallice, grudging, and muttering. As at this time were most of our chiefest men either sicke or discontented, the rest being in such dispaire, as they would rather starve and rot with idlenes, then be perswaded to do any thing for their ownereliefe without constraint . . .” –Captain John Smith, “A True Relation,” 1608
23. “In the Name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts of Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the Presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid: And by Virtue hereof do enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions, and Officers, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general Good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due Submission and Obedience. In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape-Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland, the fifty-fourth, Anno Domini, 1620.” –The Mayflower Compact
24. “The great questions that have troubled the country, are about the authority of the magistrates and the liberty of the people. It is yourselves who have called us to this office, and being called by you, we have our authority from God, . . . If you stand for your natural corrupt liberties, and will do what is good in your own eyes, you will not endure the least weight of authority, but will murmur, and oppose, and be always striving to shake off that yoke; but if you will be satisfied to enjoy such civil and lawful liberties, such as Christ allows you, then will you quietly and cheerfully submit unto that authority which is set over you, in all the administrations of it, for your good.”
25. Governor Winthrop: . . . [Y]ou have spoken divers things as we have been informed very prejudicial to the honour of the churches and ministers thereof, and you have maintained a meeting and an assembly in your house that hath been condemned by the general assembly as a thing not tolerable nor comely in the sight of God nor fitting for your sex, and notwithstanding that was cried down you have continued the same. . . . Mrs. Hutchinson: I am called here to answer before you but I hear no things laid to my charge. Gov.: I have told you some already and more I can tell you. Mrs. H.: Name one Sir. Gov.: Have I not named some already? Mrs. H.: What have I said or done? Gov.: Why for your doings, this you did harbour and countenance those that are parties in this faction that you have heard of. Mrs. H.: That's matter of conscience, Sir. Gov.: Your conscience you must keep or it must be kept for you.
26. Governor Winthrop: Why do you keep such a meeting at your house as you do every week upon a set day? Mrs. H.: It is lawful for me to do so, as it is all your practices and can you find a warrant for yourself and condemn me for the same thing? The ground of my taking it up was, when I first came to this land because I did not go to such meetings as those were, it was presently reported that I did not allow of such meetings but held them unlawful and therefore in that regard they said I was proud and did despise all ordinances, . . . Gov.: Well, we see how it is we must therefore put it away from you or restrain you from maintaining his course. Mrs. H.: If you have a rule for it from God’s word you may. Gov.: We are your judges, and not you ours and we must compel you to it. Mrs. H.: If it please you by authority to put it down I will freely let you for I am subject to your authority.
27. “Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on the fouling [hunt for food], that we might . . . rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. In one day they killed as much fowl as . . . served the company almost a week. At which time, . . . many of the Indians came amongst us . . . with some ninety men whom for three days we entertained and feasted . . .” – Thanksgiving at the Massachusetts Bay colony, 1621
28. In the autumn of 1621, a young member of the Massachusetts Bay colony, Edward Winslow, was present at the colony’s first Thanksgiving. He remarks that “many of the Indians came amongst us . . . with some ninety men whom for three days we entertained and feasted. . . .” -Thanksgiving at the Massachusetts Bay colony, 1621
29. For pottage and puddings and custards and pies Our pumpkins and parsnips are common supplies. We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon, If it were not for pumpkin, We should be undone. – American Folk Song
30. “Our capital town is advanced to about 150 very tolerable [satisfactory] houses for wooden ones; they are chiefly on both the navigable rivers that bound the ends or sides of the town. The farmers have got their winter corn in the ground. I suppose we may be 500 farmers strong. I settle them in villages, dividing 5,000 acres among ten, fifteen, or twenty families, as their ability is to plant it. . . .”
31. “The governor, William Penn, laid out the city of Philadelphia between the two rivers Delaware and Schuylkill, naming it with the pious wish and desire that its inhabitants might dwell together in brotherly love and unity. . . . “On the 24th day of October, 1685, I, Francis Daniel Pastorius, with the wish and concurrence of our governor, laid out and planned a new town, which we called Germantown, or Germanopolis, in a very fine and fertile district, with plenty of springs of fresh water, being well supplied with oak, walnut, and chestnut trees, and having besides excellent and abundant pasturage for the cattle. At the commencement there were but twelve families of forty-one individuals, consisting mostly of German mechanics and weavers.”
32. “ . . . Now, although the oft-mentioned William Penn is one of the sect of Friends, or Quakers, still he will compel no man to belong to his particular society; but he has granted to everyone free and untrammeled exercise of their opinions and the largest and most complete liberty of conscience. “The native Indians have no written religious belief or creed; and their own peculiar ideas, which are by no means so rude or so barbarous as those of many other heathens, have to be transmitted from the parents to their children only per traditionem [through tradition]. . . .”
