and Innocent women dismisgpd them to go where they
pleased, and so in the end after more trouble and misery
thw found a way to get over to Holland some at onetime
nod aotne at another ; and at last they all met together
again-according to their desire and with mfsmaD rejoicing. It/was in the year 1608'that Mr. Robinson the Pastor with all the rest of his flock got safe into Holland.
They remained in Holland in the city ofLeyden about
twelve years 'Phis part of their history though in mony
respects fall of interest we must pass over. Suffice it to
say that though tbey were at firet exposed to considerable
privation and hardship on account of the loses they hod
sustained in England and though obliged to endure severe
labor for their support, tbey soon woo tho confidenco of
their Dutch neighbors aod of the authorities of tho city.
They were permitted moreover to worship God publicly
unmolested and according to their own views of things ;
but at length they began to think of going to America
aud founding a new community and a new nation. They
thought that if they could fouqd n new community in
America, their friends in England of the same way or
thinking as themselves wonld come to them ; and so they
could make a homo both for themselves and otiters and a
placc of refuge for the persecuted and oppressed of all
countries. They foresaw that their community could not
grow in Holland—but that they should in a generation
or two lose their English nationality, and become merged
with the Hutch people. They were receiving but small
accessions to their numbers from Euglaud. There was
not room in Holland for others to cotne. It was bard to
get there and hard to earn A livelihood there. They
found too that their children could not enjoy proper educational advantages in Leydcn—unless iniieed tliey should
learn the Dutch language and fall in with thu Dutch ways
which they were fast doing. They wished to retain the
language and the name ol Englishmen, but to do this they
must leave Holland. They were grieved moreover at the
way in which the Sabbath was profaned in Holland and
with the other cortopting influences aod examples to
which thoir children were exposed. Moreover, und this
was the chief reason, they had as they said " a great hope
aod inward zeal of laying some good foundation or at
least to mako some way thereunto ' for,tbc planting and
propagating of Christian Institutions and a new Christian
civilisation in these remote parts of the world—yea though
they themselves should be but as stepping stones for
others in the performance of so grerft a work. ITie 6nme
lofty spirit which had led these noble men to endure persecution and tho loss of their worldly wealth and voluntary exile, rather than yield assent to forms of doctrine
and worship which their conscicnces did not approve,
now led them to desire a wider field of action than they
could have in that little Dutch city. They did not think
they had done enough. They were oot content to live'
merely for themsolves. They burned with an inward zeal
to do somewhat to enlarge the boundaries of Eoglish and
christian civilization, and to make a home for oil others,
pcrsccoted and oppressed as they had been. They knew
that so far as Ihey were personally concerned it would be
a losJng business to remove to America. They said that
they did not expect to be able to make themselves'ns comfortable in America as they then were in Holland—but
they were willing to endure hardship themselves that they
might be the servants of posterity aud the bene factors of
succeeding generations
We para over the various projects and proposals which
were discussed in this little community—their final determination—that the younger and stronger should go first
—and the elder with their Pastor remain behind—the
difficulty they had iu obtaining permission from the English government to go at all—the hard bargain tbey were
compelled to make with the company which undertook
their removal—the rough and toilsome passage. *
Iu the dead of winter tbey lauded on the inhospitable
coast without shelter and without food except what was
left of the ship's provisions or what they might casually
procure in the forest or on the beach.
In the ship's cabin before they went ashore—they
formed a Constitution and chose a Governor—they organized themselves into a littlo Republic—and this was the
rise of Democracy in America.
Then and there they shaped the model which has given
the form of our free institutions and government. Then
and there they founded a state on the basis of democratic liberty—as tliey first trod the soil of the new world
they plantod tho seed principle of republican freedom and
national independence.
