OF THE PERIOD PRECEDING THE EXODUS FROM ENGLAND. Nearly all books and other laudatory writings on the Puritans that have filled libraries were composed by themselves and their descendants.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER H. OF THE PERIOD PRECEDING THE EXODUS FROM ENGLAND. Nearly all books and other laudatory writings on the Puritans that have filled libraries were composed by themselves and their descendants. That impartiality should mark the tone of these family records, or that truth should be the base line to which all should conform, is not to be expected. Much of the inspiration that aroused the zeal of the authors came from exaggerations composed of tradition and misstatements called history. I speak now of what preceded the exodus from England. There is nothing that excites so vehemently the sympathies of civilized men as the narrative of physical agony, mental anguish and spiritual suffering that a person or a people undergoes on account of religious faith. There is witchery in the dim past, just as there is in the natural world, that magnifies objects seen through haze. The sun appears more than twice as large at the horizon than at its zenith. Time has magnified women of ordinary statute into Amazons; has increased the glory of Galahad; multiplied the army of Xerxes; made marvelous, not to say enviable, the gastronomic capacity of the Romans, and, even later, of our English ancestry, and the physical strength of the Greeks. We reach widely different conclusions after reading stories told by Ariosoto and Mun- ehausen; and history recited by Robertson, Green, Bancroft, or Ridpath. And it is this perversion of the light of hsitory that haa cast a secred halo around the heads of the Puritan Fathers. An epitome of the history of this people in England can be stated in very few words. This arose from the spiritual unrest, the civic turmoil, the mental unbalance that followed the defiance of the Vatican by Martin Luther. The religious world was upheaved.
