Address On The Seal Of The Society January 28 1908 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Address on the Seal of the Society: January 28, 1908 The contents of this book was ordered to be read in the churches, but the command was not enforced until, in 1633, Charles the First ordered that the book should be read in all the parish Churches. This excited the indignation of the Puritans and greatly contrib uted to the downfall of the monarchy. In 1649 the Long Parliament called in all copies Of the Book of Sports and ordered them burned. Rev. Mr. Glover was now suspended from his duties as Rector of Sutton. Mr. Darcey hoped that he would conform and be restored to the parish as rector. Mr. Glover held it under consideration and turned his thoughts to New England. It is now pretty well proved that Mr. Glover made his first voy age to this country in the Spring before this petition was presented to the Archbishop. We know that he was in London on March 13, 1634, when he witnessed the will of Francis Drake of Esher, Sur rey, who died March 17, leaving to John Drake, my cousin William Drake's son £20 to be sent to him in New England and to Joanna Hooker, who is now in New England, £30, at her mar riage. This was probably the daughter of Rev. Thomas Hooker, minister of the First Church in Cambridge, who married Rev. Thomas Shepard, her father's successor, in 1637. Rev. Jose Glover was part owner of the Planter of London, and it is thought that he sailed in this vessel April 7, 1634. Stores purchased by Mr. John Humphrey were on board, and it is believed that he and his wife, Lady Susan, daughter Of the Earl of Lincoln, were passengers on this voyage. The Planter arrived in Boston in June, 1634. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
