Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Shepard, Vol. 1: First Pastor of the First Church, Cambridge, Mass.; With a Memoir of His Life and Character
The ministers and Christians by whom New England was planted, as one of our early historians has remarked, were a chosen company of men, drawn from nearly all the counties of England, not by any human contrivance, but by a peculiar work of God upon their spirits, inspiring them as one man to retire into the wilderness they knew not where, and to sufl'er in that wilderness they knew not what, for the glory of God.
