Excerpt from Memoir of Rev. Patrick Copland: Rector Elect of the First Projected College in the United States; A Chapter of the English Colonization of America
Living, as Copland did, in a period of political and ecclesiastical convulsion indulging neither in politi cal acerbity, nor the odium theologicum, yet not afraid to differ from popular modes of thought and worship, to correspond With Hugh Peters, once the fiery preacher at Salem, Massachusetts, and, at the same time, to call Nicholas Ferrar, the gentle ritual istic recluse of Little Gidding, his friend, it is not strange that his name was not written in large letters by the trimming historians of the era of the vacillating Charles and determined Cromwell, Who seemed to think it a work of merit, to hurl words, like barbed arrows, against all Who differed from them an iota.
