    195 Chapter IV Attitudes to Pastoral Work in England. c. 1560-1640. The career structure and material rewards outlined in the preceding chapters are the aspects of the parish ministry which left records obviously capable of analysis and even of measure- ment. No doubt they Shaped the lives and attitudes of the clergy. To see the parish clergy only in these terms, however, is to exclude the pastorate itself, the service which justified the continuance in a Protestant community of a separate order of church officers. Naturally enough the English clergy of the later 16th and early 17th centuries commonly held that theirs was both an honourable and an arduous office, by virtue of the ministry which they performed. The two went together, according to George Downame. "The honour and charge as they be inseperable, so also proportionable; for such as is the weight of the Burden, such is the height of the Honour; and contrariwise." 1 Before the burden and honour are examined as they appeared in the work of the Durham clergy, it would be helpful to know by what standards their efforts were judged. What expectations did clergy and laity entertain of the personal and professional conduct of the pastor? i. Contemporary writing on the pastorate. The most public and formal duties of the minister, those of the liturgy, were laid down in the Prayer Book, although with sufficient ambiguity for both the opponents of vestments 1. G.

Caleb was an active boy and was anxious to explore the world beyond his native village, so at the age of 19 went on a whaling ship bound for the coast of Greenland. On return from London in a merchant ship, he arrived to find the country engaged in the Revolutionary War. He immediately volunteered and soon was made a lieutenant of artillery. He was held in high esteem by his officers and the commander in chief for his integrity, courage and patriotism and became an important member of the Culper Spy Ring. Under the direction of Major Benjamin Tallmadge, Brewster provided important information relative to the movements of the British Army in New York and on Long Island.

  • A Functional Look at Law Political Crises, Values and Case Volume in Puritan Law, 1671-1680 Eldon R
    a functional look at law political crises, values and case volume in puritan law, 1671-1680 eldon r. turner Most authorities who write about Anglo-American legal history view property or civil law as disinterested. By disinterested, they mean simply that the civil cases which come to court are of interest only for their claims on others. Such cases have little immediate social importance.1 Yet, a look at the case volume in the Suffolk County Court for the years 1671-1680 reveals an erratic pattern that suggests some social cause (Graph 1). This strange pattern demands explanation. Functional theory can supply an explanation while the reassertion of disinterestedness in civil law cannot.2 i At its best, functional theory provides for the interplay between values in a community and collective behavior. It asserts that general behavioral patterns tend to support and maintain structures and values in com­ munities. My thesis here is that a functional analysis of religious, politi­ cal and military history during the decade of the 1670's reveals a plausible functional connection between the corporate values of Puritan culture and the fluctuation of case volume in the Suffolk County Court. Events in sequence and changes in the volume of cases make me think that, by means of legal participation, civil litigants collectively and unconsciously supported corporate values. Before I go any further, I must say that my intention is not to refight the battle of functional theory. Functionalism provides for dif­ ferences between internal and external stress in and on communities, for behavioral or functional substitutes when a community is under stress, 71 and for behavioral changes which seem to follow certain patterns or values.3 All of these elements are important parts of my explanation because they exist in the history and in the legal behavior.

  • Principal. Ative Trades by the Dutch Craft Guilds and Had Been Forced To
    THE EARLY NEW ENGLAND DOCTOR: AN ADAPTATION TO A PROVINCIAL ENVIRONMENT* MALCOLM SYDNEY BEINFIELD I. THE PROVINCIAL ENVIRONMENT The Wise man does no wrong in changing his habits with the times. -Dio ysius Cato, Disticha de Moribus Bk. I, No. 7. Colonial America was not the Utopian haven sought after by so many discontented Europeans, but rather an uncultivated expanse, inhabited by hostile Indians, who resented the influx of the white man on their sovereign domain. Those who regarded American colonization as primarily a financial venture were soon disappointed, for no gold was discovered; the revenue derived from trade was insignificant and the actual money invested by various stock com- panies earned no interest and returned but little of the original principal. The task that faced the colonist was extremely difficult, and its successful completion required the utmost physical fortitude. But the Pilgrim Fathers were inured to toil, for during their twelve-year sojourn in Holland they had been excluded from the more remuner- ative trades by the Dutch craft guilds and had been forced to perform heavy manual labor for from twelve to fifteen hours a day. Indeed, it was only through actual drudgery that the early settlers were able to establish a foothold on this continent 3000 miles away from their base of supply. It was in this rugged environment that the medical pioneers first began to practice. One hundred and two separatists, now become the Pilgrim Fathers of history, arrived at Plymouth in 1620. They were fol- lowed ten years later by a much larger group under John Win- throp, and each succeeding year brought a greater number of immigrants to the New England shores.

    HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MASON, N.H. FROM THE FIRST GRANT IN 1749, TO THE YEAR 1858 BY JOHN B. HILL __________ BOSTON: LUCIUS A. ELLIOT & CO. D. BUGBEE & CO., BANGOR 1858. HISTORY OF MASON. CHAPTER 1. Captain John Mason; Grants to him of Lands in New Hampshire; Settlements commenced by him; Controversies with Massachusetts respecting the title and jurisdiction; how settled; Title vested in the Masonian proprietors. THE town of Mason is situated in the county of Hillsborough, in the State of New Hampshire. It lies upon the southern border of the State, about midway between the eastern and western extremities of its southern boundary. On the south it bounds upon Townsend and Ashby, on the west upon New Ipswich, on the north upon Temple and Wilton and on the east upon Milford and Brookline. It is in that portion of the State of New Hampshire which was granted by the council of Plymouth in 1621 to Capt. John Mason. As the town derives its name from that gentleman, and the title to the soil therein is in fact derived: and claimed under this grant to him, and sundry subsequent grants in confirmation thereof, and as the State is also indebted to him for its name, it being derived from that Of the county of Hampshire, in England, of whose principal town, Portsmouth, Mason was at one time governor, a brief sketch of his life and of the titles granted to him, and of the various and long-continued controversies to which the uncertain and indefinite descriptions of the boundaries of the original and subsequent grants gave rise, and of the manner in which they were finally settled will not be deemed an inappropriate introduction to these memorials of the place and its people.

The b roken stones, the moss covered inscriptions, and the neglected tombs of our general ancestors for the first two generations, constitute the apology for placing this work before the public. The patronage of such works is not sufficiently attractive to publishers, but the time will come when the citizens of Fairfield will be grateful that a portion of its records is thus placed beyond the reach of ordinary danger and pre served for convenient reference. The notes inter larded and the address by Mr. W. A. Beers will preserve for the future generations, much information concerning "ye olden time," which never has appeared in print before. .K.

Bulkeley, of New York, who has a country seat in Rocky Hill, engaged the publisher to prepare a full and complete genealogy of the Bulkeley family in America, descended from the Rev. Peter Bulkeley, of Concord, Mass., who arrived in New England in 1634 or l 635. Most of the four intervening years have been faithfully devoted to this work. No pains hf1,ve been spared to make out a correct list of all the descendants. The usual difficulties attending such an enter­ prise have been fully experienced. More than one thousand letters have been written to different members of the family. Two differ­ ent circulars have also been sent to all whose residence has been known. The writer has.also visited the offices of town clerks and clerks of probate, and examined church and parish records, searched burial-grounds, visited numerous families, and made as thorough investigation as practicable to include all of the race in the country.
