HAMILTON, WORCESTER, MASS. INTRODUCTION. ' A popular historian has said that the study of history ' sets before us striking examples of virtue, enterprise, courage, generosity, patriotism ; and, by a natural principle of emula- tion, incites us to copy such noble examples." We, of the present generation, know but little of the trials, fatigues, hardships, fears and anxieties, which our fathers and mothers of early New England days experienced and willingly endured, that they might establish a government and found a nation, where the privileges of civil and religious liberty, and the benefits of general education, should be the blessed inheritance of their posterity for all time. Having been accustomed to the even temperature and mild winters of the British Isles, the abrupt change of location, with unavoidable exposure to the harsher climate and rigorous win- ters of New England, caused many of the delicate ones among the first settlers to waste rapidly away with consumption or other unlooked-for diseases, while even the most vigorous of the first one or two generations after immigration, being subjected to the unceasing toil and the perils incident to early settle- ments, rarely attained the age of three-score and ten. But they looked beyond the present with the affairs that concerned them- selves only and comprehended the possibilities of the far- distant future, and with laudable self-sacrifice and persistent eftbrts amidst harassing discouragements, made such provision for the well-being of their descendants as their oppoilunities afi:brded. It was evidently a chief desire and great aim with them so to establish in the lives of those committed to their care, principles of piety, morality and virtue, and habits of industry, mental culture and economy, that they in their turn, and each succeeding generation, should, in the words of the IV INTRODUCTION. Psalmist, "make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born, who should arise and declare them to their children." When it seemed certain that they were securing the germs of the blessings they had so fondly sought, they were sorely embarrassed by having their precious liberties curtailed, and were suddenly deprived of the privilege of having rulers of their own election, and obliged to submit to the arbitrary dicta- tion of governors appointed from beyond the sea. Their best men were often demanded as soldiers, and required to take long and perilous marches through the unknown wilds of the forest, and wexe exposed to the dangers of camp and battle- field in distant parts of the land, in order to carry on wars for the crown of England ; and then, as if this were not enough, they were burdened with taxes to defray the expenses of those wars. They were often in terror of midnight attacks, when their homes were liable to be reduced to ashes, and they or their families slaughtered by a foe more wily and treacherous in his nature, more cruel and unrelenting in his hate, than any previously known in history. They were obliged to work early and late with but little diversion, in order to wrest from a stern and unyielding soil, the products necessary for the comfortable maintenance of their several households ; the num- bers of whose members as compared with the size of some of the families of modern civilization, could our hardy ancestors be permitted to see the startling change, might well cause them to blush for their posterity and feel alarm for the future existence of their race. They would have spurned the prac- tices followed by modern voluptuaries in the pursuit of ease and pleasure. Constant bearing of life's heavy burdens, expe- rience of trying hardships and the practice of sturdy virtues, enabled them to build the foundations of a race whose charac- teristics of energy, perseverance and general progress, have excited the admiration of the world. Although occasional per- sonal misdemeanors and a few public acts, which might be cited, show that we must not extravagantly claim for all of INTRODUCTION. V them unexceptionable purity and integrity, or that as a body they always acted wisely and justly ; yet, considering the state of society in England prior to their emigration, and the injus- tice and abuse to which they and their ancestors had in some cases been subjected, we can but be surprised that high moral principles were so generally exemplified in their lives, and that their public decrees toward those whom they regarded as propagators of error were so seldom characterized by vindic- tiveuess. As well do the deeds of piety, patriotism and benevo- lence which they actually performed, as the rigid self-denials which they practised and the crushing hardships which they patiently endured, entitle them to our admiration. In seasons of danger to the body politic they voluntarily and promptly offered their time and services to relieve the community from the threatened perils. And taking a later and less general view, subsequent to the first century of settlement, after per- sistent industry united with manly energy and judicious man- agement had won the smile of Providence in the accumulation of ample fortunes, we see, in several instances, a large propor- tion of those fortunes yielded up and benevolently and piously contributed for the promotion of education, morality and religion. It is a sacred duty that we, especially as their descendants, owe to such nol)le men and women as these, to preserve carefully the memory of their lives, that their posterity to the remotest generation, being incited by the " natural principle of emulation," may be led "to copy such noble examples." "Phillips," a name spelled in a variety of forms, is of ancient and classical origin, being derived from the Greek, Philos-hippos, or horse lover. In Wales and other parts of Great Britain its use as a surname has continued for a long period, evidently for five hundred years, and perhaps much longer. It is said that " Phillipse " is Welsh and that "Philips" is from Worcestershire. It is stated by good authority that the Watertown family of this name were of the " Philips " of Worcestershire. Some are positive that all the VI INTRODUCTION. English families of this name had their origin from Wales and subsequently spread over Great Britain. Several different ways have been employed in spelling, as Phillips, Philips, Phillipse, Philipps and others, some of them so peculiar as hardly to be recognized as having a common origin. Families and individuals of this name began to emigrate from the Old World at a very early date in the history of this country, as early as 1630, and some a little earlier, and locate at different points near the sea-coast, but more especially in New England. From that time to the present they have con- tinued to multiply and spread, by natural causes and by emi- gration, until now they are to be found in every State from Maine to California ; and those in this country who spell their name by the more common form of Phillips, are numbered by thousands. It is now exceedingly difficult to establish the relation which existed between many of these earlier Phillipses or to trace out satisfactorily the several lines of their descendants. Of the family of Rev. George Phillips of Watertown, Mass., there have been at least ten generations. There may be some now of the eleventh, but if so, no notice of them has come to the writer. None of the first five generations are now living. The last one, probably, of the fifth generation died in 1865 at the great age of nearly 105 years. There are five divisions of this family so marked by long continued residence in particular localities that they might well be designated as distinctive branches. These are the Andover Branch, from Rev. Samuel Phillips who located in that town in 1711 ; the Boston Branch, from Hon. John Phillips who went there to live about 1718; the Brookhaven Branch, from Rev. Geo. Phillips who located in Brookhaven, Long Island, 1697 ; the Makblehead and Salem Branch, from Jonathan Phillips who removed from Watertown to Marblehead about 1719 ; the Oxford Branch, from Joseph Phillips who went there from Watertown not far from 1725. It will perhaps be noticed that the Christian name Samuel occurs in nearly every genera- tion of the Andover branch ; while in the Oxford branch there INTRODUCTION. vii is an almost entire absence of either of the names Samuel, Sarah or William. Some members of each of these branches might have been found living in or near the several towns from which the respective branches take their names, at any time during the last one hundred and fifty to two hundred years. Some of the earliest progenitors of the New England families of this name of which the line of descent has not been fully traced appear to have been the following : Nicholas Phillips (Deacon) of Weymouth, 1640, seems to have had a large family, and a large number of the name at the present day are doubtless his descendants.

  • The Development of Congregational Polity and Early Governance in Watertown, Massachusetts”
    “The Development of Congregational Polity and Early Governance in Watertown, Massachusetts” Charter Day Talk - September 12, 2009 - Rev. Mark W. Harris Anyone who wishes to understand early town government and town meetings in Massachusetts needs to know about the form of church government that the early Puritan settlers described as, “One, Immutable, and Prescribed in the Word of God.” (1) The authority for their chosen form of Ecclesiastical organization was the Bible, and the Puritans set forth in the Cambridge Platform of 1648 that “the parts of church-government are all of them exactly described” there. Here was a sharp division between Puritan and Anglican, for the Puritan could not find in the book of Acts or the letters of Paul any reason to justify a hierarchal system of bishops, or cardinals, or popes. The Puritan structure of organization has typically been described as congregational polity, because the congregations were intended to be a reflection of the primitive Christian churches which were small cells of independent believers. (2) By 1648 nearly thirty years had passed since the first settlers had arrived in Plymouth. The Westminster Confession, a theological platform, had arrived in the colonies from England, and by and large, there was agreement among the Puritans in matters of faith. Fifty churches had been gathered in the four colonies - Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, New Haven and Hartford. The Synod in Cambridge, which held its first session in 1646, was called by the General Court to formally structure the polity of the New England churches. Some of the English authorities had hoped to Presbyterianize the congregations, and while the theological agreement made it a fortuitous time to regularize church polity in the New World, the Puritans had no desire to capitulate to a system that did not, in their view, conform to texts from scripture.

  • BIRTH of BOSTON PURITANS CREATE “CITY UPON a HILL” by Our Newssheet Writer in Boston September 8, 1630
    BIRTH OF BOSTON PURITANS CREATE “CITY UPON A HILL” By our newssheet writer in Boston September 8, 1630 URITAN elders declared yesterday that the Shawmut Peninsula will be called P“Boston” in the future. The seat of government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which began two years ago, will also be in Boston. It follows a meeting between John Winthrop, the colony’s elected governor and clergyman William Blackstone, one of the first settlers to live in Trimount on the peninsula, so called because of its three “mountains.” Blackstone recommended its spring waters. Winthrop (pictured) left England earlier this year to lead ships across the Atlantic. Of the hundreds of passengers on board, many were Puritans seeking religious freedom, eager to start a new life in New England. They had prepared well, bringing many horses and cows with them. The new governor, a member of the English upper classes, brought the royal charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company with him. However, the company’s charter did not impose control from England—the colony would be effectively self-governing. Arriving in Cape Ann, the passengers went ashore and picked fresh strawberries—a welcome change from shipboard life! Colonists had previously settled in the area, but dwellings had been abandoned after many had died in drastically reduced by disease. But Winthrop the harsh winter or were starving. is taking few chances by spreading out One early colonist was Roger Conant, who settlements to make it difficult for potentially established Salem near the Native Naumkeag hostile groups to attack. people.

  • The Provenance of John Milton's Christian Doctrine
    SEL 34 (1994) ISSN 0039-3657 Forum II: Milton's Christian Doctrine The Provenance ofJohn Milton's Christian Doctrine: A Reply to William B. Hunter MAURICE KELLEY As scholars have determined it during the past century and a half, the provenance of the Christian Doctrine should invite no suspicion of Milton's authorship. Instead it confirms it. The treatise originated in Milton's youthful collection of proof texts and his perusal of certain shorter systems of theology.' By the 1640s, Edward Phillips reports, his uncle was dictating to him and his fellow students portions of a "Tractate which he thought fit to collect from the ablest of Divines, who had written of that subject: Arnesius, Wollebius. &c. viz. A perfect System of Divinity, of which more hereafter."2 Phillips, however, failed to keep his promise of more information about "A perfect System," but the Anonymous Biographer (Cyriack Skinner) reports that about 1655 Milton began "the framing a Body of Divinity out of the Bible . which . hee finished after the Restoration."3 Our manuscript of the Christian Doctrine confirms Cyriack's rough dating, for the primary hand in it is that ofJeremie Picard, who served as witness or scribe in Milton documents dating from January 1658 to May 1660;4 and Cyriack's mention of Milton's heterodoxies5 indicates Maurice Kelley is Emeritus Professor of English, Princeton University. 154 REPLY TO HUNT E R that he is writing of the Christian Doctrine that we have today. Parallels between the treatise and Paradise Lost as well as between it and Milton's Art of Logic, not published until 1672,6 confirm Milton's authorship of the systematic theology.
