L.M. Bouter, in het openbaar te verdedigen ten overstaan van de promotiecommissie van de faculteit der Letteren op woensdag 29 juni 2011 om 13.45 uur in de aula van de universiteit, De Boelelaan 1105 door Robert Arnoud Naborn geboren te Velsen promotor: prof.dr. W.Th.M. Frijhoff copromotor: dr. J. Noordegraaf 2 Acknowledgments The critical and emotional support of several people was indispensable for the completion of this study. I would first like to express my indebtedness to my advisor, Professor Willem Frijhoff. I am grateful for his taking on my unusual, transatlantic project, but mostly for his unbridled enthusiasm along the way, for his willingness to share his knowledge with me, and for his keen eye for detail. I would never have started this study without the encouragement of Dr. Jan Noordegraaf, dating back to February 1979, my introduction to Dutch linguistics. It is Jan who suggested I write articles when I had long left the academic worlds of the Vrije Universiteit in the Old World, and of the University of Kansas in the New. Jan also put me in contact with Willem Frijhoff when it became clear that my study was going to be historical rather than linguistic. Without Jan’s zeal, perseverance, and enthusiasm, this dissertation would not have seen the light of day. The New Netherland Institute in Albany, NY, under the leadership of Drs. Charles Gehring and Janny Venema, and its stimulating annual seminars and publications have been central to my appreciation of the history of New Netherland and colonial New York. It is also impossible to develop an understanding of everyday life in 18 th -century Albany without Dr. Stefan Bielinski’s Colonial Albany Social History Project . I happened upon Eilardus Westerlo through a transcription and translation project of the eighteenth-century records of the First Church in Albany, started by the late Dr. Robert Alexander, the Church’s historian. Bob shared the stories he had gathered about the eighteenth-century Dutch churchgoers in Albany, and his enthusiasm for the Church’s history inspired me to focus on Westerlo. Bob’s successor, Dr. James Folts, donated his time to allow me to do more research in the archives of the First Church. Professor James Tanis generously shared his knowledge of eighteenth-century Reformed theology with me, and I have fond memories of the hours spent at his house discussing Frelinghuysen, Westerlo, and the Dutch Reformed Church. I am especially grateful for his editing support until the very end. Special thanks are due to my father, Kees Naborn, for providing critical assistance along the way. His willingness and ability to edit and proofread all my drafts were crucial for the success of this project. Much of the credit for the readability of this study goes to my wife, Cindy Pronko, who patiently edited the entire text. All my friends and family deserve my thanks for their willing ears, but Cindy, Lars, and JJ provided the mostly unseen, often unsung, but always appreciated everyday support, without which this study would not have been possible. 3 List of illustrations 1.

    1 1 Calvin and Witsius on the Mosaic Covenant J. V. FESKO hen it comes to the Mosaic covenant, an ocean of ink has been spilled by theologians in their efforts to relate it both to WIsrael’s immediate historical context and to the church’s exis- tence in the wake of the advent of Christ. Anthony Burgess (d. 1664), one of the Westminster divines, writes: “I do not find in any point of divinity, learned men so confused and perplexed (being like Abraham’s ram, hung in a bush of briars and brambles by the head) as here.”1 Among the West- minster divines there were a number of views represented in the assembly: the Mosaic covenant was a covenant of works, a mixed covenant of works and grace, a subservient covenant to the covenant of grace, or simply the covenant of grace.2 One can find a similar range of views represented in more recent literature in our own day.3 In the limited amount of space 1.

PROFESSOR HOLM ES R O LSTON II I HE Confession of 1967 in the United Presbyterian Church marks the official end of the four-century Presbyterian venture into covenant theology. Now past that milestone, perhaps we have reached a vantage point where we can turn dispassion• ately to survey that curious but historic route. Seen from its concept of responsible man, we here argue, that route has been a prolonged detour away from the insights of the Reformers. The Westminster Confession remains, of course, the prime con• fessional document of Presbyterians outside the United Church, for instance in the Scots and British parent churches, or with southern cousins in the Presbyterian Church, U.S. Even in the United Church, the Westminster Confession remains in the show• room of creeds. But we have recently seen a breach in the federal scheme so long embraced in Presbyterian confessional statements, a breach that marks the scheme where it yet re• mains officially as a theological anachronism no longer re• garded seriously but to be suffered as historical background. With the hold of federal theology officially broken, we can challenge afresh the assumption that the Calvinism of the Westminster Confession is true to the Reformer himself.

  • The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776
    The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume.

    The American Reformation: The Politics of Religious Liberty, Charleston and New York 1770-1830 by Susanna Christine Linsley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan M Juster, Chair Professor David J. Hancock Professor Mary C. Kelley Associate Professor Mika Lavaque-Manty Assistant Professor Daniel Ramirez © Susanna Christine Linsley 2012 Acknowledgements During one of the more challenging points in the beginning stages of the dissertation project, my advisor, Sue Juster, gave me some advice that I continue to refer to when I find myself in need of guidance. She told me that there was no secret to getting back on track. I just needed to allow myself to take some time and remember why I loved history. This observation was one of the many sage and trenchant insights Sue has offered me throughout graduate school. I cannot thank her enough for providing both such a practical and an inspiring model for scholarship. I have also been fortunate to work with a committee whose brilliance and wisdom is unmatched. Mary Kelley has been a constant source of support throughout my time in Ann Arbor. Her unfailing trust in me and in my project gave me the confidence to push my work in directions I would not have thought possible before I began. David Hancock has always asked good questions, spurring me to think deeply both about context and about broader sets of connections. His own rigorous scholarship and teaching have served as great examples to me.

He married CATALYN VERPLANCK. She died 08 Oct 1708. Notes for DAVIDSE PIETERSE SCHUYLER: David Schuyler by Stefan Bielinski David Pieterse Schuyler was a pioneer member of early Albany's most important New Netherland family. He was born in Holland in 1636, a younger son of German-born Amsterdam baker Pieter Diercks and Geertruy Philips van Schuyler. He spent the first decade and a half of his life in Amsterdam. By the mid-1650s, he had emigrated to New Netherland with his older brother, Philip Pieterse. Settling in Rensselaerswyck, the Schuylers initially were carpenters but quickly found fortune in trading for furs. By 1660, both brothers were listed among the principal fur traders of the community. In 1657, he married Catalina Ver Planck - the daughter of a New Amsterdam trader. Settling along the Albany waterfront near the north gate, David Schuyler traded for furs and for countryside produce. His marriage produced eight children between 1659 and 1678. He was a member and officer of the Albany Dutch Church. After serving in a number of civic positions during the 1660s, '70s, and early 1680s, in 1686, this city father was appointed alderman under the Albany city charter. He served as alderman for the third ward until his death.

  • Saratoga Geography Predestined the Historical Development of Old Saratoga
    13. Saratoga Geography predestined the historical development of Old Saratoga. Long before European colonization, this area—known as Sa-ragh-to-ga by the Mohawks—was a crossroads of Indian paths. North-south traffic flowed along the Hudson-Champlain corridor, and various lakes and rivers allowed for east-west traffic into Vermont and the Mohawk Valley. At one point, a significant Native population thrived here, but a cycle of peace and warfare left the area sparsely settled. Kalm observed the destruction first-hand as he traveled through here in 1749, just a year after the end of King George’s War. Marina services are available at the Schuyler Yacht Basin. Discover downtown Schuylerville and use the Champlain Canalway Trail to explore the Old Saratoga area. Fort Hardy Park Fort Hardy Park is the former site of a 1755 fort/storehouse constructed during the French and Indian War. It was in ruins when British General John Burgoyne surrendered his army to the Americans during the American Revolution in 1777, stacking their arms on the parade grounds of the old fort in ceremonial fashion. However, these are just the last in a long series of conflicts that transpired here. Between 1687 and 1748, at least five armed engagements of varying sizes occurred near here. Old Saratoga was originally occupied by the Mohicans. They took advantage of the vast fisheries here on Fish Creek, abundant wildlife, and the transportation corridor. There is archeological evidence that local tribes had a strong trade economy that extended back 1500 years, etching out extensive trade routes that brought copper, tropical shells, exotic chert and other materials from across North America.
