Golden Age Dutch Republic, 1609-1648 First Era of Liberty, 1650-1672 Refugees of Conscience Huguenots A Haven for Refugees : the Dutch Republic One of the reasons for the Dutch to revolt against Spanish rule was the harsh treatment given to religious dissenters by the Spanish authorities - they burnt so-called heretics at the stake. By 1600, the Dutch Republic was firmly established and economically prospering. While wars over religion were fought in many regions of Europe, and religious minorities were persecuted according to slogans such as un roi, un loi, un foi (a king, a law, a belief) or huius regio eius religio (in whose territory you live, his religion you have), the Dutch Republic, a state in which (Calvinist) Protestantism was state religion, practiced religious TOLERANCE, i.e. everybody was permitted to practice his faith no matter if it was conform with the state religion or not, as long as he did not break the country's laws. Many of the Dutch burghers, during the long years of the Dutch War of Independence (1568-1648) had lved in exile, mostly in EMDEN. They new the hardship refugees had to go through, but also the economic potential of refugees. The majority of AMSTERDAM's citizens of 1600 originated from ANTWERP, which was taken and sacked by the Spanish in 1585. Amsterdam's diamond cutting trade was established there by refugees from Antwerp. Refugees arrived from elsewhere, Jews from Spain and Portugal, the most famous being philosopher BARUCH SPINOZA, Puritans from England who in 1620 would sail to Massachusetts; for years the PILGRIM FATHERS community lived in Rotterdam. Czech educator JAN AMOS COMENIUS settled in the Netherlands, as did French philosopher RENE DESCARTES for a while.

The Pilgrim Fathers T he story of the Mayflower and the small band of religious dissidents who boarded her in the hope of finding freedom in the New World must be one of the best-known tales in history. D etermined to win the right to worship according to their own consciences, 101 men, women and children set out from Plymouth, England on a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Their intended destination was the British colony of Virginia but the Mayflower was blown around 500 miles off course and they finally took shelter in a natural harbour at what later became Provincetown, Massachusetts. A fter exploring the area, the travellers disembarked near the head of Cape Cod on December 21, 1620 but arguments had broken out between them over how the colony they intended to found should be governed. This led to the formulation of a binding agreement known as the Mayflower Compact which was effectively the first constitution to be written in America. N ow a unified group, the passengers of the

The Pilgrim Fathers By Maureen Storey T his article was originally published in the December 2000 edition of Soul Search, the journal of The Sole Society. The theme of the Society’s annual meeting in October was migration and this prompted me to find out more about the most famous group of emigrants to include a Soule – the group that has become known as the Pilgrim Fathers. The voyage across the Atlantic took 65 days and, considering they had left England much later in the year than originally intended, the weather wasn’t too bad though they did suffer one serious storm, which caused some damage to the ship. The Mayflower was a cargo vessel and not intended to carry such a large number of people so conditions aboard must have been bad but it completed the voyage with the same number of passengers that it had started with – there had been two deaths in the 65 days but two boys had been born. On 19 November the ship sighted land and finally dropped anchor off Cape Cod at what is now called Provincetown on 21 November. The Pilgrims were now presented with a dilemma – although they had made landfall in America, for some reason that has never been determined the Mayflower’s captain had brought them to the wrong place – they were several hundred miles from the land granted to them in their patents and they had no legal right to settle where they were. The argument as to whether they should stay put regardless or demand that the captain took them on led to a near mutiny. The result of the heated debate that followed was the written agreement signed by all the male emigrants that was to become known as the Mayflower Compact. This document, based on a Separatist church covenant, became the basis of the government of the community and is nowadays regards as the USA’s first state paper. In it the colonists agreed to abide by the rules made by the community and to elect a leader, with all the men having an equal say in the decisions. Their first decision was to stay put.

Page 289 Chapter 16 The Pilgrim Fathers The English Reformers, while renouncing the doctrines of Romanism, had retained many of its forms. Thus though the authority and the creed of Rome were rejected, not a few of her customs and ceremonies were incorporated into the worship of the Church of England. It was claimed that these things were not matters of conscience; that though they were not commanded in Scripture, and hence were nonessential, yet not being forbidden, they were not intrinsically evil. Their observance tended to narrow the gulf which separated the reformed churches from Rome, and it was urged that they would promote the acceptance of the Protestant faith by Romanists. To the conservative and compromising, these arguments seemed conclusive. But there was another class that did not so judge. The fact that these customs "tended to bridge over the chasm between Rome and the Reformation" (Martyn, volume 5, page 22), was in their view a conclusive argument against retaining them. They looked upon them as badges of the slavery from which they had been delivered and to which they had no disposition to return. They reasoned that God has in His word established the regulations governing His worship, and that men are not at liberty to add to these or to detract from them. The very beginning of the great apostasy was in seeking to supplement the authority of God by Page 290 that of the church. Rome began by enjoining what God had not forbidden, and she ended by forbidding what He had explicitly enjoined.

Times Separatists Escape to Holland A utumn 1608 A Puritan Separatists' group formed in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, and led by William Brewster, have escaped to Holland without royal permission. After enduring prison in England and uncertain sea voyages, the group were hoping to settle in Amsterdam. S ome Separatists embarked last spring from a quiet spot on the East coast between Grimsby and Hull in a Dutch ship, arriving in Holland after enduring a terrible sea journey all of 14 days later. The women and children left behind were all arrested but the constables did not know what to do with them and they were eventually released to join their menfolk in Amsterdam. The Scrooby group have joined the members of Rev. John Smith's Gainsborough Separatists who moved to Amsterdam a year ago. Puritans T he Separatists were part of the Puritan movement who want to purify the church, carry reformation beyond the Act of Uniformity (1559) that orders every minister to use the Book of Common Prayer. They believed in freedom of worship and the simplicity of religious life, wanting more emphasis on preaching than ritual or doctrine.

PILGRIM FATHERS Brian Moseley's PLYMOUTH DATA Website www.plymouthdata.info The group that much later became known as the Pilgrim Fathers were separatists from the Church of England. They came from Nottinghamshire and left the Church of England in 1606 to form their own church. Because of continued persecution by the authorities, the congregation fled to Holland, where, in Leiden, they found the toleration they sought to worship as they chose. Although they remained here for some eleven years, conditions were poor and they realised that their children were growing up to be Dutch rather than English so they decided with the backing of a consortium of London merchants to emigrate to the English colonies in north America, then known collectively as Virginia after the virgin queen, Elizabeth I. The "Mayflower" was a 180-ton vessel that had been previously employed in the shipment of wine. She was about 12-years-old when the leader of the Separatist congregation at Leiden in Holland, Mr John Carver, chartered her for a voyage to America. The ship was prepared for the voyage at Southampton, England. It is curious that the ship was not mentioned by name in William Bradford's famous account of the voyage, nor has she been described. In the meantime, another vessel, the 60-ton "Speedwell" set sail from the port of Delftshaven amid tears and prayers on July 22nd 1620 with 35 members of the congregation and their leaders, William Bradford and William Brewster. They joined the "Mayflower" and the English Separatists at Southampton, from where they sailed on August 5th 1620 with about 120 passengers between them.

They are considered as people from England, that sailed to the promised land for a new future. However, few actually know that the Pilgrim Fathers are tied to Holland in a everlasting way, that cannot be neglected. Their true history sheds a surprising light on the faith of these founding fathers. It also gives an insight in the persecution that existed in Protestant England under Queen Elizabeth I.
