WILLIAM BRADFORD (1589/90 - May 9, 1657)
Second Signer of the Mayflower Compact
"And seeing it hath pleased him [God] to see 30 years compleated since these beginnings ; . . I have thought it not unworthy my paines to take a view of the decreas- ings and increasings of these persons . It may be of some use to such as come after ;

. . . all great, and honourable actions, are accom- panied with great difficulties; and must be, both enter- prised, and overcome with answerable courages . . . it might be sundrie of the things feared, might never befale; others by providente care and the use of good means, might in a great measure be prevented ; and all of them (through the help of God) by fortitude, and patience, might either be borne, or overcome."

WILLIAM BRADFORD
"William Bradford . deserves the pre-eminence of being called the father of American history."1
Born in Austerfield, Yorkshire, England, he joined the group of Separatists at the age of seventeen. He was only thirty-two when he came to Plymouth with the Mayflower Pilgrims. From 1621 to 1657, a period of thirty-six years, he was annually elected Governor of the Colony (but for five occasions when he "by importunity got off.")
From 1630 to 1650, in spare time, he wrote the famous History of Plimoth Plantation. Nathaniel Morton Brad- ford's nephew, used this book in compiling New Englands Memoriall, published in 1669. Later, Thomas Prince used it in his Chronological History of New England. Prince left the Bradford manuscript in his library in the tower of Old South Church, on Washington Street, Boston, where Thomas Hutchinson referred to it for his History of Massachusetts Bay." For eighty years (1775 to 1855) the manuscript was lost, until finally discovered in the Fulham Library of the Bishop of London. It is now in a glass case at the State Library, State House, in Boston, Massa- chusetts.
"Bradford had every qualification of a trustworthy nar- rator. His mind was placid, grave, well-poised ; he was a student of many books and five foreign languages (Dutch, French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew) and was able to tell the truth of history as it had unfolded itself during his own strenuous and benignant career."
His liberalism much impressed the Jesuit, Father Druilette, who was entertained by him with a fish dinner one Friday in 1650.ª
Among his items of clothing were these: "a red waist- coat, a turkey grosgrain suit, silver buttons, a colored hat, and a violet cloak."

"Being thus arived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven, who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean . And no marvell if they were thus joyefull, seeing wise Seneca was so affected with sailing a few miles on the coast of his owne Italy ; as he affirmed, that he had rather remaine twentie years on his way by land, then pass by sea to any place in a short time; so tedious and dreadfull was the same unto him . . Being thus passed the vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before in their preparation . . . they had now no freinds to wellcome
them, no inns to entertaine or refresh their weatherbeaten bodys, no houses or much less townes to repaire too And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of that cuntrie know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to cruell and feirce stormes What could now sustaine them but the spirite of God and his grace ? May not and ought not the children of these fathers rightly say: Our faithers were English men which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this willdernes, but they cried unto the Lord, and he heard their voyce, and looked on their adversitie . . . Let them confess before the Lord his loving kindnes, and his wonderfull works before the sons of men."2
The above passages vividly reveal the dynamic, positive- charged faith in God of the Pilgrims, their unswerving confidence that He would guide and strengthen them.

ELDER WILLIAM £ BREWSTER Fourth Signer of the Mayflower Compact (1567 - April 10, 1644)
"Elder Brewster's Prophecy":
"In our heaviest trials has not the Divine Presence ever been with us? . . . Generations to come shall look back to this hour, and these scenes of agonizing trial . . and say :
Here was our beginning as a people.
These were our fathers.
Through their trials we inherit our blessings." (From Rufus Choate's Address of 1843 in New York)

ELDER WILLIAM BREWSTER
William Brewster was regarded as leader of the Pil- grims at Scrooby, England, (near Sherwood Forest), where his father became bailiff of the Manor of Scrooby in 1575, and in 1588 was appointed postmaster by Queen Elizabeth.
In 1580, William entered Peterhouse, in Cambridge, where it is believed he acquired his earliest Separatist ideas. He visited the Netherlands in 1584 and 1585-6, re- turning to Scrooby in 1589. On his father's death in 1590, he was appointed to both the bailiff and postmaster posi- tions, and served in these capacities until the departure for Holland in 1609. In 1591, he married Mary - (maiden name unknown), and they had six children before 1620.
In 1609, at Leyden, Brewster was elder and teacher of the new church, also a printer of Puritan books, for sale in England. (Morton Dexter, in The England and Holland of the Pilgrims, states that William Brewster was a ribbon maker while at Leyden. Presumably there was a local market for ribbons.)
On June 25, 1609, Elder Brewster signed an affidavit giving his age as forty-two, his wife's age as forty, and their son Jonathan's age as sixteen.
He embarked on the Mayflower at London with his wife, his sons, Love and Wrestling, and two boys "bound out" to him.
Although never a minister in the Pilgrim sense, he was the true leader of the church at Plymouth. As an adminis- trator he was second only to Governor William Bradford. In 1627, he became one of the eight who assumed the Colony's debt.
According to the inventory of his property (The May- flower Descendant 3:15-27) he wore a violet-colored coat, black silk stockings, and a ruff, etc.
His library Massachusetts Historical Society Proceed- ings, 2nd ser. 3:261-74; 5:37-85) shows his scholarship in
₩{ 48 }
mary
history, philosophy and religious writings. It contained more than four hundred volumes. A list of his books printed at Leyden is shown in The Mayflower Descendant 23:97-105.
"The Brewster Book," a very old manuscript containing records relating to Elder Brewster, his wife, Mary, son, Jonathan, and his wife, Lucretia, the latter's children, and many of Jonathan's descendants of the early generations, has been copied and printed in The Mayflower Descendant, volumes 1, 2 and 3.
William Bradford characterizes Elder Brewster: "He was the cheefe of those that were taken at Boston, and suffered the greatest loss ; and of the seven that were kept longest in prison, and after bound over to the assises. Affter he came into Holland he suffered much hardship, after he had spente the most of his means, haveing a great charge, and many children; and, in regard of his former breeding and course of life, not so fitt for many imploy- ments as others were, espetially shuch as were toylesume and laborious. But yet he ever bore his condition with much cherfullnes and contentation. Towards the later parte of those 12 years spente in Holland, his outward condition was mended, and he lived well and plentifully ; for he fell into a way (by reason he had the Latine tongue) to teach many students, who had a disire to lerne the English tongue, to teach them English ; and by his method they quickly attained it with great facilitie; for he drew rules to lerne it by, after the Latine manner ; and many gentlemen, both Danes and Germans, resorted to him, as they had time from other studies, some of them being great mens sonnes. He also had means to set up printing, (by help of some freinds,) and so had imploymente inoughg, and by reason of many books which would not be alowed to be printed in England, they might have had more then they could doe. But now removeing into this countrie, all these things were laid aside againe, and a new course of living must be framed unto; in which he was no way un- willing to take his parte, and to bear his burthen with the
{ 49 }++
rest, living many times without bread, or corne, many months together, having many times nothing but fish, and often wanting that also ; and drunke nothing but water for many years together, yea, till within 5 or 6 years of his death. And yet he lived (by the blessing of God) in health till very old age. And besides that, he would labour with his hands in the feilds as long as he was able ; yet when the church had no other minister, he taught twise every Saboth, and that both powerfully and profitably, to the great con- tentment of the hearers, and their comfortable edification; yea, many were brought to God by his ministrie. He did more in this behalfe in a year, then many that have their hundreds a year doe in all their lives. For his personall abilities, he was qualified above many ; he was wise and discreete and well spoken, having a grave and deliberate utterance, of a very cherfull spirite, very sociable and pleasante amongst his freinds, of an humble and modest mind, of a peaceable disposition, under vallewing him self and his owne abilities, and some time over valewing others; inoffencive and innocente in his life and conversation, which gained him the love of those without, as well as those within ; yet he would tell them plainely of their faults and evills, both publickly and privatly, but in shuch a maner as usually was well taken from him. He was tender harted, and compassionate of shuch as were in miserie, but es- petially of shuch as had been of good estate and ranke, and were fallen unto want and proverty, either for goodnes and religions sake, or by the injury and oppression of others ; he would say, of all men these deserved to be pitied most. And none did more offend and displease him then shuch as would hautily and proudly carry and lift up themselves, being rise from nothing, and haveing litle els in them to comend them but a few fine cloaths, or a litle riches more then others. In teaching, he was very moving and stirring of affections, also very plaine and distincte in what he taught; by which means he became the more profitable to the hearers. He had a singular good gift in prayer, both publick and private, in ripping up the hart and conscience before God, in the humble confession of sinne, and begging
₩[ 50 }t
the mercies of God in Christ for the pardon of the same. He always thought it were better for ministers to pray oftener, and devide their preyars, then be longe and tedious in the same (excepte upon sollemne and spetiall occations, as in days of humiliation and the like). His reason was, that the harte and spirits of all, espetialy the weake, could hardly continue and stand bente (as it were) so long towards God, as they ought to doe in that duty, without flagging and falling of. For the governmente of the church, (which was most proper to his office,) he was carfull to preserve good order in the same, and to preserve puritie, both in the doctrine and comunion of the same; and to supress any errour or contention that might begine to rise up amongst them ; and accordingly God gave good success to his indeavors herein all his days, and he saw the fruite of his labours in that behalfe."
