INTRODUCTION.
There is not in our land a Diocese so truly historic as Virginia. It was within her borders that the first services of the mother Church were enjoyed in the United States. It was upon her shores that there were undertaken the first efforts to introduce into our country the light of the gospel as it is reflected from our Liturgy and other standards. Within her bounds there are still extant the remains of the first sanctuary built within the limits of the Union. An account of the early work of the Church in Virginia must possess great interest for all who have a regard for what is heroic. A mere outline of its facts will no doubt be read with eagerness by all who sympathize with the Protestant Episcopal Church. They cannot read with unconcern of the first light that was kindled-a mere spark; then grow- ing in warmth and brilliancy, and afterwards becoming feebler and feebler, until it seemed about to expire. They must rejoice in that wondrous grace which raised the kind of men that were needed for the work and then blessed their labors so that, in spite of all that was untoward, the feeble and almost expiring flame was rekindled until the Church in Virginia became, as it is this day, a pillar of fire to her children, and not to them only, but to many who are afar off. It is not with self-complacency, but with humble

gratitude to God, we should read of the days in which the preservation of this Church illustrates most conspicuously the intervention of our fathers' God. She was then like the bush that was burning but never consumed. Now she is the prolific mother of bishops, presbyters, deacons and laymen, whom she has sent abroad to every Diocese in the Union and whose influence is thus felt in parishes from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and upon the distant shores of heathendom.
A full history of the Church in Virginia would necessi- tate the annals of many a community in our own Diocese, in which she has become powerful for service in the Mas- ter's cause; of many a feeble parish in which there has been always a struggle for life. It would, in all fairness, include the history of religion as it has gained a footing and exerted its force in many Dioceses that are now vig- orous. It would require us to follow her children to their isolated homes in our western wilds and to observe the beamings of truth from many a solitary household. It would oblige us to read, and in turns to rejoice and weep over the successes and the sorrows of those who have been gospel pioneers to the savages upon our own soil and to the brutalized of Asia and Africa. Could such a history be fully written out, what a precious volume it would be ! What a record it would furnish of the power of grace, and how it would serve to stimulate the zeal and to quicken the piety of believers everywhere! Even an outline of this history as might be taken from Convention records, is evi-

dently very much desired. For many years the stock of journals of by-gone Virginia Conventions has been ex- hausted. The demand for them from every quarter of the country has been constant. Such a demand it will be the effort of this volume to meet.
It is not proposed in these pages to give a history that will satisfy the antiquarian or the inquisitive, but to fur- nish such a statement of facts as will be of real service to the laymen who are in our Annual Councils; to the clergy, who for many reasons ought to be posted in the events of Virginia Church history, and to our postulants and candi- dates who might well be encouraged to increase their interest in the times of Madison, Moore and Meade, whilst not feel- ing less interest in the times of Irenæus, Augustine and Origen.
THE FOUNDING OF THE CHURCH IN VIRGINIA.
In some degree this chapter is a departure from the author's intention. It will be inserted as a brief state- ment preliminary to the full list of colonial clergy. The first religious service in Virginia was held at Jamestown on the 14th of May, 1607. The charter to the London Company to found a colony in Virginia was issued on the 10th of April, 1606. Amongst those who were petitioners to the King for the grant of this charter was the Rev. Robert Hunt, a clergyman of the Church of England. The colonists embarked on the 19th of December, 1606, and landed at Jamestown on the 13th of May, 1607. Dissen- sions of a dangerous character had arisen between prominent men in the colony. Through the judicious intervention of Mr. Hunt the strife was healed, and on the 14th of May, 1607, they all united in the worship to which they had been accustomed in England, and the parties lately at variance knelt together in receiving the Holy Communion.
Under such auspices was the colony inaugurated and the foundation laid for the Church in Virginia.
In the next year, 1608, occurred the first marriage service ever performed in Virginia, the Rev. Mr. Hunt being the officiating clergyman.
One of the first matters engaging the efforts of the colo- nists was the erection of a church. It seems to have been done very promptly. It was an humble building, but was set apart for the worship of Almighty God. In a few months it was consumed by a fire which destroyed the place. The character of the Rev. Mr. Hunt came out most nobly in
1 2

this distressing time. The fire burnt up all that he had- shelter, clothing and books. The colonists were disheart- ened, not only by this catastrophe, but by their many other adversities. Disease had, in the short space of four months, taken off one-half their number. But for the example of Mr. Hunt they would probably have given way entirely to their depressions. The minister's faith and hope rose with the occasion. By exhortation and example he encouraged them to set to work again. In the spring of 1608, the town was rebuilt and a new and substantial church erected. Travelers upon James river can still perceive upon the shore at Jamestown island the ruins of the brick tower which once formed a part of this building.
The Rev. Mr. Hunt, who seems to have been a man of great holiness and pious enthusiasm, was the only minister in Virginia for three years. The next clerical arrival was the Rev. Richard Bucke, who came over with Lord De La War. The arrival of this nobleman led to a change in the government of the colony ; up to this time it had been in the hands of a president and council. In the charter it was ordained that no one should have the privilege of in- gress into Virginia, unless he should first take the oath of supremacy. The object was to keep out every invasion of Romanism. With the exception of this prohibition of popery the colonists were not subjected to any other enact- ments in the way of religion, except the general require- ments of conformity to the Church of England.
Lord De La War's régime was marked by prudence, and had a good effect upon the interests of the colony. His health failed, however, after he had charge but a few months. In May, 1611, he resigned the government into the hands of Sir Thomas Dale. It was under this adminis- tration that penal enactments were instituted in connection with religion. The idea was perhaps to ensure good order,

industry and all the accompaniments of a high order of piety, and hence, in order to make the colonists decidedly religious, martial law was declared in connection with the Church.
It is not worth while to reproduce the laws-literatim- but the substance of them is given.
The first required "all captaines and officers, of what qualitie or nature soever, to have a care that Almightie God bee duly and daily served; that they call vpon their people to heare sermons ; that they diligently frequent morning and evening praier themselves, *
* encouraging others thereto, and that such who shall often and wilfully absent them- selves, be duly punished according to the martiall law in that case provided."
The second forbids, upon pain of death, to "speake impi- ously or maliciously against the holy and blessed Trinitie, or any of the Three Persons, * or against the known articles of the Christian faith."
The third forbids profanity "vpon paine of severe punish- ment for the first offence so committed, and for the second to have a bodkin thrust through his tongue, for the third to be brought to a martiall court and there receive censure of death for his offence."
The fifth forbids, "vpon paine of death," to "speake any word, or do any act which may tend to the derision or de- spight of God's Holy Word." It also condemns any one who shall "vnworthily demeane himself vnto any preacher or minister of the word of God, to be whipt openly three times and aske public forgiveness in the assembly of the congregation three severall Sabboth daies."
The sixth, "euerie man and woman duly twice aday vpon the first towling of the bell, shall vpon the working daies repaire vnto the church to heare diuine service vpon paine of losing his or her daye's allowance for the first omis-
4

sion, for the second to be whipt, and for the third to be con- demned to the gallies for six months. Likewise no man or woman shall dare to violate or breake the Sabboth by any gaming, publique or private, abroad or at home, but duly sanctifie and obserue the same by preparing themselves at home by priuate praier that they may be the better fitted for the publique according to the Commandments of God and the orders of our Church; as also euerie man and woman shall repaire in the morning to diuine seruice and sermons preached vpon the Sabboth daie, and in the after- noon to diuine service and catechising; vpon paine for the first fault to lose their prouision and allowance for the whole weeke following ; for the second to lose the said allowance, and also to be whipt; and for the third to suffer death."
The seventh enjoins upon all ministers, diligence in preaching every Sabboth morning and catechising in the afternoon; to "say the diuine seruice twice euery Daie in the weeke and preach euerie Wednesday ;" * * "to chusse vnto him foure of the most religious and better dis- posed" to keep watch over the people and to keep the church in repair; "likewise euerie minister shall keep a faithfull and true record or church booke of all christen- ings, &c., &c., vpon the burthen of a neglectfull conscience and vpon paine of losing their entertainment."
The thirty-third makes it the duty of every man or wo- man in the colony to hold conference with the minister. If he finds them not properly instructed in religion they must often seek him for advice. "The governour shall cause the offender for the first time to be whipt; for the second time to be whipt twice, and to acknowledge his fault vpon the Sabboth daie in the assembly of the Congregation; and for the third time to be whipt eueri daie vntil he hath made the same acknowledgement, and asked forgiuenesse of the same; and shall repaire vnto the minister to be further
.

instructed as aforesaid; and vpon the Sabboth when the minister shall catechise and of him demand any question concerning his faith and knowledge he shall not refvse to make answer vpon the same peril."
We may forbear any criticism upon the intentions of the authority that would promulgate such a code. We cannot disagree in these times as to the want of discreetness in such plans to make men love the Church and worship of God. It is sufficient to say as to the history of those laws that their severity prevented their enforcement. The gov- ernor himself made no effort to carry out their provisions, and if he had made the attempt the people would not have submitted.
The administration of Sir Thomas Dale was very brief. In the same year that he became governor he was succeeded by Sir Thomas Gates. Dale pushed forward then his indi- vidual enterprises-one of which was the building of Hen- rico town. This was at a point about twelve miles below Richmond, commonly known as Varina, but will be more easily identified by the name of Aiken's Landing, which became historic in the civil war, having been selected as the place of meeting of commissioners for exchange of Federal and Confederate prisoners. A church was built here and placed under the charge of the Rev. Alexander Whittaker. This minister seems, like Mr. Hunt, to have been a Chris- tian of great piety and devotion. He was truly missionary in his spirit, and addressed the most stirring appeals to the clergy of England to take part in the work of evangeliza- tion then going on in Virginia. It was by this good man that Pocahontas was baptized, and afterwards united in marriage to Mr. Rolfe.
In the year 1616, there were three parishes founded and settled as follows :
Henrico and Bermuda Hundred, Rev. Mr. Whittaker. Jamestown, Rev. Mr. Bucke.
6
THE FOUNDING OF THE CHURCH IN VIRGINIA.
Dr. Hawks and Bishop Meade speak also of the Rev. Mr. Wickham at this time. Bishop Meade refers to him as the curate of Mr. Whittaker. It is probable, however, that they are mistaken. He is elsewhere referred to as "a pious man without Episcopal ordination," who conducted the services at Henrico after the death of Rev. Mr. Whittaker. Prior to the minister's decease, which occurred in the spring of 1617, he was quite certainly a lay assistant, and afterwards the ad- ministrator of parish affairs in the capacity of lay reader.
Up to 1619, the whole number of clergy who had come to the colony was seven, viz: Messrs. Hunt, Bucke, Glover, Whittaker, Keith, Mease and Bargrave.
In 1619 Messrs. Hunt, Glover and Whittaker were dead. The clergy in Virginia were-
Rev. Richard Bucke, in charge of Jamestown church.
Rev. George Keith, in charge of Elizabeth City parish.
Rev. Thomas Bargrave, in charge of Henrico and Ber- muda Hundred.
Rev. William Mease, who seems to have had no ministe- rial cure.
These are the only ordained ministers of whom I can find a reliable account up to this time. Bishop Meade and Dr. Hawks mention the Rev. Mr. Stockham. The name, how- ever, seems to have been confused with that of another cler- gyman, the Rev. Jonah Stockton, who came to Virginia in January, 1621.
· I have endeavored to observe especial accuracy in the records of this year, for it is a memorable one. It witnessed the first meeting of the Assembly of Virginia. In obedi- ence to a call from the Governor, Sir George Grandby, this body convened in the church at Jamestown. The session was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Bucke, and the en- actments of the Legislature formally established the Church of England in Virginia.
