Objections:
Obj. 1. It will bee a great wrong to or owne church & countrey to take
away the best people; & we still lay it more open to ye judgmts feared.
Aunsw. 1. The number will be nothing in respect of those yt are
left. 2ly many yt liue to no vse here, more then for their owne priuate
familyes may bee employed to a more como good in another place.
3ly such as are of good vse here may yett be so employed as ye
church shall receiue no losse. and since Christs coming ye church is
to be conceiued as universal wthout distinctio of countryes, so as hee
yt doth good in any one place serves ye church in all places, in
regard of ye vnitye. 4thly it is ye revealed will of God yt ye gospell
should be preached to all nations, and though we know not whether
ye Indians will receiue it or not, yet it is a good worke to observe
Gods will in offering it to ym, for God shall haue glory by it though yy
refuse it.
Object. 2. wee haue feared a judgemt a long tyme, but yet we are
safe; therefore it were better to stay till it come, & either we may flie
then, or if we be ouertaken in it wee may well bee content to suffer
wth such a church as ours is.
Aunsw. It is likely yt this consideracon made ye churches beyond ye
seas as ye Palatinate & Rochel &c to sit still at home, & not looke out
for shelter while yy might haue found it. but ye wofull spectacle of
their ruine may teach us more wisdome to avoid ye plague while it is
foreseene, & not to tarry as yy did till it ouertooke ym. If they were
now at their former liberty, wee may be sure yy would take other
courses for their safety. And though most of ym had miscarried in
their escape, yet it had not bene halfe so miserable to thmselves, or
scandalous to religion, as this desperate backsliding and abjuring ye
truth, wch many of ye auntient professours among ym, & ye whole
posterity that remayne are plunged into.
Object. 3. wee haue here a fruitfull Land wth peace & plenty of all
things.
Aunsw: wee are like to haue as good condicons there in tyme; but
yet we must leaue all this abundance, if it bee not taken fro vs. When
we are in or graues, it will bee all one whether we haue liued in
plenty or in penury, whether we haue dyed in a bed of downe or
lockes of straw. Onely this is ye advantage of ye meane condicon, yt it
is a more freedoe to dye. And ye lesse cofort any haue in ye things of
this world, ye more liberty yy haue to lay vp treasure in heauen.
Obj. 4. wee may perish by ye way or when we coe there, having
hunger or ye sword &c and how vncofortable will it bee to see or
wives & children & friends come to such miserie by or occasion?
Aunsw. Such objections savour too much of ye flesh. Who can
secure himselfe or his fro ye like calamities here? If this course bee
warrantable, we may trust Gods providence for these things. Either
hee will keepe those evills fro vs, or will dispose ym for or good &
enable vs to beare ym.
Obj. 5. But what warrant haue we to take yt land, wch is & hath
bene of long tyme possessed of others ye sons of Adam?
Aunsw. That wch is como to all is proper to none. This Savage
people ruleth ouer many lands wthout title or property: for yy inclose
no ground, neither haue yy cattell to maintayne it, but remooue their
dwellings as yy haue occasion, or as yy can prevaile agt their
neighbours. And why may not Christians haue liberty to go & dwell
amongst ym in their wast lands & woodds (leaving ym such places as
yy haue manured for their corne) as lawfully, as Abraham did
amongst ye Sodomites? For God hath giuen to ye sons of men a 2
fould right to ye earth: there is a naturall right & a civill right. The first
right was naturall when men held ye earth in como, every man
sowing & seeding where hee pleased: then, as men and cattell
increased, yy appropriated some parcells of ground by enclosing &
peculiar manurance, & this in tyme got ym a civill right. Such was ye
right wch Ephron ye Hittite had in ye field of Machpelah, wherein
Abraham could not bury a dead corps wthout leaue, though for ye
outparts of ye countrey wch lay comon, hee dwelt vpo ym & tooke ye
fruit of ym at his pleasure. This appeares also in Jacob & his sons
who fedd their flocks as bouldly in ye Canaanites Land for hee is said
to bee Lord of ye countrey; & at Dotham and all other places men
accounted nothing their owne, but yt wch yy had appropriated by their
owne industry, as appeares plainly by Abimelechs servaunts, who in
their owne countrey did often contend wth Isaacks servaunts about
wells wch yy had digged; but neuer about ye lands wch yy occupied. So
likewise betweene Jacob & Laban: hee would not take a kidd of
Labans wthout speciall contract; but hee makes no bargaine wth him
for ye land where yy fedd. And it is probable yt if ye countrey had not
bene as free for Jacob as for Laban, yt covetous wretch would haue
made his advantage of him, & haue vpbraided Jacob wth it as hee
did wth ye rest. 2dly there is more then enough for ym & vs. 3dly God
hath consumed ye natives wth a miraculous plague, whereby ye
greater part of ye countrey is left void of inhabitants. 4ly, we shall coe
in wth good leaue of ye natiues.
Obj. 6. we shall send or young ones & such as may best bee
spared, & not of ye best of or ministers & magistrates.
Aunsw. It is a great worke & requires more skilfull Artisans to lay ye
foundacon of a new building, then to uphoald & repayre one yt is
already built. If great things bee attempted by weake instrumts, ye
effects will bee aunswerable.
Obj. 7. Wee see yt those plantacons yt haue bene formerly made,
succeeded ill.
Aunsw. 1 The fruit of any publique designe is not to bee discerned
by ye imediat successe: it may appeare in tyme, yt yy were all to good
vse. 2dly, there were great fundamentall errours in others wch are like
to bee avoided in this: for 1 their mayne end & purpose was carnall &
not religious. 2 yy aymed chiefely at profitt & not at ye propagacon of
religion. 3 yy vsed too vnfitt instrumts, a multitude of rude vngoverned
persons, ye very scums of ye Land. 4 yy did not stablish a right
fourme of gouernmt.
