Hi s words were prophet ic , for his successor was Reve rend J ohn Lothropp. Two yea rs l ater, Jacob was dead.
Reverend John gave up much in relinquishing the comf o r t s o f theestablished church. In doing so, however, Re ve re n d Joh n had gainedsomething else, the love and supp or t o f h is fel low Puritans, who"covenanted together", a n d wh o care d for a nd supported all the familiesin the c on grega tion. O ne of th e members of the congregation, Jo h n Perry, had bee n imprison ed for his religious beliefs , a nd when h e refuse d torenounc e those beliefs at his t rial , had bee n sentence d to death . He wasthen the fathe r o f four daugh ters, non e older tha n four. In his lastl ette r to the cong regation b efore his ex ecution, he ha d charg ed them totak e care of hi s family acco rding to t he tradi tions of the C ongregational church so tha t he mi ght mee t his fate, crue l as it may be , with an easyh ear t. Ther e is evidence to s uggest that hi s widow is the w o man wh o wouldone day becom e Reverend John 's second wif e, An ne.
Of all the English politicians who were to persecut e t h e P u ritans, themost infamous of them was William La ud , Bi sho p o f London, and laterArchbishop of Canterbur y an d eve ntua ll y Prime Minister of England. DanielNeal , in h is His tor y o f the Puritans published in 1822, say s thi s of him:
"He was a little man, of a quick and rough temper, impa t i e n t ofcontradiction, of arbitrary principles both i n ch ur c h a nd state, andalways inclined to methods of se verit y , es peci ally against the Puritans.In matters of d ivin e wo rship , h e was vastly fond of external pomp andc eremo ny."
In order to advance his own political power, Laud wou l d s e n d bands ofdeputies into London in search of Purit a n pla c e s of worship, with ordersto seize gatherings o f m ore th a n f ive people worshipping outside of theestab lish ed chur ch . O n April 22, 1632, Reverend John's congr egati on meta s us ua l for worship, and a band of deputie s seize d him an d 4 2 o f hisfollowers. They were imprison ed in a n establis hmen t kn own as "the Clink".Located und erground , bounded o n on e sid e by the River Thames and o n theothe r by an ope n sewe r, th e Clink was a place of f ilth and w retchedness, so loat hed b y its inhabitants tha t its nam e has come dow n to us t hrough the centuries a s standing f or all places o f incarcer ation.
On May 3, Lothropp and his followers were brought fo r t r i a l before theCourt of the High Commission. So hein ou s we r e t heir crimes, and sothreatening was the work o f R evere n d Joh n to the authorities, that thetrial was p rose cute d b y Willi am Laud himself, who sought to make a nexam ple o f Lo thropp f or all England to see. The tria l center ed aro und t hedeman d of the Court that Lothrop p and his f ollower s tak e an oat h ofloyalty to the Churc h of England . Yet ne ithe r Lothrop p or any of hisfollowe rs consente d to take t his o ath, and t he records of th e trial,includ ing the word s of B ishop Lau d and Reveren d Lothropp, stan d as vividtes timon y to the str ength o f the congregation' s beliefs an d the in abilityof th e au thorities, for all t heir power, t o compe l any to renou n ce them.
Laud's examination of Lothropp was as follows:
First Laud speaks, his words filled with sarcasm: "H o w m a n y women satcross legged on the bed whilst you sa t o n o n e si de and preached andprayed most devoutly?"
Lothropp replies, quietly, not proudly: "I keep no su c h e v i l company.They were not such women."
Laud continues: "Are you a minister?"
Lothropp replies: "I am."
Laud: "How are you a minister and by whom are you quali f i e d ?"
Lothropp replies, again quietly: "I am a minister o f t h e G o spel of Christand the Lord hath qualified me."
Laud: "Will you lay your hand on the book and take th e o a t h ?"
Lothropp refuses
Laud, again sarcastically, asks Lothropp to produce a l i c e n se from God:"Mr. Lothropp, you say that the Lord ha t h q ua li fied you? What authority,what orders have you ? Th e Lo r d hat h qualified you - is that a sufficientans wer ? You m us t giv e a better answer before you and I par t."
Reverend John replies: "I do not know that I have don e a n y t hing whichmight cause me justly to be brought bef or e t h e ju dgment ... of man" (andagain refuses to tak e th e oat h.)
Whereupon William Laud and the Archbishop of York cri e d a n g rily inunison: "If he will not take the oath, th e n awa y w it h him!"
Reverend John, however, had the last word: "I desir e t h a t t his otherpassage be remembered, that I dare no t ta k e th is o ath."
After Lothropp, all the members of the congregation w e r e b r ought totrial, all refused to take the oath of lo ya lt y t o t he established church,and all were imprisone d wi t h him . Th e names of some of these people comedow n to u s : Samue l Eato n, Sara Jones, Sara Jacob, Marke Lu cas, Jo hn Ireland , Tony T albot, William Pickering, Mabe l Milbour ne , Willia m Atwood,H enry Dodd, Humphrey Barnet . By the s pri ng of 163 4, all ha d beenreleased, and on A pril 24, 16 34 , Reverend J ohn was al so released, on thec ondition tha t h e appear in c ourt to tak e the oath of lo yalty to thee stab lished church . He had no i ntention o f doing so, fo r by no w he haddecide d to remove hi s fami ly and friend s from hi s church to th e New World
Finally, around August 1, 1634, Reverend John set s a i l f o r the Colony ofPlymouth on the ship "the Griffin " , wi th h i s family and thirty of hisfollowers. They arr iv ed i n Bost o n on September 18, 1634, and promptlysettl e d in Sc ituate , w here Reverend John had been called t o le ad acong regatio n o f people, many of whom had worshi ppe d with hi m at the F irst Independent Church in London . The se were un settled yea rs fo r the group,however. Th e peopl e of Scitua te were at o dds ov er matters of relig iousauth ority, parti cularly bapti sm. I n addition, Scitu ate was s hort oncultiv able land, wit h inad equate forag e for the l eading cash cr op of thetime , cattle . Consequ ently, his c ongregation wa s beleaguered , eager tor esett le in a plac e where prosperi ty might com e more readil y . On April27,1 637, Reverend Joh n noted in hi s diary th is pr oblem and p reached tohis cong regation fro m Genesis:
And Abram said unto Lot "Let there be no strife bet w e e n m e and thee, norbetween my herdsmen and thy herdsm e n , fo r w e are brethren. Is not thewhole of the land be fo r e us ? Sepa rate thyself, I pray thee, from me. Iftho u wi l l tak e the le ft hand, then I will go to the right . O r i f thouwi ll depar t to the right hand, then I wil l go t o th e left."
Consequently, in 1638 Reverend John petitioned the Gov e r n o r of the colonyfor land. Two of his letters to th e Go ve rn or , dated February 18, 1638 andJuly 28, 1638, a re pr ese rve d w ith the papers of Governor Winslow. Theys how Re vere nd J oh n to be an articulate advocate of his c ongrega tion' sinte res ts, aware of the political forces i n the co lony a nd abl e to influence them to reach his goa ls. In Ja nuary , 1639, l and w as granted tothe group in S ippican, n ear wh at is no w Wareha m, Massachusetts. Thi s landwas no t entire ly suitab le, howev er, and Mattakees et, now know n asBarnst able, offe red bette r circumstance s, includin g some of th e finestlan d in the co lony for a griculture a nd grazing. O n June 16, 1 639 havingbe en gra nted land i n Barnstable, th erefore the c ongregation d ec ided tomov e there, and prepar ations for th e move began.
On October 11, 1639, 350 years ago this week, Revere n d J o h n and hisfollowers arrived in Barnstable. This su re ly r ep re sented the fruition ofhis life's work, for th e f ourte e n yea rs that followed were years of peacefor h im a nd o f pr osperi ty for his congregation. When they ar rive d inBa rnsta ble, th ey found the marshes full of sal t ha y for the ir cat tle, the shores teeming with fish an d shel lfish, an d the wo ods and s ky alive withgame. With in thre e years th ey had bu ilt good q uality frame home s forever y family, an d during t he fourth y ear, they bui lt a secon d largerhous e for the Lo thropp famil y, whic h also serve d as their pla ce ofworship . Most importa ntl y, Reverend J ohn proved a st rong and capa bleleader, bo t h secular an d religious. He wa s an excellen t businessm an,br inging we alth not only to hi mself and hi s family , but to hi s neig hborsas well. He kep t peace amon g hi s followers, reso lvi ng disputes bycomprom ise, not arbi t ration, and leadin g h is congregation by qui etexample, n o t exhortation. H e was pr ofoundly tolerant i n a time of into lerance, and e asily attra cted new follower s to hi s church . Amos Otis,t he historian o f Barnstable, r eport ed in 188 8 on these ye ars as follows:
"Mr. Lothropp fearlessly proclaimed in Old and New En g l a n d the greattruth that man is not responsible to hi s f el l o w man in matters of faithand conscience. Durin g th e fou rt ee n years that he was the pastor of theBarns tabl e churc h , suc h was his influence over the people th at th e power o f the ci vil magistrate was not needed to r estrai n crime . N o pasto r wasever more beloved by his pe ople, n one eve r ha d a great er influence forthe good. Mr . Lothro pp was a s dis tinguishe d for his worldly wisdo m as forhi s piety. H e wa s a good bus inessman, and so we re all hi s sons. Where ever y one of the f amily pitched h is tent, t hat spot becam e th e center ofbusin ess, and th e land in t he vicinity app recia ted in value. I t is ment hat make a p lace, and to Mr . Lothr opp in early tim es, w e are moreind ebted than to an y othe r family."
These were also years full of the joys and struggle s a n d s o rrows of hislife. While in Barnstable, Reveren d Jo h n bapt iz ed 136 infants, includingfour of his own c hildr e n and se ve n of his grandchildren. He saw his twoe ldes t da ughters , Jan e and Barbara, married by Captain M yle s Stand ish tome n fro m other parts of the colony, lea ve B arnstabl e for liv es o f theirown. He witnessed the d eat h in infanc y of his y ounge st son. He witnessedthe ep idem ics of 1641 , 1647 and 1 649, w hich spread to every f amil y inBarnstabl e and claime d the li ves of young and o ld al ike.
He also gave much thought to his native country, fo r t h e c o lonists werejust that; the new nation in Americ a h a d no t ye t been born. Reverend Johnand his congregat io n we re En glish , and they loved and probably missedthe i r homel and ve ry muc h. Reverend John's diary is full o f n otations about t he reli gious upheaval in England, th e war s with Ir eland an dScotlan d, and the civil war whic h ren t the count ry durin g the earl yseventeenth century . His c ongregatio n prayed fr equently fo r England inthes e trial s and gave t hanks when t he tidings w ere good. Re verend J ohnalso learn ed of the eve ntual downfal l of hi s nemesis , William Laud, Bishop of Lond on, who was re mov ed from of fice, imprisoned , and finally,i n 1644, execut e d.
Reverend John's diary also records his own failing he a l t h a nd the burdensof his life during these years, evi de n t i n hi s writings as early as 1641,twelve years befo r e hi s de ath . But his life's work was well accomplished b y thi s tim e an d certainly by the time of his death. H i s belove dcommu nit y was thriving and at peace, and hi s ch ildren an d hisgr andc hildren were creating familie s of th eir own. A nd wha t famil ies theyproved to be. Fro m thes e lines hav e come me n and wo men who have shapedth e time s in which th ey lived a s profoun dly as Reverend J ohn sha ped his.Grea t religious l eaders w e would expec t from thi s family, inc ludingJoseph S mith, th e pionee r and founde r of the Mormo n church, and th esecond R ever end John Lath rop, the grea t Congregational mi nister of r evolutionary t imes and pasto r of the Old North C hurc h in Bo ston. Great soldiers and gr eat statesmen have al s o arisen fr om thi s family. UlyssesS . Grant, commanding g e neral of th e Uni on Army and later P resident of theUnit ed S tates, did m or e than any man excep t Abraham Lincol n to def eatslaver y i n this country and sa ve the natio n in its tim e of gre atests trife. Franklin Roo sevelt le d our nation thr ough t he Grea t Depressionand th e Secon d World War. Olive r Wend el Holme s created much o f moder njurisprudence. Othe r sta tesmen of t his family inc lud e John Foster Dulles,Alle n D ulles, Adlai S tevenson II I , Sir Robert Borden, Thomas D e wey,George Romney , Kingm a n Brewster, George Kennan, Way n e Morse, and thepres en t oc cupant of the White House, Ge org e Bush. Reverend Joh n 's l inehas also produced great b usine ssmen, great arti sts a n d designers, greatphysician s and in ventors and sc ientist s . Among them are:
Jane Lathrop Stanford and Leland Stanford (builde r o f t h e S outhernPacific Railroad and founders of Stanf or d Univ er sit y ) Alfred Fuller (founder of the Fuller B rus h Compa ny ) Mar jorie Merriweather Post (founder of Ge nera l Foods ) J. P. Mor gan, the great financier Frederic k La w Olmstea d ( th e great est of American landscape arc hitec ts ) Loui s Comfor t Tiffan y, the great designer Hen ry Wad sworth Lon gfellow , the grea t poet Louis Auchinclo ss, th e novelist C harles I ves, the gr eat composer Georg ia O'Ke efe, the grea t contemp orary artis t Benjamin Spoc k, the g reat physicia n and educa tor Eli Whit ney, the in ventor o f the cotton gin
Let us bear in mind, however, at this time of remembe r i n g a ll that haspast before us in this family, and ref le ct in g o n the accomplishments ofthe past, that Reveren d J oh n wo ul d take no great pleasure in knowing thatwe r emem be r hi m her e today. Rather he would take pride in k nowin g t hathi s wor k has been carried forward through th e succ eedi ng gen eratio ns, andthat his grandchildren's g randchi ldren , and t heir gr andchildren, andtheirs, hav e worked a nd fou ght an d sacrific ed to make this countr y abeacon t o the wo rld. Le t us resolv e together today , then, oursel ves totak e no sat isfaction i n the deeds o f our ancestors , but to r edouble o urown effort s to mak e the world a bet ter place , and to ris e to whatever chal lenges our own liv es presen t to us.
Let me close, then, with the words of Charles Lathr o p , t h e historian ofthe Connecticut branch of our famil y , a s h e d escribes Reverend Johndeparting England on t h e ship , th e Gr iffin with his family and hisfollowers , se tting s ail f or a n unknown life in an unknown land o n the other si de o f the w orld.
"In any event, Reverend John got his own family and fr i e n d s on shipboard,the number of which comprised one th i r d o f a ll the passengers in thecrowded quarters (aboa r d sh ip) . A s the Griffin finally cleared the coastand p u t ou t to s ea , and ... (as) Rev. John watched the reced in g sho relineo f E ngland from the deck, he must have fel t t hat h e was lea vin g behindhim all that he had know n a s a way o f life. (Bu t) h e was taking with him,as we l l , our own pa rticular for tune s as a family, and separ at ing us,virtuall y forever, fr om hi s own brothers and s ist ers, of which th ere werestil l some 1 5 still alive, w ho h ad stemmed with h im from Yorks hire andw ere scattere d abo ut his homeland, n ow fading in t he distanc e.
Aside from our fortunes as a family, however, he was br i n g i ng with himwhat was in every sense a revolution - b a s e d o n a new Congregational(philosophy and) opposed t o r it ua l an d dogma - and which we have seenindefatigabl y ca rri e d on, m ore often than not with grimness and str ife,t hrou g h all th e ensuing generations even unto our o wn."
