Book Description
Excerpt from Maryland Toleration, or Sketches of the Early History of Maryland, to the Year 1650 But he records - and it forms a beautiful introduction to our religious history - that during the voyage of exploration, our order was daily to have Prayer with a Psalm. Thus early, as we are here shown, two hun dred and forty-six years ago, when the shores of the Chesapeake were occupied by the wild Indians - and they pagans - and its waters for the first time wafted on their surface the bark of the white man - did prayers and hymns of praise ascend in the name of jesus to the living Gon. It was then, for the first time, that the shores and waters of our noble Bay re sounded with the teachings of God's Holy Word, the Bible, and with the Services of His Worship. These men, the then Governor of Virginia, and those with him, were not unmindful in the wilderness and on the deep, of the god Who has all things in His hands. They were Christ ians, Church of England Christians, who had the book of Common Prayer. They were men who prayed to god daily, and daily offered to Him praise. Thus, with the very first sail of our anglo-saxon race, that ever caught the breeze upon the waters of the Chesapeake - came the Bible and the book of Common Prayer - and men of stout Christian hearts to use them. Our order was daily to have Prayer and a Psalm at which solemnity the poor savages much wondered. It was indeed, under the circumstances, a solemnity. It was no light thing, nor was it done in a corner. The Indian himself saw - and seeing it he wondered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
