  But this one, as we remember, had the climate of a happier world and the temperature of a day created for marching men--old soldiers who had left their youth and strength behind them, and who were feebler than they knew. I don't know's you did, replied Reuben Oak, after some difficult reflection.

  A Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Venture, a Native of Africa, but Resident above Sixty Years in the United States of America, Related by Himself

summary:
  My eye-sight has gradually failed, till I am almost blind, and whenever I go abroad one of my grand-children must direct my way; besides for many years I have been much pained and troubled with an ulcer on one of my legs. As my old master appeared much ruffled at my being there, I left my wife before I had spent considerable time with her, and went to Colonel O. Smith's.

  Count the Cost An Address to the People of Connecticut, On Sundry Political Subjects, and Particularly on the Proposition for a New Constitution

summary:
  A friend to the rights of man seems to feel no alarm at the idea that one who exhausts his earnings in the grog-shop, should have an influence in elections in proportion to strength of his lungs, or his activity in intrigue, but he is greatly agitated from an apprehension that men who have property to protect, will not promote the well being of society. Men who regard their property, their liberty and their lives, will not yield them a willing sacrifice to the demands of the ambitious and unprincipled--men who faced danger and braved death during a seven years war--men whose veins are warm with the blood of their venerable ancestors who planted this happy state, and defended it amidst innumerable hardships and calamities--men who deem their birthright sacred--their own freedom valuable, and their children dear as their own blood, will not calmly, nor cowardly suffer those who have no claims but their impudence, to storm their fortress and to capture them.

  A plain and faithful narrative of the original design, rise, progress and present state of the Indian charity-school at Lebanon, in Connecticut

summary:
  Another School or two may possibly be set up with Success among the _Mohawks_, where Mr. _Ogilvie_ and other Episcopal Missionaries have bestowed much Labour, to good Purpose; and where they have got into the Way of cultivating their Lands for a Living, and so have more Ability to support their Children, and less Occasion to ramble abroad with them. After the Trial I made of this Nature some Years ago, by the Assistance of the Honourable LONDON Commissioners, in the Education of Mr. _Samson Occom_, one of the _Mohegan_ Tribe, who has several Years since been a useful School-Master and successful Preacher of the Gospel to the _Indians_ at _Montauk_ on _Long-Island_, where he took the Place of the Rev.

  The next time I went into Sam's store there were the same red apples that came out o' that orchard in the northern part o' the county. 'The old Earth keeps shellin' out more gold ev'ry year, an' the more she takes out o' her pockets the more I have to take out o' mine.' Wal, o' course I had to keep in line, so I put up the prices o' my work a little to be in fashion.

These be Hetty's children, Miss Goldthwaite, said Miss Hepsy.

  But New Haven ships did not always come off as well as in this encounter with the pirates, and their voyages were not always successful. The advisers of the new king, James the Second, wished to unite all the little scattered New England colonies under one strong government which should be able to resist not only Indian attacks, but also attacks from the French on the north.

  Now, what have you to say for yourself? Mistress Barbara has neglected to add, said he, with all the dignity that he could assume, that I insisted upon her narrating to me all the unhappy circumstances of her life in Second Westings. In truth, for all her tears and anxiety on this mad little maid's account, I have a misgiving that we are doing the sweet lady no great kindness in taking Mistress Barbara back to her.

summary:
  Obviously, the Separatist clergyman did not emphasize so strongly the rule of the eldership which New England church life in general had developed. Synods, from the purely Congregational standpoint, were to be called only upon the initiative of the churches, and were authoritative bodies, composed of both ministerial and lay delegates from such churches, and their duty was to confer and advise upon matters of general interest or upon special problems.
