Whitgift, John. ANSWERE TO A CERTEN LIBEL INTITULED, AN ADMONITION TO THE PARLIAMENT. London: Henrie Bynneman.

John Whitgift (1530-1604), Archbishop of Canterbury, was a mighty antagonist of the Puritan party. From 1583 to 1604 as archbishop, he accelerated both Queen Elizabeth’s and King James’ hostility to the Puritans. The ANSWERE was in response to ADMONITION TO THE PARLIAMENT written in 1572 by two London ministers, John Field and Thomas Wilcox, advocates of the Presbyterian system.

BIBLE [GENEVA]. London: Christopher Barker.

Belonged to William Bradford. The Table of Contents lists the Apocrypha but the actual books are no longer present and may never have been included. The leaves rather than the pages are numbered. The early pages, up to Genesis XII, are gone but the title page of the New Testament gives the printer and date. The decoration of the title page is not the usual Geneva design with the 12 Tribes of Israel for Old Testament and 12 Apostles for New Testament. Instead there is an elaborate border topped with the Royal Arms. There is also a boar’s head tailpiece at “The ende of the Prophets.” The Bible is printed in “black letter” or “Old English” type except for the marginal notes. The Geneva Bible is sometimes referred to as the “Breeches” Bible because of the use of “breeches” for “aprons” in Genesis 3:7.

Lambarde, William. EIRENARCHA: OR THE OFFICE OF THE JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. Second edition. London: Ralph Newbery.

This book descended through the hands of the trial justices of Plymouth until it was deposited in Pilgrim Hall by the last justice, Arthur Lord, circa 1915. The cover has the arms of William Cecil, Lord Burghley, indicating that the book was once part of his library. The book most likely arrived in Plymouth by way of William Brewster, acquired during his time of service with Sir William Davison, secretary to Lord Burghley and Brewster’s patron. The title page displays the later signature of Joshua Thomas of Plymouth, trial justice at the turn of the 18th century and one of the founders of the Pilgrim Society.

Accession No. 901

Music of the psalms was part of the everyday life of the Pilgrims. Edward Winslow noted that many of the congregation in Leiden were “very expert in music.” The English Separatists in Holland used a version of the Psalms prepared by Henry Ainsworth (1571-1623).

Ainsworth is well represented in Plymouth inventories by his psalters and commentaries. In the 21 wills and inventories filed between 1633 and 1640 at Plymouth, 11 mention books. Among those books are 6 psalters. Doctor Samuel Fuller owned one of these psalters, probably the Amsterdam edition of Ainsworth. William Brewster also owned a copy of Ainsworth’s Book of Psalmes.

Seneca, Lucius Annaeus. WORKES OF LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA, BOTH MORRALL AND NATURAL. Translated by Thos. Lodge. London: William Stansby.

Accession No. 366
Gift of Justin Winsor, 1887, “Presented by Justin Winsor of Cambridge, at the Celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the incorporation of Duxbury, Mass. June 17, 1887.”

This 1614 English translation of the works of Classical Roman author Seneca passed through many owners associated with the early history of Plymouth. It was brought to Plymouth in 1623 by William Pierce of the ship Anne. It was once owned by Elder William Brewster and was listed in his estate inventory as “Senaca workes” at a value of 6 shillings.

Seneca was a favorite author of Rev. John Robinson of Leiden. Robinson cites Seneca some 60 times in his Observations Divine and Morall (1625) and also in a letter to Brewster, included in William Bradford’s journal Of Plimoth Plantation.

Bradford apparently borrowed the book from Brewster; he quotes from it twice in his journal. In noting the Mayflower passengers’ relief on sighting Cape Cod after their long voyage, Bradford adds: “And no marvell if they were thus joyful, seeing wise Seneca was so affected with sailing a few miles on the coast of his own Italy; as he affirmed, that he had rather remain twenty years on his way by land, then pass by sea to any place in a short time; so tedious and dreadful was the same unto him.” The second reference follows Bradford’s account of the colonists’ successful harvest in 1624: “Which maks me remember a saint of Senecas, Epis: 123. That a great part of libertie is a well governed belly, and to be patiente in all wants.”

New England historian Justin Winsor, who donated the book to Pilgrim Hall in the 19th century, traced the ownership of this book through the signatures found on its pages:

Edmund Kyrbie, a London merchant interested in the American trade was the first owner of this book in 1614

Thomas Stonyer, another London merchant

Thomas Cotton (?), who was given the book by Stonyer

William Pierce, who traded this book with Thomas Cotton in exchange for a copy of William Perkins’ Works. Pierce, master of the Anne which arrived in Plymouth in 1623, brought the book with him.

William Brewster, who purchased the book from Pierce in Plymouth in 1623

Love Brewster, who inherited the book on his father’s death in 1644

Alexander Standish, son of Capt. Myles Standish, who bought the book from his Duxbury neighbor Love Brewster

Thomas Standish, son of Alexander [may also have belonged to David Standish]

Rev. John Robinson, minister in Duxbury who bought it from Thomas Standish in 1722

Ichabod Robinson, inherited the book from his father in 1745

Faith Robinson, sister of Ichabod, she married Gov. Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut

William Trumbull Williams, grandson of Gov. Jonathan and Faith (Robinson) Trumbull

John McClellan, brother-in-law of William Trumbull Williams

Joseph McClellan, son of John McClellan, of Woodstock, CT., who sold the book to Justin Winsor in 1887

Justin Winsor, donated book to Pilgrim Hall Museum on June 17, 1887

[Ames, William] SECOND MANUDUCTION FOR MR. ROBINSON OR A CONFIRMATION OF THE FORMER, IN AN ANSWERE TO HIS MANUMISSION.

Museum purchase, August 23, 1950. “Bought of Goodspeed’s Book-Shop for $13.50.” 

In 1614, Ames wrote A Manduction for Mr. Robinson, and Such as Consent with Him in Private Communion, to Lead them on to Publick. John Robinson responded in 1614 with A Manumission to a Manuduction. In 1615, Ames wrote this Second Manuduction. William Ames and John Robinson, the Pilgrims’ pastor, agreed on many things but not on the organization of a church. Both were able disputants. Robinson mocked Ames by a pun on his name, calling him “Dr. Amiss.” Ames replied with a scolding letter and Robinson accepted the rebuke.

Museum purchase, February 16, 1957. “Bought of Goodspeed’s Book Shop.”

BREWSTER IMPRINT.

Brewster reprinted An Admonition, originally published by J. Field and T. Wilcox, London, 1572. The Admonition advocated for the Presbyterianism form of church governance proposed by Thomas Cartwright. In 1572, Cartwright was deprived of his Cambridge fellowship in response to his opinions. His opponent John Whitgift made a spirited reply to the work of Field and Wilcox in Answere to a Certain Libel. The Library holds a 1572 edition of Whitgift’s Answere. Brewster had a copy of the Admonition to Parliament, though it is not known if it was his own imprint or the earlier London edition.

Accession No. 128
Gift of Mrs. Hannah Churchill, Relict of the late Hon. William Cushing.

BREWSTER IMPRINT.

A Brewster publication of great importance, this represents the work of Thomas Cartwright (1535-1603). While Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Cambridge in 1569, Cartwright urged Presbyterian practice upon the English Church and was deprived first of his professorship and then of his fellowship at the instigation of John Whitgift in 1572.

Brewster owned a copy of this book. The Pilgrim Hall Library holds two copies in its collection.

Purchas, Samuel. PURCHAS, HIS PILGRIMAGE, OR RELATIONS OF THE WORLD AND THE RELIGIONS OBSERVED IN ALL AGES AND PLACES DISCOVERED, FROM THE CREATION UNTO THIS PRESENT, IN FOUR PARTS. Third edition. London: William Stansby for Henry Fetherstine.

Bequest of Arthur Lord, 1925.

The heading over “To the reader” is the same used by Brewster over “The publisher to the studious reader” in his edition of Cartwright’s Confutation, 1618.

This book was a title available to and most certainly read by the Mayflower Pilgrims. Part history, part travelogue, and part world-wide gazette, Purchas, His Pilgrimage highlighted accounts of travelers ranging from Marco Polo to explorers of the 16th and 17th centuries. Of particular interest to the Pilgrims were the published versions of John Smith, Samuel Gosnold, and other adventurers who explored the coast of New England in the decades before their arrival in 1620.

Samuel Purchas (1575-1626) was a graduate of St. John’s College, Cambridge (1600) who had a dual career as minister and compiler of travelogues and exploration narratives. Purchas published four editions of his work, commonly known by the title of the last edition Purchas, His Pilgrimes, from 1613 to 1626. The fourth edition of 1626 included many manuscript histories from the collection of Richard Hakluyt, whose 1584 work, Principal Navigations, urged the colonization of North America by England.

This third edition of Purchas His Pilgrimage has a chapter on Virginia, which includes brief information on New England based on the writings of Samuel de Champlain and John Smith.

Calderwood, David. DE REGIMINE ECCLESIAE SCOTICANAE BREVIS RELATIO [Brief Relation about the Governing of the Scottish Church]. Leyden: William Brewster.

The publication of this book and Calderwood’s Perth Assembly by William Brewster on the “Pilgrim Press” at Choir Alley in Leiden led to the suppression of the press and a targeted hunt for William Brewster. David Calderwood (1560-1625), was the author of these two works vigorously opposed to episcopacy in Scotland. James I bitterly resented these attacks upon the Scottish settlement. An account of the efforts at suppression is contained in Edward Arbor’s Story of the Pilgrim Fathers.

Cartwright, Thomas. CONFUTATION OF THE RHEMISTS. Leyden: William Brewster.
Two copies.

Accession No. 119

BREWSTER IMPRINT.

Bradford and Brewster both had this title.

The Rhemish translation which provoked this confutation by Cartwright was the result of the Roman Catholic Church’s translation of the Bible (New Testament done in 1582 at the English College at Rheims; Old Testament done 1609-1610 at Douai). Cartwright began his rebuttal when the New Testament translation appeared in 1582 and devoted the rest of his life to it. He did not complete the work before his death, but got as far as the 15th chapter of Revelation, producing 761 pages of text.

1619
Ainsworth, Henry. ANNOTATIONS OF NUMBERS, DEUTERONOMY, PSALMES, SONG OF SONGS.

Ainsworth was the teacher of the separatist congregation at Amsterdam and in 1619 published these annotations or commentaries on the Bible. His works are represented in the inventories of Samuel Fuller, William Brewster, John Jenney and Richard Langford.

[Winslow, Edward, William Bradford, et al.] RELATION OR JOURNALL OF THE BEGINNING AND PROCEEDING OF THE ENGLISH PLANTATION SETTLED AT PLYMOUTH. London: John Bellamie.

Known as Mourt’s Relation, this extremely rare first edition of the earliest printed account of Plymouth Colony was published by George Morton (G. Mourt in the dedication) in London in 1622. It is a documentary, journal-like history of the Pilgrims arriving on the New England coast and the first year of settlement in Plymouth. It details the landing on Cape Cod, the establishment of the colony, and the early relationship between the English and the Native Wampanoag people. The account focuses primarily on the positives of the colony’s experience, describing the variety and richness of trees, birds, fish, game, and other wondrous sights. The entire tone of the book is one of achievement and abundance, despite the realities of the Mayflower company having lost half their company in their first winter of settlement.

This volume was gifted to the Museum from the library of Arthur Lord, president of the Pilgrim Society and Pilgrim Hall Museum from 1895-1925.

In this volume, the author’s portrait appears before the title page and the Company of the Artillery Garden coat of arms appears at the end of the codex, unlike most first editions. There are three loose clippings of booksellers’ catalogs tucked into the book, indicating that Lord researched where to purchase a copy of Military Discipline. A fourth listing pasted onto the front leaf of the book appears to for this volume, describing “one of the rare early editions of this treatise” with “the rare coat-of-arms on last leaf mounted.”

The pasted clipping in the Pilgrim Society volume is identical to one found in a 1913 catalogue from the famed “Caxton Head” rare book seller, James Tregaskis. Caxton Head was selling manuscripts, books and artworks from the estate of R. W. Barrett Browning, including relics of his parents Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and items from other sources. Lord’s book appears to be from this sale, with penciled info on the front leaf of matching the listed price on both the pasted clipping and the Caxton catalogue entry.

Nathaniel Morton (1616-1685) was the son of George Morton (presumed publisher of Mourt’s Relation). He was born in Leiden, Holland in 1616, and arrived in Plymouth in 1623. Morton was raised in the family of his uncle William Bradford. He served as Secretary for Plymouth Colony from 1645 until his death in 1685. His book, New England’s Memorial, was published in Cambridge, 1669 as the first printed history of a New England colony. Most of the text is based on Bradford’s manuscript Of Plimoth Plantation. His abridgement of Bradford’s work includes significant details, however, including the only listing of the signers of the Mayflower Compact.
