mayflower journal ch 15


(Ch.15)
Mar.24 1630
I'm 14 now and soon to be married to someone in there late 20's. I don't know how I feel about it yet I have heard word that another ship of puritans is on there way to New England. I wonder how they will take it.. I wonder if they will be scared..all I can do is wonder. I see in my mind those people risking their lives to have a good life here, but honestly its not better then home.
They have started a charter (a document written by the lawyers) so that we can govern ourselves. I couldn't imagine a world with out laws the town would go a rye! it would be constant trouble.

I am so sick of these Quakers! they don't have the light of God! they will burn in Hell! they believe that they all have the light of God in them and don't need to listen to the minister. I think that is a bunch of Crap!
John Winthrop who was chosen Governor has said " We must consider that we shall be as a city upon the hill" I wonder what that means..I guess i will learn in time. I like Mr. Winthrop, He always try's his best he gets the people he is governing.
