Following the address, Mrs. e. b..
Newcomb gave some very interesting
ancestral history. She told the story
OF Thomas Games and Of the mas

this Samuel Games. She also gave
the history OF William Beardsley, the
founder Of the Beardsley family In
America. His son was the founder OF
Bridgeport, Conn. Many interesting
historical facts were told regarding
the founding of some of the oldest
among the New England churches, in
which her ancestors had a prominent
place The incidents given were TAX

tans. The Puritans were party
within the church. They had no
thought of leaving the church. They
wished only to purify the life and
worship of the church. So they were
called Puritans.
Among the Puritans were few
radicals or extremists, who despair
ing Of further reformation within
the church declared that the English
church was an apostate church and
insisted that men must withdraw or
separate from that church. So they
were called Separatists. One of their
influential leaders was Robert Browne
who published treatise under the
title Reformation without tarrying
for any Because of the influence OF
Browne the Separatists were some
times called Brownists. Shakespeare
so alludes to them and from his ref
erences to the sect it is evident that
in some sections Of England they had
q considerable following.
separatists Two Principals.
There were two principals for
which the Separatists stood, viz: the
separation Of church and state, and
the autonomy of the local church,
that is the right of the local church
through its members to administer
discipline, choose its own officers, and
conduct its own affairs without inter
ference from external ecclesiastical
authority. Congregations were organ
lied by the Separatists in various
parts of England, but in this they
were not molested. The English law
required conformity to the English
church., and those who refused were
subjected to heavy penalties Men
were not permitted to worship God
according to the dictates of their own
consciences, but were obliged to con-
form to the requirements Of the
Church Of England. For their refusal
SO to do the Separatists were Obliged
to suffer keenly. Six OF their num-
ber-Henry Barrowe, John Green
wood. John Penny, William Dennis,
Elias Thacker and John Coping
were put to death. Besides these
martyrs to their faith, twenty-five
others, twenty men and Ave women,
died in English prisons. Because Of
the violence Of persecution. the sepa-
ratists were driven into hiding, into
out Of the way places. both for refuge
and for worship. Finally one OF their
congregations, that at Scrooby, under
the leadership of Elder William Brew
ster, and their pastor John Robinson,
decided to seek refuge In Holland
that they might enjoy the privilege
OF worshiping God In peace and
quiet.
