Description:Excerpt from Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. 10 Account of the New-England Platform; of the attempts made of convert the Natives; and the state of Religion, and order of the Churches from 1648, during the commonwealth in Great-Britain. In the earliest period of our history, the churches of New-England enjoyed religious freedom beyond what could be expected by their brethren in Europe, and were subject to their own religious discipline and order. The clergy aimed not at much power, but were highly respected by the magistrates, who asked their advice upon the most important occasions. From this it has been supposed they had great influence upon the affairs of the community. But what influence they had was more owing to their character, than their office. The magistrates, as members of the churches, were able to give a check to clergymen who thought too highly of themselves. They also were well versed in the scriptures, and had more knowledge of ecclesiastical history than most preachers of the gospel. If we look into the church at Plymount, how very able ought a teacher to be, when governour Bradford and elder Brewster were among the church members?
