There was certainly a wide difference between the humble Brownists of Leyden, ex- pelled like felons from the mansion of a proud and angry parent, bearing the infliction with meekness and continuing to feel as children feel, and the stern Puritans of England defying the crown and scorning the mitre ; or between the shipwrights of vlii PREFACE. Kent and the Baptists of Wales ; or between the merchants of London and Boston, and the native English of the country, born in its forests, whose charact...ers, modified by the circumstances of situation and nativity, presented new and peculiar traits.
