Parker's ministry. The First Parish was born in free- dom and nurtured in its love. The first con- sideration of the Puritans after landing was to gather a meeting and build a church, and to the honor of Roxbury, almost the next was to build the first public school, afterwards the Boys' Latin School. After gathering for a time with a meeting established in Dorchester, the First Church of Roxbury was built in 1632 with Thomas Weld minister. This is the Mother Church from which the "Second Church... of Christ" in Roxbury, afterwards the "First Parish, " West Roxbury, sprang. People settled fast, and far and wide spread the bounds of Rocksborough, westerly, to Jamaica End or Spring Street, along the Ded- ham highway. The roads were bad, some- times in winter almost impassable, and dis- tances so great that it was well-nigh impos- sible for settlers to get to meeting, and yet it was the bread of life to these simple God- loving people, and the pillory and stocks were in evidence to keep them to their duty.
