Besides, the Dutch, though amenable to religious observances, were farfrom making them the soul and end of all thought and action; and this lackof aggressive religious fiber put them at a decided political disadvantagewith their rivals. Man for man, they were the equals of the English, or ofany other people; as they magnificently demonstrated, forty yearsafterward, by defeating allied and evil-minded Europe in its attempt toexpunge them as a nation. But the indomitable spirit of Van Tromp and D...eRuyter was never awakened in the New Netherlands; commercialconsiderations were paramount; and though the Dutch settlers remained, andwere always welcome, the colony finally passed from the jurisdiction oftheir own government, with their own expressed consent. Van Twiller vanished after eight years' mismanagement, and the sanguinaryKieft took the reins. But before his incumbency, Sweden, at the instanceof Gustavus Adolphus, and by the agency of his chancellor Oxenstiern, bothmen of the first class, lodged a colony on Delaware Bay, which subsistedfor seventeen years, and was absorbed, at last, without one stain upon itsfair record.
