John Winthrop and a notable company of associates in June, 1630. The granting of the charter was as a trumpet-call to sympathizers with the Puritan movement in England ; and company after company of stalwart men and heroic women, despairing of the reformation of the State and Church in their own land, turned their faces in hope to the New World, and found home and sanc- tuary in more or less voluntary exile in America. Probably at the time of Hooker's arrival at New- town at least three thousan...d Englishmen were scat- tered among the towns and plantations of the Bay. They were settling down to the various labours of planting, building, making roads and bridges, catch- ing and curing fish, trading with the Indians for furs, taking care of their flocks of sheep and goats, breed- ing cattle, and building up the fabric of an orderly society. It was, on the whole, a remarkable assemblage of men and women. The ministers, now numbering thirteen or fourteen in the colony, were nearly all University men, had been clergy of the English Church, and were, several of them, eminent at home for all clerical gifts and at- tainments.
