Look at the names of some of the earliest settlers of whom we have any authentic knowledge. We may mention the _Mayflower_ first. In 1620 the emigrants by this vessel founded New Plymouth. This led to the planting of other colonies. Among the passengers were a girl named _Desire_ Minter, a direct translation of Desiderata, which had just become popular in England; William Brewster, the ruling elder; his son _Love_ Brewster, who married, settled, and died there in 1650, leaving four children; and a younger son, _Wrestling_ Brewster. The daughters had evidently been left in England till a comfortable home could be found for them, for next year there arrived at New Plymouth, in the _Ann_ and _Little James_, _Fear_ Brewster and _Patience_ Brewster. Patience very soon married Thomas Prince, one of the first governors. On this same memorable journey of the _Mayflower_ came also _Remember_, daughter of Isaac Allerton, first assistant to the new governor; _Resolved_ White, who married and left five children in the colony; and _Humility_ Cooper, who by-and-by returned to England. A little later on, in the _Ann_ and _Little James_, again came Manasseh Faunce and _Experience_ Mitchell. In a "List of Living" in Virginia, made February 16, 1623, is _Peaceable_ Sherwood. In a "muster" taken January 30, 1624, occur _Revolt_ Morcock and _Amity_ Waine. There is a conversation in "The Ordinary"--a drama written in 1634 or 1635, by Cartwright, the man whose "body was as handsome as his soul," as Langbaine has it--which may be quoted here. _Hearsay_ says-- "London air, Methinks, begins to be too hot for us. _Slicer._ There is no longer tarrying here: let's swear Fidelity to one another, and So resolve for New England. _Hearsay._ 'Tis but getting A little pigeon-hole reformed ruff---- _Slicer._ Forcing our beards into th' orthodox bent---- _Shape._ Nosing a little treason 'gainst the king, Bark something at the bishops, and we shall Be easily received." Act iv. sc. 5. It is interesting to remember that 1635, when this was written, saw the high tide of Puritan emigration. The list of passengers that have come down to us prove it. After that date the names cease to represent the sterner spirit of revolt against episcopacy and the Star Chamber. In the ship _Francis_, from Ipswich, April 30, 1634, came _Just_ Houlding. In the _Elizabeth_, landed April 17, 1635, _Hope-still_ Foster and _Patience_ Foster. From the good barque _James_, July 13, 1635, set foot on shore _Remembrance_ Tybbott. In the _Hercules_ sailed hither, in 1634, _Comfort_ Starre, "chirurgeon." In 1635 settled _Patient_ White. In a book of entry, dated April 12, 1632, is registered _Perseverance_ Greene, as one who is to be passed on to New England.
