The captain was Christopher Jones, and not the Captain Thomas Jones of unsavory memory. J. R. Hutchinson, “The Mayflower, her Identity and Tonnage,” _New England Historical and Genealogical Register_, vol. LXX, pp. 337-42. Also Usher, _Pilgrims_, p. 72. The ship is thought to have been in the wine trade for several years; and as a wine ship was known among sailors as a “sweet” ship, this may have had something to do with the remarkable health of the Pilgrims on the voyage. For disease on shipboard during that period, _cf._ Oppenheim, _Administration of the Royal Navy_, vol. I, p. 136. Drake on his famous voyage lost 600 out of a crew of 2,300. Footnote 216: Bradford, _Plymouth_, pp. 42, 60. Footnote 217: John Robinson, _Works_ (Boston, 1851), vol. I, p. 39. Footnote 218: Robinson, _Works_, vol. I, p. 40. The italics are mine. _Cf._ Buckle, _History of Civilization_, vol. I, p. 337: “In every Christian country where it [toleration] has been adopted, it has been forced upon the clergy by the authority of the secular classes.” Footnote 219: Winslow, in Young, _Chronicles_, p. 397. Dr. H. M. Dexter has vigorously attacked the idea of Robinson's having been broad-minded in the modern sense, and thinks his words refer only to church discipline and not to belief. _Congregationalism in the last 300 Years_, pp. 400 _ff._ From a study of Robinson's writings, I cannot agree with him. _Cf._ Davis (_John Robinson_, pp. 241-65), who also disagrees with Dexter; and the very just estimate by H. H. Henson, _Studies in Religion in the 17th Century_ (London, 1903), pp. 234 _ff._; and W. W. Fenn, “John Robinson's Farewell Address,” _Harvard Theological Review_, July, 1920, pp. 236 _ff._
