Excerpt from The Puritan Conspiracy Against the Pilgrim Fathers and the Congregational Church, 1624 The Pilgrim Fathers, while in England, had been of the Separatist class, but in Holland they had followed John Robinson into Independency. So that they have been called Semi-separatists. They came to regard the Church of England, and 'the Presbyterian, Lutheran, Dutch Calvinist, and Huguenot bodies, all as branches of the church of Christ, to welcome godly members of them to their sacramental table, and to hold baptism by any of these orders as valid and sufficient. In short, the rigid Separatists declared for or against a man according to his church, and the Independents judged him, not by his name and affiliation, but by his individual piety. In 1620, Thomas \veston, of London, as a business venture, formed a stock company of some seventy Adventurers, for the purpose of planting the Pilgrims in America, and for seven years Sharing the profits of the plantation. These Adventurers, like nearly all the mercantile people of England, were of Puritan proclivities, * and they seem, on gathering from Weston that the Pilgrims were not of the despised Brownists, to have hastily inferred that they were in some degree inclined to Episcopal ways.'r During the colony's first year, the Adventurers apparently found that, unlike themselves, the Pilgrims were not Puritans, and thereupon they took measures to prevent the emigration of Pastor Robinson or his leading associates.
