Excerpt from Maryland Toleration, or Sketches of the Early History of Maryland, to the Year 1650 Now with respect to Religion in the articles, orders and instructions, etc., set down for Virginia Nov. 20, 1606, seven months after the first Virginia Charter was issued, is found the following We do specially ordain, charge and require the presidents and Councils [of the two Vir ginia Colonies] respectively, within their several limits and precincts, that they with all care, diligence and respect, do provide that the true Word and Service of God and Christian Faith, be preached, and planted, and used, etc., according to the doctrine, rites and religion, now professed and established within our realm of England. If In the second Charter, that of May 23, 1609, f it is said, we should be loath, that any person should be permitted to pass, that we suspected to affect the superstitions of the Church of Rome. We do hereby declare, that it is our will and pleasure, that no one be permitted to pass in any voyage, from time to time into the said country, but such as shall have first taken the Oath of Supremacy, And the third Charter empowers certain officers there specified, to administer the oath of Supremacy, which was also the oath of allegiance, i to all and every person, which shall at any time or times hereafter, go or pass to the said Colony of Virginia. This oath thus prevented any one from becoming a resident in Virginia, who could not, or would not acknowledge the King, as the temporal head of the Church and required the officers specified, to see it administered. The Colony was thus consequently made a Church of England Colony. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
