Excerpt from The Princeton Review: April, 1857
The church at Leyden finally resolved to remove to America. Permission was Obtained for their settlement in Virginia. It was decided that a part Of the church should go first, and pre pare the way for the remainder, if a major part would go, then the pastor was to go with them, and the elder remain, if a minority should go, then the elder was to accompany them, and the pastor remain. A minority only went in the first company. The pastor gave them his charge, and waited to rejoin them.
The history of the May Flower and of Plymouth Rock is fami liar. What would have been the result to the country, and the Church, if the May Flower had struck Virginia instead of Ply mouth Rock, we leave the thoughtful to conjecture.
Robinson never saw his church united again. As good Old Cotton Mather would say, he was not allowed to take New England on his way to heaven. He died suddenly in Leyden, March 1st, 1625, aged fifty years. Four or five years after his death, provision was made for removing his family to this country, where many of his descendants now live.
