Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of John Robinson, Pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers, Vol. 3: With a Memoir and Annotations The Apology was published Originally in Latin, under the title of Apologia justa et necessaria quorundam Christianorum, acque contumeliose ac communiter dicto rum Brownistarum sive Barrowistarum, per johannem robinsonum, anglo-leidenensem, suo et Ecclesia nomine, cui praeficitur Psal. Xli. 2, Beatus, qui attendit ad attenu atum, Anno Domini It was subsequently translated into English, by Mr. Robinson himself, for more general circulation among the English, both in his native land and in the United Provinces. In no edition, either of the Latin or English, has a preface been found. The Apology was intended to justify the occasional intercommunion between the members of Mr. Robinson's church and those Of the Belgian churches, and also to exhibit the peculiar opinions and practices of the Separatists, in distinction from those of the churches around them. The Independents were calumniously reported to have repudiated baptism, aban doued an Ecclesiastical Ministrye, departed from the faith respecting the Very Trinitie, and conducted them selves so obnoxiously to the magistrates, as to render it necessary that they should seek some farr parte of the world to settle in. They were also charged with con spiring to undermine the established religion in the land of their exile. These calumnies are refuted rather by im plication than argument. The work contains a clear and manly statement of the religious principles and proceed ings Of the Independents of that day, between whom and the modern Congregationalists there appear to be some shades of difference in ecclesiastical arrangements and usages; but in all essential principles they are manifestly one.
