1Gov. William Bradford, Of Plymouth Colony (Samuel Eliot Morison ed., Alfred A. Knopf, rep. March, 1999, New York), Page 18.
"Yea, such as the mutual love and reciprocal respect that this worthy man had to his flock, and his flock to him, that it might be said of them...that it was hard to judge whether he delighted more in having such a people, or they in having such a pastor. His love was great towards them, and his care was always bent for their best good, both for soul and body. For besides his singular abilities in divine things (wherein he excelled) he was also very able to give directions in civil affairs and to foresee dangers and inconveniences, by which means he was very helpful to their outward estates and so was every way as a common father unto them. And none did more offend him than those that were close and cleaving to themselves and retired from the common good; as also such as would be stiff and rigid in matters or outward order and inveigh against the evils of others, and yet be remiss in themselves, and not so careful to express a virtuous conversation. They in like manner had ever a reverent regard unto him and had him in precious estimation, as his worth and wisdom did deserve. And though they esteemed him highly whilst he lived and laboured amongst them, yet much more after his death, when they came to feel the want of his help and saw (by woeful experience) what a treasure they had lost, o the grief of their hearts and wounding of their souls. Yeah, such a loss as they saw could not be repaired; for it was as hard for them to find such another leader and feeder in all respects...And though they did not call themselves orphans... after his death, yet they had cause as much to lament in another regard, their present condition, and after usage."
(Gov. Bradford's thoughts on his beloved Rev. Robinson).
