Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Autobiography of Thomas Shepard: The Celebrated Minister of Cambridge, N. E.; With Additional Notices of His Life and Character
After that we came from the sea, my first son fell sick in passing from the ship to the shore in the boat; of which sickness, within a fortnight after, he died at Yarmouth in Old England, which was no small grief to us; but the Lord preserved us, and provided for me and my wife a hiding-place from the knowledge of our enemies and from their malice, by the meanes of Mrs. Corbet in Norfolke, in one of whose houses we stayed all that hard winter with our dear friend Mr. Roger Harlakendoa, and enjoyed a sweet time together in a most retyered manner so the winter being spent, we were much perplexed whither to gee, and where to stay that we might not be known, and keepe my second child so secretly as that it might not be baptised until it came to take of that ordinance in purity in old England; and being thus doubtful what to doe, the Lord by letters tom London called us to come thither, where my wife might have all helpe in her sickness and my child kept secret; and this we concluded for to do a, and therefore tooke our leave of this our winter house, and in our way to London, we went to Mr. Burroughs his house a godly, able minister.
