"I am verily persuaded, God will bring some heavy affliction upon this land, and that speedily; but be of good comfort... If the Lord seeth it will be good for us, He will provide a shelter and a hiding place for us and others..."
--John Winthrop, governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, writing of England in 1630
