The Colonies

"Thus out of small beginnings
greater things have been produced by His hand that made
all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are;
and, as one small candle may light a thousand,
so the light here kindled hath shone unto many,
yea in some sort to our whole nation;
let the glorious name of Jehovah have all the praise."
William Bradford in Of Plymouth Plantation, 1647
