August 12, 1630
So far this summer, about 1000 more Puritans have arrived in the New World. Now we have a much bigger settlement of only Puritans. I feel that many more shall come overseas to our lovely and flourishing colony. Wrestling and I are now going on hunts with the natives and our people. Wrestling and I are some of the few people who know how to hunt in the natives way and also the traditional way with a musket. I still do not see why the Catholic Church dislikes us so much. All we do is do good things, we read the Bible, we help each other and we are all very steady with our practice. But I am glad that we came to New England because we are always hearing how bad the treatment to our people are back home and how much more freedom there is here.
There is another religion finding it's way to Virginia and it's freedom. They are called the "Friends" but we call them Quakers. They are a cursed sect. They believe that it is not necessary to see God through a minister or a priest, but they can see God from within themselves and everyone can too! It is quite disgraceful and a shame that they believe in something as silly as that. Soon we will gather and vote to select a new governor and a new council. We need a council and although it is quite similar to the Parliament, we do not like that form of government.
