Swift over to Virginia as a bishop, and a worthy one he would have been, to such a church.
The eighteenth century was a period of deca- dence in the colonial ministry. Things had not al- ways been so bad. When the first settlers came to America, the clergymen who accompanied them were men of sterling worth and character. They were moved by a hope of converting the Indians, and came in a true missionary spirit. The jour- nals of those adventurers testify to the courage 206 The Colonial Cavalier....
with which their chaplain braved dangers and bore discomforts. " B}' unprosperous winds, " they say, " we were kept six weeks in sight of Eng- land; all which time Master Hunt, our preacher, was so weake and sicke that few expected his re- covery. Yet, although we were but twentie myles from his habitation, and notwithstanding the stormy weather, nor the scandalous imputations against him, all this could never force from him so much as a seeming desire to leave the businesse. " All through the journey he was brave and cheer- ful, though there was a constant ferment of wrath in that hot-headed ship's company, which might have ended in bloodshed, " had he not, with the water of patience and his godly exhortations, but chiefly by his true, devoted example, quenched those flames of envy and detraction." Finally, after the fire at Jamestown, Master Hunt lost all his library and " all he had but the cloathes on his backe, yet none never heard him repine at his loss." Following Hunt came the good Whitaker, " a schollar, a graduate, a preacher well born and well friended in England, " who from conscientious desire to help the savages left " his warm nest and, to the wonder of his kinsmen, and to the amaze- ment of them that knew him," undertook this per- ilous enterprise.
