Thus stands the cause betweene God and us. We are entered into Covenant with

Him for this worke. Wee have taken out a Commission. The Lord hath given us leave

to drawe our own articles. Wee have professed to enterprise these Actions, upon

these and those accounts, upon these and those ends, wee have hereupon

besought Him of favour and blessing. Now if the Lord shall please to heare us, and

bring us in peace to the place wee desire, then hath hee ratified this Covenant and

sealed our Commission, [and] will expect a strict performance of the Articles

contained in it; but if wee shall neglect the observation of these Articles which are the

ends wee have propounded, and, dissembling with our God, shall fall to embrace this

present world and prosecute our carnall intentions, seekeing greate things for

ourselves and our posterity, the Lord will surely breake out in wrathe against us; be

revenged of such a perjured people and make us knowe the price of the breache of

such a covenant. According to this excerpt, what will be the rewards of adhering to

the articles of the Covenant?

God’s favor and blessing

Captain John Smith depicts the New World as a land of opportunities, unique

qualities, and abundance.

In his writings, Captain John Smith portrayed English North America as a land of

endless bounty.

From my years young in days of youth,

God did make known to me this truth,

And call’d me from my native place

For to enjoy the means of grace.

In wilderness he did me guide,

And in strange lands for me provide,

In fears and wants, through weal and woe,

A Pilgrim passed I to and fro.
