Synopsis
Excerpt from The Code of 1650: Being a Compilation of the Earliest Laws and Orders of the General Court of Connecticut
Query III. Those who have desired to be re ceived as free planters, and are settled in the plantation, with a purpose, resolution and desire, that they may be admitted into church fellowship, according to Christ, as soon as God shall fit them thereunto, were desired to express it by holding up hands. Accordingly all did express this to be their desire and purpose by holding up their hands twice, (viz.) at the proposal Of it, and after when these written words were read unto them.

The Code of 1650 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collection of judicial enactments and proceedings from the early history of the Connecticut colony, provides a unique glimpse into the 'Blue Laws', a code of conduct enforced by the Puritan settlers. Enacted in 1650, these laws aimed to establish a society governed by strict religious principles, with severe punishments for offenses. The book explores the origins and development of the Connecticut colony, focusing on the influence of Puritan beliefs and the challenges faced by the settlers in a new and unforgiving environment. It examines the legal framework established by the Blue Laws, their implementation, and the impact they had on the lives of those living under their rule. Beyond the historical value, this book invites reflection on the nature of law and its role in shaping social norms. It prompts questions about the boundaries between religious and civil authority and the extent to which personal freedoms should be curtailed in the pursuit of a perceived greater good. Through its analysis of the Blue Laws, this book provokes thoughtful consideration of the delicate balance between individual liberty and societal order that continues to challenge us today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332114023_0
