And that's how people would explain things to themselves.

So in the context of England at that time, there were reasons why people perhaps came to the conclusion that it would be better to move on. And this applied to the pilgrims that we're talking about and, as we'll hear later on in the story, to some of the other people who were on the Mayflower ultimately.

So we might think, okay, they'd heard about Amsterdam. They'd heard about these churches maybe by accident, but there was a connection. There was a connection with the place.

He had been educated to some degree by being sent to Cambridge University. And a lot of the leading men at that time who were involved in these debates around religion and what they should be doing in terms of the church and in terms of their own church and beliefs had also been educated at Cambridge University.

But subsequent to that, he'd actually joined Queen Elizabeth's Secretary of State to Holland, Sir William Davison. He'd been there himself. He'd been to Amsterdam. He'd seen what it was like. And so he had a sense of what was happening over there. And that had to have informed their opinion on what was going to happen.
