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.

Excerpt from The Code of 1650: Being a Compilation of the Earliest Laws and Orders of the General Court of Connecticut
The following sheets contain an exact copy of the constitution, or form of civil government, as adopted by the towns of Windsor, Hartford and Wethersfield, and the Code of 1650, as confirmed by the General Court of Connecticut. These were both taken from the original records remaining in the office of the Secretary for the State. Much time and accuracy were required to obtain an exact copy, on account of the orthography, and particularly for the reason, that the record, in some parts, was nearly obliterated, and in others, totally gone. Other parts of the record, therefore, have been resorted to, and the copy rendered complete. The ancient orthography has been accurately preserved.
This small volume is offered to the public, without apology or comment: nor does the publisher deem it necessary to detail the reasons which induced him to undertake the publication. Only, suffice it to say, that the first revision of the early laws of Connecticut, was never before printed. Prior to the revision of 1672, which was printed in 1675, the laws and orders of the General Court, were promulgated only by manuscript copies. They were recorded in the public records of the court, and also in the town records, and it was made the duty of the constables of the several towns, to publish such laws as should he made from time to time, and, annually to read the capital laws at some public meeting.
To this Code may be traced the origin of almost all our civil and religious institutions. Our ancestors have thus, in a great measure, transmitted to their posterity their present customs, manners, and civil and religious opinions. The laws were few and simple, yet they were such as the exigences of the commonwealth required, and such as may be supposed to exist in the infancy of civil governments.

The Code of 1650 (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: 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.
