In 16o6 the members divided into two See also:societies, Robinson becoming See also:minister of the one which made its headquarters at Scrooby, a neighbouring See also:village. The increasing hostility of the authorities towards See also:nonconformity soon forced him and his See also:people to think of See also:flight, and, not without difficulty, they succeeded in making their See also:- ESCAPE (in mid.

Holland. Robinson settled in See also:Amsterdam in ,6o8, but in the following See also:year re-moved, with a large contingent, to See also:Leiden, where he ministered to a community whose See also:numbers gradually See also:grew from one See also:hundred to three hundred. In 162o a considerable minority of these sailed for See also:England in the " Speedwell," and ultimately crossed the See also:Atlantic in the " See also:Mayflower "; it was Robinson's intention to follow as soon as practicable, along with the See also:rest of his See also:flock, but he died before the See also:plan could be carried out, on the 1st of See also:March 1625.
In the See also:early stages of the Arminian controversy he took the Calvinistic See also:side, and even engaged in a public disputation with the famous See also:Episcopius. He See also:bore a high reputation even among his ecclesiastical opponents, and one of them (See also:Robert See also:Baillie) calls him " the most learned, polished and modest spirit that ever that See also:sect enjoyed." He was large-minded and eminently reasonable in spirit, recognizing See also:parish assemblies where " the pure word and discipline " prevailed as true churches of See also:God. His See also:sound See also:judgment is seen in the way in which he adjusted the relations of elders and church—the most delicate See also:practical problem of See also:Congregationalism.
Amongst his publications may be mentioned See also:Justification of Separation from the Church (161o), Apologia Brownistarum (1619), A See also:Defence of the See also:Doctrine propounded by the See also:Synod of See also:Dort (1624), and a See also:volume of Essays, or Observations Divine and Moral, printed in 1625. His See also:Works (with one exception, A Manumission to a Manduction, since published by the See also:Massachusetts See also:Historical Society, See also:ser. iv., vol. I.), including a memoir, were reprinted by R. See also:Ashton in three vols. in 1851. A See also:summary of their contents is given in G. Punchard, See also:History of Congregationalism (New See also:York, 1867), iii. 300-344. See further CONGREGATIONALISM, and the literature there cited; also O. S.
