Pilgrims - William Brewster Way in Leiden Holland

 

Pilgrims - William Brewster Way in Leiden Holland
This is the alley where the pilgrim William Brewster, publisher of the "Pilgrim Press" lived. He & his partners, Thomas Brewer, John Reynolds & Edward Winslow saw printing as a means to advance the spread of the Gospel, just as others did it through preaching and praying. Their works (The Perth Assembly) angered King James of England, and this event may have had a direct impact on their leaving for America on the Mayflower.
