staying eleven years and becoming a teacher...his thoughts being encouraged by
Elizabeth, who died in 1603...King James commanded an immediate tightening up
on "conformity" and the edict extended to Cambridge...rather than give up his
intellectual freedom, Robinson decided to resign his teaching
fellowship...also, married men were not permitted to hold a fellowship...he
married five days after resigning...ministered for a time in Norwich, until
King James set more restrictions...removed his family back to Sturton...leaned
toward the "separatist" movement and starting his own church...he was aided by
Master Wm Brewster...eventually moved to Holland; first in Amsterdam, then to
Leyden...the English colony at Leyden was strong, if not large, and the
Robinson church prospered...he never made it to the colonies, before he died."
