Incomplete question. I inferred you are referring to "Bradford's History of 'Plimoth Plantation'", by William Bradford.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Lines 110-116 reads;</u>

"In ye name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwriten, the loyall subjects of our dread soveraigne Lord, King James, by ye grace of God, of Great Britaine, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of ye faith, &c., haveing undertaken, for ye glorie of God, and advancemente of ye Christian faith, and honour of our king & countrie, a voyage to plant ye first colonie in ye Northerne parts of Virginia, doe by these presents solemnly & mutualy in ye presence of God, and one of another, covenant & combine our selves togeather into a civill body politick, for our better ordering & preservation & furtherance of ye ends aforesaid; and by vertue hearof to enacte, constitute, and frame such just & equall lawes, ordinances, acts, constitutions, & offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meete & convenient for ye generall good of ye Colonie, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witnes wherof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cap-Codd ye 11. of November, in ye year of ye raigne of our soveraigne lord, King James, of England, France, & Ireland ye eighteenth, and of Scotland ye fiftie fourth. Ano: Dom. 1620..."

This lengthy sentence might be rewritten in a more modern way by replacing old English expressions like 'ye' with 'the' and adjusting the spellings of some words.

For example, The first five lines of lines 110 could be written;

"In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of the faith, &c., having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our king & country, a voyage to plant the first colonies in the Northern parts of Virginia..."

Description of a city at dawn
Ugo [173]

The sun reflected off of the tall buildings, off of the blue ocean, making it shimmer as the waves bounced lazily off of the sand. Dozens of alarm clocks went off, waking people, informing them that work was soon, and traffic slowly picked up, Starbucks flipped to <em>open, </em>and the occasional honk went off in downtown Miami. Early rising high schoolers hit the beach, running or getting morning surfing in. Walkers walking up and down the streets, tired, but ready to begin a long day.

Answer:

I just want to thank you such a beautiful piece. I totally agree. I wish I was not judged by the color of my skin or sexuality or religion but that is the first things I am judged on instead of my personality which should not be the case.
