THE
BOOK & VIDEO REVIEWS: i.e. The New England
Primer; 1996 AND America's Godly Heritage video
series in history & government.
- Abstract:
This web page contains: a Review of the book: The
New England Primer; 1996 (NEPrimer)and 5 VHS videos. The intent
is to demonstrate & illustrate some of the CONTENT of
The New England Primer with supporting quotes from our Founding Fathers
and the 5 American History & Government Videos.
The justification for combining both REVIEWS
into one document is for the purpose of showing, that the study of the
NEPrimer leads us to an understanding of the Founding Fathers'
Enlightenment, Wisdom, Knowledge and Education and the videos indicate
the application of it and the results of it and their INTENT for the U.S. Constitution,
government, law and justice etc..
These excerpts also identify the Founding Fathers' faith by their own
extemporaneous speeches using memorized Bible verses,
outright
testimonies and statements of faith or as otherwise documented in the
videos and elsewhere!
Great men do great works because they get great
vision from great truths.
- Give
your child great truths today.

MINI BOOK REVIEW of
THE
NEW ENGLAND PRIMER; 1996
BACKGROUND
AND INTRODUCTION
- The
target audience for this book is every American family because as
parents, citizens and patriots we have to recognize that real values
i.e. Charity, Discipline, Honesty, Purity, Truth and Civility must be
taught at home because our government schools16 are failing and are counter- productive!
17 (see also Luther).
And because children grow up fast, parents can't wait for right
reform. Parents will want to sit down face to face and eye to
eye
with their children and let them know what is true, what is right; what
they believe and what they are willing to study together.
But must we reinvent the wheel? No, let's use a book from the
original American family textbook series! THE NEW ENGLAND PRIMER!
This book links our early American history and heritage with each
child's purpose and place in this culture, in our
American culture.
Further, it is hoped that this book will remind the child that God's
hand, was, and still is, in America's HIS-story even before it's
discovery by Christopher Columbus who recorded,
Christopher
Columbus, circa 1492:
"It was the Lord who put into my mind - I could feel His hand upon me -
the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the
Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with
laughter,
ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was
from
the Holy Spirit, because He comforted me with rays of marvelous
inspiration from the Holy Scriptures." _1 And,
"My hope in the One who created us all sustain me; He is an ever
present help in trouble... When I was extremely depressed, He raised me
with His right hand, saying, 'O man of little faith, get up, it is I;
do not be afraid."' _1
Then
128+ years later,The Mayflower Compact 1620:
"Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and the advancement of the
Christian Faith and the honor of our King and country, a voyage to
plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by the
presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of
another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body
politic...." _10
Then
156 years after that, The Declaration of
Independence: 1776. "We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." _11
And,
George Washington: b. 1732-1797: "Bless O Lord the whole race of
mankind, and let the world be filled with the knowledge of Thee and Thy
Son, Jesus Christ." _1
George Washington:
"Of all dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity,
religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain
would
that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labour to subvert
these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the
duties of men and citizens." 4(pg.
7)
Thomas
Jefferson: b. 1743-1826:
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a
nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties
are a gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I
reflect
that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever." 5(pg. 27) & 1
Then,
Abraham Lincoln:
b. 1809-1865: "It
is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon
the overruling power of God and to recognize the sublime truth
announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those
nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord." _1
And,
Robert E. Lee: b. 1807-1870: "Let
us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known
Jesus Christ and redeeming love... for our national leaders. Let prayer
be our passion. Let prayer be our practice." _1
This primer series was intended for all American families to instruct
their children in wisdom and understanding to seek the "Highest
Attainable Goals" because anything less is very
dangerous and destructive to their best "life, liberty and
... pursuit of happiness." _11
The term "Highest Attainable Goals"
is a very important wisdom principle for families. It has
qualities that extend beyond a lifetime of experiences to include facts
that are without error
suitable for making lifetime decisions. Qualities such as
self-control and taking responsibility for ones thoughts, words and
actions. Qualities that would promote right relationships
with
our neighbor and our neighbor's children. Right relationships
that allow a person when he has failed to know that he can regain his
health, honor, hope and forgiveness before God and man, and to know HOW
to do it. All of these qualities begin in THE NEW
ENGLAND PRIMER;
series. I'm sure, if you agree that these are good ideas and
concepts for your family and for your children, that other parents and
grandparents will want to buy this special book for those reasons
too. Other parents will easily recognize that their "Highest
Attainable Goal"
is to do the very best they can to pass on to their children these
values that will provide the safest, most secure present and most
secure future for them and their loved ones.

It is important to note that American "Primers" (Prim' ers) were
printed in cities all over the colonies and territories. It
was
extensively used from the 1690's to the 1890's and was a primary level
textbook. The name "Primer", the concept, and the material
all
came from England where it was used as early as the 1500's. On page 24
the true story of ..
- MR. JOHN
ROGERS, minister
of the gospel in London, was the first martyr in Queen Mary's reign;
and was burnt at Smithfield, February the fourteenth, 1554...
-
- declares most
eloquently his faith in
his Creator and his love for his children. His love and hope for his
children's future well being typifies every parents heartfelt desire
and is expressed through encouraging, up lifting and thoughtful
instructions. This story is in almost all
Primers! This story precisely establishes the theme and
purpose for the Primers then and now.
The universal use of the Primers reflected the society's consensus to
educate their children in the same Puritan way that they were
educated. Freedom of education and freedom of religion were,
and
are, two high privileges not often found together in other countries of
the world.
-
-
It is estimated that 90%, +/-, of all of the material in all of the
"Primers" printed by the various printers had identical content and
that the 10% variation was only comprised of (1.) a proverbial body of
information, from which the printers substituted material, (2.) gradual
changes and improvements in spelling, language and printing, (3.) the
removal of all references to the monarchy and the King of England
during the Revolutionary period.
-
-
The original content of the 1843 Primer is identified by the original
page numbers. Although each page is not identical to the
original, it is word for word except some usage's, spellings and
footnoted items. Direct quotations of the Bible are updated
to
the New King James version and "thine, thy, thee & ye" have
been
changed to "you" or "your" but not changed where it would affect rhyme.
- The purposes for
publishing this work are:
- 1. As a textbook
for fulfilling my parental responsibility and exercising my
"unalienable right" to educate my children.
- 2. To provide it
for others who want it.
- 3. For preserving
the content and
allowing it to represent the Primer series of proven textbooks that
spanned 200 years of successful private and public education in America.
- 4. For
re-establishing the historic and public benchmark of required
achievement for the child's primary education.
- 5. To demonstrate
by practical example that the purpose
of education, which was required in new state charters by The Northwest
Ordinance of 1787, was intended to develop the religious and spiritual
man which produces character, morals, values and
civility.
- This is an
incredibly historic textbook that is very valuable for such additional
uses as:
- 1. Testing your
own education and improving or refreshing it.
- 2. Testing your
child's primary &
elementary education and providing a means whereby you may teach your
child(ren) wisdom and understanding. [see "How to Use This Book.]
- 3. For use as a
devotional book with
the added knowledge that our nation's Founding Fathers studied and
memorized these "same" words [90%, +/- ], ideas and concepts.
- 4. For
understanding our Founding Fathers conservative Biblical world view of
mankind, of nations and national events.
- 5. For
understanding the source of our
Founding Fathers basic principles of life, authority, justice and law
that produced the American republic form of government.
- 6. To allow the
reader, confronted by
the Truth and acknowledging the error of his ways, to repent and make a
personal decision to let Jesus Christ become Lord and Savior of his
life. [see "
Editor's
Author's Last Notes", Apx. B.1 & errata.]

1. Read through this text several times with the parallel thought that
our government, although not perfect, was fashioned by 56 men of which
more than 50 could profess a statement of faith similar to "THE
[APOSTLES] CREED" on page 9.
-
2. And with the thought that they, as children, probably memorized the
1727 edition; used the 1762 edition in their own children's education;
and fully expected the 1777 edition to be taught to their grandchildren
and ALL Americans.
- Mr. John Rogers,
... minister
of the gospel in
London, was the first martyr in Queen Mary's reign; and was burnt at
Smithfield, February the fourteenth, 1554. His wife, with
nine
small children, and one at her breast, followed him to the stake, with
which sorrowful sight he was not in the least daunted, but with
wonderful patience died courageously for the gospel of JESUS CHRIST.
-
A few days before his, death, he wrote the following advice to his
children: –––
-
- GIVE ear, my children, to my word,
-
- Whom God
has dearly bought;
- Lay up his
laws within your heart,
-
- And print
them in your thought.
- I leave you
here a little book,
-
- That you may
see your father's face,
-
- When he
is dead and gone, –––
- Who, for the
hope of heavenly things,
-
- While he
did here remain,
- Gave over all
his golden years
-
- To prison
and to pain;–––
- Where I,
among my iron bands,
-
- Not many days
before my death,
-
- Composed
for you this work.
- And for
example to your youth,
-
- I send you
here God's perfect truth,
-
- And seal
it with my blood; –––
- To you, my
heirs of earthly things,
-
- That you may
read and understand,
-
- And keep
it in your mind; –––
- That as you
have been heirs of that
-
- Which
once will wear away,
- You also may
possess that part
-
- Keep always
God before your eyes,
-
- With all
your whole intent,
- Commit no sin
in any wise,
-
- But keep
his commandments.
- Abhor that
arrant whore of Rome, 14
-
- And drink not
of her cursed cup;
-
- Give honor to
your mother dear;
-
- And
recompense her, in her age,
-
- With the
like love again.
- Be always
ready for her help,
-
- Remember well
your father all,
-
- Who
should have been your stay.
- Farewell, my
children, to the world,
-
- Where you
must yet remain;
- The Lord of
hosts is your defense
-
- Farewell, my
true, my loving wife,
-
- My
children, and my friends;
- I hope in
heaven to see you all,
-
- When all
things have their ends.
- If you go on
to serve the Lord,
-
- You shall
walk safely all your days,
-
- God grant you
so to end your days,
-
- As he
shall think it best,
- That I may
meet you in the heavens,

dead, and buried. The third day he arose again from the dead,
and
ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father
Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge both the quick
and
the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic6
church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Added, replaced or modified the 1843 text and/or wood cuts with similar
items as those found in the following editions of the New England
Primer: 1727, '62, '77, 1840, '44, '49 and/or the "Guide for the
Child", London, 1725 to exemplify the similarity of the numerous
editions spanning two continents and over centuries
of time ( 1554 to date).
- The mini book
review is concluded.
- You may want to
reread the Primer to grasp God's love and grace flowing over all of His
children; over the founders, governors, pilgrims
and their children; and
moreover, as emphasized in the Primer's theme by the blood bought prose
of this loving father:
- "Mr.
John Rogers... A few days before his death he wrote the following
advice to his children:-- ..."
- Isn't this the TRUE American Dream?
- The definition of what parents really desire
for their children?

SPIRITUAL CHARACTER
MATERIAL from the AMERICAN HISTORY &
GOVERNMENT VIDEOs.
- Abstract:
The balance of this web page contains excerpts of the five (5) Videos.
The intent is to demonstrate the CONTENT
of the Videos and spiritual character of our first leaders by using
selected quotations of our Founding Fathers and supporting material
from the American History & Government Videos. The Founding
Fathers' faith in their own words, in bold, outright statements of
faith in Jesus Christ, The Supreme Authority i.e. God, the Holy Spirit
etc., all of which shows that they were not in denial of the spiritual
realm. The integrity of these great men support Biblical
training
and demonstrate the words, concepts and ideas that became our
Constitution and other founding documents of the territories, states
& nation!
- A short
synopsis of each video is
listed below for the purpose of identifying the need for some level of
parental home schooling even if the children will be educated in the
public school system. What public school books
teach this
material? What other way will your child get this
material? Obviously then we would like to invite
you to buy
one or all 5 of these VHS tapes and accompanying
transcripts. These videos have the following TOP 5
important qualities: Each one:
- 1. is expertly
researched.
- 2. is explicitly
documented in the transcript, with the same title,
which simplifies further study.
- 3. includes excellent
graphics of historical paintings from the capitol collections and
others.
- 4. is highly educational
with a solid
foundation of truth cemented with facts; and with, the major concepts
lightly repeated for emphasis.
- 5. is presented in a
documentary and
scholarly form suitable for anyone. I think you will find them to be an
excellent source of information for, and addition to, your personal
history & government VHS collection of our great country. They
would also make excellent gifts.
- I recommend viewing
these videos in the following order for the following reasons:
- 1. FOUNDATIONS
OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT - (Item 5.9, FOAG_VHS
cassette, 20 minutes) Contains an exciting introduction
that unites the themes of all the videos. Discusses the First Amendment
& Establishment Clause.
-
- ~
- 2. AMERICA'S
GODLY HERITAGE - (Item 5.1, AGH_
VHS cassette, 59 minutes) This video broadens the Biblical principles
in FOAGand
expands the social consequences connection in a documentary
format.
-
- ~
- 3. THE KEYS TO
GOOD GOVERNMENT - (Item 5.3, KGG
VHS cassette, 59 minutes) Answers these questions. Does good government
depend on good voters, good politicians, good laws or something else?
You've heard about Multi-culture; but what is THE American
Culture?
-
- ~
- 4. EDUCATION AND
THE FOUNDING FATHERS - (Item 5.5, ED_VHS
cassette, 60 minutes) Find out how our Founding Fathers were educated
and how the new Government through the public schools were all
in agreement for 200 years about the methods and purpose
for education. Find out what the original standards were for educating
American children?
-
- ~
- 5. THE SPIRIT OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION- (Item 5.7, SAR_VHS
cassette, 55 minutes) Answers the questions: Who holds the power and
who is responsible for our form of government? What MOTIVATED
the Founding Fathers of our infant country to declare war on the
world's super-power nation of that day?
-
- ~
- Some of the content of
these videos has been
taught in the public schools in the past but not
now. Up to
this time remedial history on a large scale for public school children
with an emphasis on the "Godly men and events in America" has not been
available through the local church or anywhere else.
Therefore if
our children are going to "get it" at all, it will have to be from
home. What better way is there for parents to start than with
a
video and a transcript! BACK
TO BASICS IN EDUCATION is our best
hope for our children.
George
Washington:
"To the distinguished character of a Patriot, it should be our highest
glory to add the more distinguished character of a Christian." 3(pg. 7) George
Washington:
"Almighty and eternal Lord God, the great Creator of heaven and earth,
and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; look down from heaven
in pity and compassion upon me Thy servant, who humbly prostrate myself
before Thee."_1 George Washington: c 1779:
(Atthe
age of 47)
"was approached by Delaware Indian chiefs who desired that their youth
be trained in American schools. ...'You do well to wish to learn our
arts and our ways of life and above all, the religion of Jesus
Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than
you
are. Congress will do everything they can to assist you in this wise
intention.' " 3(pg. 15)
James Madison: b.
1757-1836:
"Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must
be considered a subject of the Governor of the Universe." _1 James Madison:
(Tradition attributes this quote
to Madison but it cannot be confirmed.)
"We have staked the whole of our political institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the the capacity of each
and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." 5(pg. 18)
Benjamin Franklin: b.
1706-90:
"We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings that 'except the
Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.' I
firmly
believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring
aid, we
shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of
Babel." 5(pg. 27)
& 1 Benjamin Franklin:
"The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth:
'that God governs in the affairs of men.' And if a sparrow
cannot
fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire
can rise without His aid?" 5(pg.
27) & 2
Alexander Hamilton: b.
1755-1804:
"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old
parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a
sunbeam,
in the whole volume of human nature by the hand of the Divinity itself,
and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."_1
Thomas Jefferson:
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the mind of man."_2 Thomas
Jefferson: (on his
death bed July 4, 1826) "I resign
myself to my God, and my child to my country." (and he wrote his own epitaph...)
"Here was buried, THOMAS JEFFERSON, Author of the Declaration of
Independence, Of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, And
Father of the University of Virginia." 15(pg. 182)
Abraham Lincoln:
"I know that the Lord is always on the side of right. But it
is
my constant anxiety and prayer that I - and this nation - should be on
the Lord's side." 5(pg.
27)
John Adams: b.
1735-1826:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious
people.
It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."4(pg. 6) John
Adams:
"Suppose a nation ...should take the Bible for their only law book, and
every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there
contained! Every member would be obliged in conscience to
temperance, frugality and industry: to justice, kindness and charity
towards his fellow men; and to piety, love and reverence toward
Almighty God." _1
John Adams:
"Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the
nation is indissolubly liked with the birthday of the Savior?
That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel
dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence
first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's
mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human
government upon the first precepts of Christianity?" 3(pg. 18)
Samuel
Adams: b. 1722-1803:
"The Rights of the Colonists as Christians. ...may be best understood
by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law-Giver
and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written
and promulgated in the New Testament." 3(pg. 6)
Noah Webster: b.
1758-1843:
"The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of
Christ and His apostles. This is genuine Christianity and to
this
we owe our free constitutions of government." 3(pg. 20)
Daniel
Webster: b. 1782-1852:
"If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and
breadth of this land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery,
corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end." _1
David
Barton: ...describing "a library .. (that)
contains textbooks used in America's schools from 1775 through 1900."
"An examination of the books in that library demonstrates that it is
indeed a difficult challenge to find any area
of curricular studies not based on the Bible and Christian principles."7(pg. 21)
Patrick Henry:
"Is Life so dear, or Peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of
Chains and Slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know
...but
as for me, give me Liberty, or give me Death!" 14 Patrick
Henry:
"I wish I could leave my most cherished possession - my faith in Jesus
Christ. For with Him you have everything; without Him you
have
nothing at all."_2
Patrick Henry: (Tradition
attributes this quote to Henry but it cannot be confirmed.)
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great
nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on
religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!" 5(pg. 5)
Charles Finney: b.
1792-1875:
[Evangelist] "The church must take right ground in regard to
politics... Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as
this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as part of their
duty to God...[God] will bless or curse this nation according to the
course [Christians] take [ in politics]."6(pg. 26)
George Mason: b.
1725-1792:
[The Father of the Bill of Rights] "As nations cannot be rewarded or
punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable
chain of causes & effects, Providence punishes national sins by
national calamities." 5(pg.
26)
"We
the People of the United States, in order to form a more
perfect Union, ... do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America...." _12
"Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ...." 13
[Article
the Third, Bill of Rights, {a.k.a. Amendment 1 of the
Constitution}; (45 total word count )(Was honored and upheld
from 1789 to 1947. There were NO EXCEPTIONS to the 1st
Amendment!)]
Martin Luther:
b. 1483-1546: "I am very much afraid that schools
will
prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in
explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of
youth. I advise no one to place his child
where the
Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every
institution
in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must
become corrupt." 7(pg.
21) but ...
( Our hope rests in God; 2 Chron. 7:14, "If my people, which are called
by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their

well for our Lord's plan for His children as well as for our nation and

- FOUNDATIONS
OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
- This short video acquaints viewers with the truth that the
current
doctrine of "separation of church and state" is something never
intended by the Founders. It not only surveys the historical records
surrounding the drafting of the First Amendment, but also documents
what has happened statistically since the Court rejected the Founders'
intent. It further shows that the current Court is beginning to return
to many values previously struck down. An excellent tool to use with
state or local officials to prove that they can include Godly values in
their polices. (20 Min., c1992)
-
- AMERICA'S GODLY HERITAGE
- The beliefs of our Founding Fathers concerning the proper
role of
Christian principles in education, government and public affairs. The
views of men like Patrick Henry, George Washington, John Adams, and
others are clearly presented and accompanied by famous portraits and
pictorial reliefs from America's history. Discover court cases showing
that for 160 years Christian principles were inseparable from public
affairs. Numerous graphs are used to document what has occurred since
the courts began rejecting the Founders' beliefs. (59 Min., c1992)
-
- KEYS TO GOOD GOVERNMENT
- In recent years, our government has been plagued with a
growing
number of scandals and increased corruption, yet for almost two
centuries American government was characterized as sound and morally
untainted. The change has come because of our disregard for the advice
given by the framers of our original government. Discover the keys to
good government by investigating the wise counsel of leaders like
William Penn, Benjamin Rush, and John Witherspoon, and learn how we can
reclaim the quality of government we once enjoyed. (59 Min., c1994)
-
- EDUCATION AND THE FOUNDING FATHERS
- This video examines the educational system which produced
our great
Founding Fathers. Learn not only about the school they attended and
textbook they used, but also discover how far we've strayed from their
plans to maintain a successful educational system. This video includes
famous portraits from America's history and many excerpts from original
textbooks and writings of the Founders. It is excellent for learning
what was intended by the Founders and what can be done to return to
their original plans for educational excellence. (60 Min., c1992)
-
- SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
- The American Revolution was to dream the unthinkable:
fifty-six men
pledged their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" to establish a new
& independent nation. What was the spirit that motivated these
remarkable men? What was the spirit behind the American Revolution?
Learn the answers to these questions as you investigate both their
words and their actions. Discover their strong reliance upon God for
wisdom and direction, and witness fascinating accounts of God's
providential care in many of their military endeavors. (55 Min., c1993)
