Which three sentences in the passage best show the author's belief that Plymouth Colony's fate was guided by divine Providence?

1.)And of these in the time of most distress, there was but 6 or 7 sound persons, who, to their great commendations be it spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed them meat, made their beds, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them; in a word, did all the homely and necessary offices for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named; and all this willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren.
A rare example and worthy to be remembered. Two of these were Mr. William Brewster, their reverend Elder, and Myles Standish, their Captain and military commander, unto whom myself, and many others, were much beholden in our low and sick condition.
2.)Yet the Lord so upheld these persons, as in this general calamity they were not at all infected either with sickness, or lameness.
3.)And what I have said of these, I may say of many others who died in this general visitation, and others yet living, that whilst they had health, yea, or any strength continuing, they were not wanting to any that had need of them.
4.)And I doubt not but their recompense is with the Lord.

The excerpts that show that the Plymouth Colony was created according to God's provision are the excerpts that show that the inhabitants of the colony underwent great suffering, but that God sustained and blessed them.

These excerpts are answer options 1, 2 and 4.

The excerpts are taken from "Of Plymouth Plantation" which was a diary of one of the members of the first English colony in the US.

When reading this diary, we are presented with the following information:

  • The colonists went through a lot of difficulty in establishing the colony.
  • Among the difficulties were hunger, death, disease, homelessness and fear.
  • The settlers were very religious, they were Puritans and they trusted that God would help them to overcome all these difficulties.
  • Gradually they managed to overcome the challenges and had a very prosperous life after the colony was established.
  • They believed that prosperity was God's reward in their lives.

From this, we can conclude that religion was something that gave the colonists a lot of support and strength in their early days on the American continent.
