1. a. The pilgrims are in Holland contemplating if they should move or not. It was very hard for them to be there because the conditions were very harsh for their living. They had to work a lot and some of them just wanted to enjoy and worship God but they could not do that while dealing with all the hardships. If there was a place to move it could take away their problems and make things easier. If they were to move they would be able to worship God as they wished. b. The main idea is that the pilgrims wanted to leave Holland because they had many difficulties living there. Moving would make their problems easier and fix some of the hardships.

2. "And first, they saw and found by experience the hardnes of the place and countrie to be such, as few in comparison would come to them, and few that would bide it out, and continew with them."
