Amerigo Vespucci

 Amerigo Vespucci

"GOD be praised: where we were received very well and beyond all belief: because all the city believed us lost: since the other ships of the fleet had all been lost through the arrogance and folly of our captain, for so GOD does reward pride."- The Fourth Voyage 

Amerigo Vespucci was an explorer who was born in Portugal and was able to discover the Americas after Christopher Colombus had successfully completed his expedition. We learn that after the successful expedition of Christopher Columbus, other nations also attempted to send explorers to the New World. We learn that history attests to the manner that there were Christian nations that sent explorers in order to preach.

We learn that since Cristopher Columbus, Spain was able to build churches and schools in the Americas. We learn that this was with the intention to worship the Creator, GOD Almighty. Amerigo was also an explorer who placed the importance on the worship of GOD Almighty. Amerigo was able to make an expedition with ships from Portugal and was able to land in the Americas. 

We learn from excerpts that were written from Amerigo, that he was able to successfully land in the New World with his expedition while other ships that were captained by an arrogant and irresponsible captain were destroyed. We learn that Amerigo describes the importance of humility in being able to persevere. In his letter, we read that he worships and praises GOD Almighty for being able to persevere in the expedition. 

Amerigo also describes that the arrogant captain from another ship caused the ship to be destroyed and did not persist. This describes that we are supposed to persevere with humility in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that this describes the importance of worshiping GOD Almighty above everything and not practicing vices and arrogance.
