①We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated.然而，我们不应忘记，大多数新英格兰人受教育程度较低。
however可以提到句首
that后面是宾语从句
New Englander：新英格兰人。
②While few crafts men or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized.虽然，很少有手工业者或农民，更不用说家属和仆人，留下了些许的可以用来分析的文学作品，但是，很明显，他们的观点是不够理智的。

craft n. 手艺；工艺；技能
let alone：更不要说
dependent n. 受抚养的人；家眷；靠他人生活的人
servant n. 仆人

主句部分：it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized.
it是形式主语，that部分才是真正的主语
view n. 看法；意见；观点；视野
intellectualize vt. 使理智化（这里的本质是说这些人没有受过太多教育，因为，理智是教育的产物，没有受过教育的人，只能凭借人性的本能去判断这个世界）

superstition n. 迷信。—— superstitious adj. 迷信的

④A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs.一个叫约翰·戴恩的裁缝，他在17世纪30年代晚期移民到了新英格兰，他留下了一份关于他离开英国（英格兰）的理由的解释（报告），上面写满了各种符号。
named部分是分词后置定语，修饰tailor
tailor n. 裁缝；vt. 调整；使适合（动词意思也会考）
who部分是非限定性定语从句，修饰JD
emigrate vt. 移民
句子主干：A tailor left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs.
account n. 解释；账户；报告
that部分是定语从句，修饰account
sign n. 符号；标志；标记
【逻辑梳理】这里是具体举例说明上一句的内容，这里的sign完全可以理解成为：“鬼符号之类的”，就是，在JD这个人的解释中，就充满了迷信的味道。
⑤Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hope—all came together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father that the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “Come out from among them, touch no unclean thing, and I will be your God and you shall be my people.”性混乱，经济挫折和宗教希望，所有这一切都在一个决定性的时刻到来，当他打开《圣经》，告诉他的父亲（上帝），他看到第一行将解决他的命运，并且，阅读这一行神奇而充满魔力的文字：“从他们中间出来，不要沾不洁净的物，我要作你们的神，你们要作我的子民”。

confuse vt. 使混乱；使困惑。—— confusion n. 困惑；混乱
frustrate vt. 挫败；挫折。—— frustration n. 挫折；懊恼。

when部分是定语从句，修饰moment：when he ①opened the Bible,②toldhis father that the first line he saw would settle his fate, and ③read the magical words（这里是三个句子）
the Bible：圣经
his father指上帝
that部分是宾语从句：the first linehe sawwould settle his fate, and read the magical words
he部分是省略that的定语从句
fate n. 命运。
magical adj. 魔力的；魔法的。
冒号后面是具体解释magical words的内容：“①Come out from among them, ②touch no unclean thing, and ③I will be your God and ④you shall be my people.”
这是四个句子，前两个是祈使句
them指的是前面说的性混乱那些内容
【逻辑梳理】这里是说，只要把那行神奇的文字念一遍，你的命运就会得到解决，就会有神的指引。
⑥One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermonsexplaining the Biblethat he heard in Puritan churches.有人想知道（好奇），戴恩对他在清教教堂里听到的、详细地解释《圣经》的布道有什么想法。
what部分是宾语从句

总结：第四段是说，大多数的新英格兰人是受教育少的，它们深受迷信影响。具体举例说明。受到很好教育的人，只是一小部分。大多数的新英格兰人，都是受教育很少的人。
