The Puritans by Arlo Bates is a comprehensive book that delves into the history, beliefs, and practices of the Puritan movement in England and America during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book examines the origins of Puritanism, its development and spread, and its impact on society, politics, and religion.The author explores the Puritan's strict religious beliefs, their emphasis on personal piety and discipline, and their rejection of the Catholic Church's rituals and hierarchy. The book also covers the Puritan's role in the English Civil War, their migration to America, and their influence on American culture and politics.Bates provides a detailed analysis of Puritan literature, including the works of John Bunyan, John Milton, and Anne Bradstreet. He also discusses the Puritan's views on education, family life, and gender roles.Overall, The Puritans is a well-researched and informative book that provides a comprehensive understanding of this influential religious movement. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of religion, politics, and culture in England and America.He remembered how it had seemed to him--to him, a priest--sweet to die if he might die clasping unrebuked this woman in his arms. The blood throbbed in his temples as he recalled the wild thoughts that had swirled in a mad throng through his brain in those moments which had seemed like hours; the blood throbbed, too, in his wounded arm, so that a groan forced itself through his parched lips. He was constantly throwing himself to and fro as if to escape from some teasing thought, always to be by the sharp pang in his wound brought to a sense of his condition. The whole night passed in an agony of mind and body.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
