Puritanism And Its Discontents PDF Download

Excerpt from Century of Puritanism, and a Century of Its Opposites: With Results Contrasted to Enforce Puritan Principles, and to Trace What Is Peculiar in the People of Lynn to What Is Peculiar in Its History The people of Lynn are no race of imitators. They are in one sense, if not in the best sense, a peculiar people. And they have the advantage, or disadvantage, of being well known abroad. But the causes which have made them what they are, are not so well known abroad. Yet they should be. For such a knowledge is capable of being turned to a rich account. The religious history of the town has been very peculiar, and in that are found the sources of the existing peculiarities of the people. And all the remarkable turns of the history give illustration of the force of important principles of Christianity.
