  6. Who came to America, and why? I. Church of England (Anglican) 1607 Jamestown 1693 College of William & Mary II. Pilgrims 1607 “Scroobyites” Holland 1620 Left England on Mayflower Mayflower Compact “church covenant applied to a political situation” “Aimed for Virginia, hoped for Newfoundland, arrived in Mass”

  7. “But though these things did trouble them they did not dismay them, for since their desires were set on the ways of God and the enjoyment of his ordinances, they therefore rested on His providences and knew whom they had believed” John Brown Pilgrim Fathers After 7 years 267 came 58 died 53 moved 156 remained, plus servants

  8. III. Puritans “It was an effort to rid the Christianity of England from all things contrary to biblical revelation, to remove all things whether in doctrine, discipline, ceremony or polity which had been added by Rome” Dr. Panosian “It was a vigorous effort to bring God’s discipline to this world, its people, and, preeminently, to God’s Church” Ahlstrom, p. 128 Ecclesiastical Political Doctrinal Who were the Puritans? Where did they come from?

  9. How did the Puritans leave England? 1628 New England Co. 1629 Massachusetts Bay Company 1630 April 8th Four ships sailed; Gov. John Winthrop • They had a firm covenant with one another; • They had a commission from God to go; • That the entire body must dwell together in Scriptural fashion; and, • That they would be examples to the present world and to future generations ‘a citty on a hill’

  10. What did the Puritans seek to establish in New England? A colony in which they could order their affairs so as to please God in everything they did CHURCH • They never renounced the Church of England We will not say as the Separatists were wont to say at their leaving England, “Farewell Babylon! Farewell Rome!” But we will say, “Farewell, dear England; farewell, the Church of God in England; and all the Christian friends there!” We do not go to New England as Separatists from the Church of England, though we cannot but separate from the corruption in it. Francis Higginson

  11. They formed Churches by voluntarily covenanting together then calling or ordaining a pastor, or both • They employed a congregational form of church government CIVIL • Civil government was God ordained • Only church members should vote • No democracy but oligarchy “the rule of the many by the few”

  12. The church and state were separate, but dependent on each other The Puritans wanted nothing of “religious toleration” Applications or conclusions • We must distinguish between our belief that they erred in their position regarding the relationship between the church and state while recognizing that they were following their own sincere convictions • We must recognize that they attempted to maintain the unity of Christ’s universal church and not to be divisive
