Colonial Time
Colonial Time (1607-1765) Immigrating to America in 1607, the Separatists wanted to practice their own religion. Unhappy in England, the Separatists came to America on the Mayflower setting out to sea to America. Upon their arrival, sickness meet more than half of them causing the first year to be the "Starving Time."In 1619, plantation systems, as well as slavery grew. The Separatists were later called Pilgrims because they made a pilgrimage for religious reasons. The Puritan religion was based on Calvinism. Great writers named Jonathan Edwards, Edward Taylor, and William Bradford led examples of the Puritan beliefs and Colonial times. Sinners in the Hands of an angry God, a sermon, which was preached by Jonathan Edwards, briefly states how sin will weigh people down and destroy your soul to bits of pieces until Hell is satisfied. Comparing life to sewing takes us to Huswifery, a poem, written by Edward Taylor. Writer William Bradford, author of Of Plymouth Plantation, a history of the time, describes the pilgrimage of the Separatists and their beliefs in God. All three writers develop the Puritan idea t
Departing from England, the Separatists put their lives in the hands of God. hat God is the only judger, who selects His people to extend His salvation and mercy on. Huswifery is a prayer in which a person is asking God for grace and guidance. The Puritans also believed in predestination, which led the Puritans to believe that God had chosen if you're going to Heaven or Hell before your birth. The soul is like a spool that gathers the thread from the wheel and his social behavior is directed to the reel to which the transfer of finished thread to the spinning wheel takes place. God granted us his salvation by the death of his only son, Jesus Christ. During their flight, one of the beams on the Mayflower cracked, but God saved the Pilgrims with an iron screw the passengers had brought with them. Jonathan Edwards stressed the Puritans emotional side of religion, scaring people by explaining how God can protect us for only so long. Relating to the "Doctrine of Elect" the Puritans believe that God is the only true Lord who gives salvation to whom He wishes. As for the sinners, a grievous penalty at hand will be granted with eternity in Hell. God can only extend His hand and hold the sinners in His possession for so long, and for those who follow God's way, they shall be delivered to paradise. Believing God controls everything, the Puritans turned to God's help to avoid evil. Aboard the Mayflower, Bradford amongst a hundred other Puritans made it to America on December of 1620. In Huswifery, Taylor develops a comparison between cloth making, a household task, and God's grace, salvation.
