The first important Puritan we chose was John Winthrop, he was important because he was the leader. He reminded them of their duties and obligations under the agreement, if they completed them they were blessed, but if they didn't they were punished. Roger Williams was also a religious leader but he believed that the government should be separated from the church. He also thought people should have more religious freedom. Last, was Anne Hutchinson she spoke out against the Puritan leaders of Massachusetts. She said that they were focusing on the "works" for salvation and not "faith".
