My overall view on how puritan beliefs effect puritan literature is that it all depends on the topic. When there is a sad of enlightening section, the mood seems to be uplifting or depressing. When it talks about rule and an all powerful being with lessons to live by, it seems as if it gives off a demanding and a lecturing feel. Puritan writing is completely based off of history and beliefs.

The repetition of the so called "rules" and what would happen puts pressure on the one who they are being told to. This gives the effect that these would need to be followed.

The style of writing is almost like it is pure fact for religion. The way the text speaks of all this, "God's decision" has made it sound as if it will happen. The way it says that this happens for a reason and that this will happen when you do this, makes the writing style seem like straight fact out of religion.

The way they present new people in their writing explains deeply about them in a certain manner before actually naming the character. This was done when they were describing the Indian, Samoset's, relations with the English fisherman who he had become acquainted with. This is a good way to show how it all connects to the new introduction of someone in the story. This shows his connection and reason to be in the presents of the puritans.

This is more of a survival instinct rather than a belief, but this influenced their writing when they would lose so many. This gives a sad or gloomy feel to the entire writing style so far. On the Mayflower as well, it was given off as a hard and depressing time. Once they reached land, there was a brief happy feeling, but then after transitioning into the harsh natives and the brutal winter weather, there was another melancholy low

The puritans did not believe that the natives they had come across were kind because they did not show them any hospitality. (I mean I wouldn't blame them. There are several strange people hopping off a large boat. I would be freaked out and attack too.) It was also written and not experienced that the natives would greet them with weapons, as said in the text, "It is recorded in Scripture as a mercy to the Apostle and his shipwrecked company, that the barbarians showed them no small kindness in refreshing them, but these savage barbarians, when they met with them (as after will appear) were readied to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise."

With Puritan religious beliefs, they look at their fortunes as if they were brought to them by god. They say this when in the text it reads, "Being thus arrived in a good harbor, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on firm and stable earth, their proper element."
