Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Puritans in England, And, the Pilgrim Fathers Our notions of the Puritans will be regulated by our no tions of the Reformers. It is shown, in the following pages, that Puritanism was the natural, inevitable fruit of the Re formation. Henry VIII. Was the remote author of the Bartholomew Act. Baxter was the true representative of Cranmer; and the ejected clergy of the reign of Charles II. Were the spiritual successors of the martyrs of Smithfield in the reign of Mary. It belongs not to English history to trace the principles of the Puritans through the records of other lands; otherwise, it would be easy to prove their identity with those of the earliest churches, even up to the beginning of the Christian era.
