Yeah, that John Owen desperately wanted to be a Puritan, but he was too nice to Bunyan. Cromwell, too, had a chance at establishing that "divine right" but blew it.

Sorry, just had to point out that Puritans were not monolithic on these subjects. Now back to your regularly scheduled edifying thread. . . . .
