Was it only his pluralism which was negative, or do you have also some positive things concerning Williams ?
Do you mean with pluralism that he accepted non-christian religions ?

"To our mind, either everything or nothing must be held in subjection to the will and providence of God. Even the wickedness of ungodly men is restricted by predestination, so that the wrath of man shall praise God, and the remainder of wrath He will restrain." - GILBERT BEEBE (1800-1881)
