2. Who was Anne Hutchinson?
• She was a New England religious leader and midwife.
• She followed Puritan leader John Cotton to Massachusetts to the Bay colony in 1634.
• Hutchinson is known chiefly for her role in the antinomian controversy
in Massachusetts Bay Colony. Her participation in so public an event, though rare for
premodern women, was not unique. From the early Christian era, female activism in
religious life gave some women high visibility, thus preserving their voices in the
historical record. The splintering of the Puritan movement in seventeenth-century
England gave women broader scope for leadership as lay preachers, visionaries, and
petitioners.

4. The Puritans
• The puritans were a form of English reformed protestants in the 16th and 17th century.
• They wanted to purify the church of England from its catholic practices.
• Puritans were blocked from changing the established church from within and were severely
restricted in England by laws controlling the practice of religion. Their beliefs, however, were
transported by the emigration of congregations to the Netherlands, and later to New England in
North America, and by evangelical clergy to Ireland (and later to Wales), and were spread into lay
society and parts of the educational system, particularly certain colleges of the University of
Cambridge. They took on distinctive beliefs about clerical dress and in opposition to
the episcopal system, particularly after the 1619 conclusions of the Synod of Dort were resisted by
the English bishops. They largely adopted Sabbatarianism in the 17th century, and were influenced
by millennialism
