Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell The first extant letter from Oliver Cromwell, printed by Thomas Carlyle, is dated at St. Ives, January 11, 1635-6. This was near the time when Thomas Hooker was on his way to make a settlement in Hartford. Hooker was already known. His latest sermons were published in London, and devoutly read by those who believed that "man has a soul to be saved," and doubtless by the farmer of St. Ives, who later on was to come into the Protectorate through the strait gate of this belief. This conception of life leads one to transact directly with God, seeing Divine Right nowhere else, and tends logically to the separation of Church and State. Here Hooker learned his democracy, and for this reason Cromwell rebelled against the invasion of the freedom of the soul in the unbridled tyranny of Charles and the intolerance of his bishops. In America, Hooker founded a democracy; in England, Cromwell fought for a free parliament and a constitutionally limited executive; but the spirit and purpose of both men were the same, and the Hartford minister and the Huntingdon gentleman are preeminently the leaders in that great movement of the seventeenth century which made the United States and is now transforming England.
