Meet The Puritans

Puritanism According to Edward Leigh

Posted on 15. Sep, 2012 by Ryan McGraw in Book Reviews

This useful quote on the term “Puritan” may be familiar to some. It may appear elsewhere, but the citation below is from Edward Leigh:
“Puritan in the mouth of a drunkard doth mean a sober man, in the mouth of an Arminian it means an Orthodox man, in the mouth of a Papist it is a Protestant, and so it is spoken to shame a man out of all religion.” (Edward Leigh, A Body of Divinity, 532).
