In this unique collection; noted historian Edmund Morgan focuses upon three ideas that lay at the root of Puritan political theory and have had a continuing significance in our history: calling; covenant; and the separate spheres of church and state. The selections show the origin of these ideas in the writings of the early English Puritans before the colonization of America; in seventeenth century New England; and finally in new contexts in the eighteenth century. One may read these documents as primary sources of Puritan thought per se; as sources of American intellectual history; or as sources of a political theory that flowered in the early years of the new constitutional republic. --from the Foreword
