Compare And Contrast William Bradford And John Winthrop

They elected a man named William Bradford to be their leader for the rest of his life. They talk about god in their trip. “So they committed themselves to the will of god and resolved to proceed.” ( William Bradford 79). That means that they relied on god the whole trip. William Bradford was a humble person and kept accurate accounts of their voyage.

The excerpt “Of Plymouth Plantation” comes from a collection of journal entries written by William Bradford during his time in colonial America. In the writing, Bradford, through multiple writing techniques, clearly displays his Puritan beliefs of God and nature. The Puritan love for God shows in Bradford's writing through a sense of awe. An example of this follows: “they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought them very the vast and furious ocean,...” The people in the quote praised God and credited him for allowing their entrance into the new world. Also, in paragraph three, Bradford refers to a biblical story and compares it to the “barbarians” among them.

This is a view that begins with a God who embraces those outside of himself, who planned a redemption that centered on sacrificing himself of behalf of the Christian people. A Christian worldview is also seen as when you believe the bible is entirely true in that you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. Why is this view important to people? If you don’t believe in the truth of God and live by it, then all witness’s will be confused and mislead by the idea and teachings of the bible. This is a way of life that helps people live by the word of their

The word light was used by Henry, to show again that his views are like gods, and he is not against them. Extending his use of ethos Henry shows that he is religious and that he is establishing his stand as a Christian. Along with using biblical notes he also used a motif to show that the light is the same as fighting for God 's truth. Throughout the speech, Henry establishes various efforts to connect with his audience. He uses logos to show the convention that he has completed his research and fathoms what he is talking about.

“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25 KJV Thank God for his great and precious promises and for the Holy Ghost comforter that teaches us all things. Lord, please lead us all by your spirit into all truth. “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth…and he will shew you things

According to Arnold & Beyer (2008), “the terms of the covenant were a result of God’s grace and love for his people… [and they] established His bond of intimate relationship with them” (p113). All the Commandments show God’s redeeming grace for His people, “He gave them His law in the context of His redemption” (Clowney, 2013, p. 106), and are a “positive expression of God’s will for His people” (Arnold & Beyer, 2008). Clowney (2013) writes, The Ten Commandments begin with God’s description of Himself as the Redeemer of Israel: ‘I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery’ (Exodus 20:2). The great mistake of legalism is to detach the law of God from the God who gave it. (p 106) God is making it known to His people that He is their God, who saved them and is worthy of their love, worship and praise.

This whole poem shows how Cowper is a man of religion and uses real time events to show how God provides a path for excellence, while people take advantage of it. “Cowper 's immense popularity owed much to his advocacy of religious and humanitarian ideals at a time of widespread Evangelical sentiment, manifest as much in the moral zeal of the antislavery movement, which he fervently

Throughout the story of Beowulf, there are many examples of leadership. The most prevalent example in Beowulf is Hrothgar’s Sermon. In the speech Hrothgar talks about God making a leader, “Sometimes He allows the mind of a man of distinguished birth to follow its bent, grants him fulfilment and felicity on earth and forts to command in his own country. He permits him to lord it in many lands until the man in his unthinkingness forgets that it will ever end for him” (McArthur). Hrothgar said that God made leaders who were of noble birth, and let these leaders to control control their own country.

“Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to land , they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean.” (Bradford 80) As quoted by Bradford, the voyage on the Mayflower was not the best. They had to go through brassy weather, disease ,and being trapped on a boat for months. Furthermore, for the pilgrims it was a blessing to get to the new world knowing they had a chance at a fresh start and see land for the first time after being on a boat for months. Jamestown and Plymouth had many similarities ,but also many differences. First of all, Jamestown was mostly a male populated colony because they all worked independently with one goal in mind which was to become prosperous off of tobacco.

It’s not until Louie goes to a sermon and rediscovers god that he is saved and is free from the war memories in his mind, finally redeeming himself. III. Critical Evaluation of Work. Louie’s redemption is by far the most fascinating section of the novel. A promise he makes to God, while he’s castaway at sea, anchors him to a commitment to serve the Lord if he was saved.

He had poured everything into maintaining the “godly fervor” of the continental Army. Washington favored Leonard so much that he asked the pastor’s congregation if they would allow Abiel to stay for an extended tour and continue preaching the importance of the faith of god upon the

Loyalty and the Punishment That Follows a Puritan When it comes to spreading religious beliefs you can always wonder how much is too much. In typical Puritan culture life is considered a temptation to sin and you must always be grateful for what god has given you. Writing is a way to connect to god and spread a direct, powerful message to the followers of Puritan life. In result of their religion, bible allusions are commonly used throughout their writings. When comparing the two authors, Bradstreet and Edwards, one must look at some of their most common works.

They were always thanking God for the good things he had done for them, or calling on him in a time of need. For example, in Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford it states,“ Being thus arrived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the god of Heaven”. Being religious means to believe in God. Therefore, this shows that they were religious, because they were blessing him. To emphasize how religious they were, another example would be from the poem, “Verses upon the Burning of our house” by Anne Bradstreet.

In colonial America, written documents were one of the few primary sources of this time. All the way back to John Winthrop’s “A Model of Christian Charity’’ in the 1630’s. Winthrop’s sermon shows how the only way their colony will succeed is through God. Jonathan Edwards sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” shows people how powerful God is and what he capable of doing. George Washington shows that honesty, respect, and self-discipline are all values that colonial people live off of to survive in their new environment.
