 | | Williams regarded this proposal as an outrageous attempt at bribery and had the Salem church send to the other Massachusetts churches a denunciation of the proceeding and demand that the churches exclude the magistrates from membership. | | | The colony was named Providence, due to Williams' belief that God had taken care of him and his followers and brought them to this place. | | | William' religious and ecclesiastical attitude is well expressed in the following sentences (1643): |

| | Quodlibet Online Journal: On the Origins of Roger Williams' Notion of Religious Liberty |
| | It is also agreed, as Moore suggests (37), that Williams' view of the world is grounded centrally in a belief in the sovereignty of God, a belief, it might be noted, which makes consistent his use of typology. | | | Williams" and his writings are highlighted, making it clear that Backus considers him a central figure in the development of New England along the lines of religious freedom, and places his loosely within the Baptistic tradition. | | | This event cannot be minimized for the simple fact that it again and again enters into Williams' writings, not merely as a theme for gaining self-pity or sympathetic audience, but as the basis of arguments for the universality of conscience, legitimacy of secular state polity, and the insufficiency of the organized church. |

| | Justification by Faith and the Clarity of the Bible |
| | In saying this we are not ignorant of the fact that Catholic theologians past and present do talk about justification by grace alone, Christ alone, and at times, by faith alone. | | | The doctrine of justification by God's mercy alone, on the grounds of what Christ has already done, and through the vicarious righteousness of Christ which is imputed to faith alone, is a radical "No" to Romanism. | | | That epitomized the spirit of the Reformation — the spirit which was to a great extent lost in the age of Protestant scholasticism which followed. |

| | Partisan Review |
| | To the Puritans as well as to the Founders, the mingling of church and state "stank in the nostrils" (Roger Williams) because politics is, by definition, as distracting as it is corrupting, and hence a threat to the spiritual aims of life. | | | The impression is that the doctrine of separation was meant to keep religion out of politics; actually, it was the other way around. | | | It is always hazardous to question belief in progress by citing evidence of moral decline. |

| | Main Currents in American Thought |
| | The early churches of the theocracy were Presbyterian in spirit and rule in spite of the official promulgation of the covenant-principle in the Cambridge Platform. | | | To the layman, wanting in insight, it would seem rather to be stark Calvinism, that reveals how completely the coercive spirit of the Ordinances and Consistory of the French theologian had come to dominate the theocratic mind of New England. | | | Certainly real Separatists like Roger Williams, who suffered from too much brotherly counsel and did not want a Christian fellowship imposed by magistrates, were under no illusions in regard to the coercive spirit that lay behind the principle of consociation. |

This prophecy was the property of all Christians, and might receive different interpretations. | | | But withal they conjoined a cursed doctrine of Libertinism, which brought them to all abominable filthiness of life. | | | That great Republican leader, it was known, with all his deep practical astuteness and the perfect clearness and shrewdness of his speeches and business-letters, carried in his head a mystic Metaphysics of his own which he found it hard to express. |

| | Milton Review [14]: Six Good New Books on Milton |
| | Not one of this current lot is a rip-off in the sense that Scream 3 (or 4 or 5) might be, and not one is a mindless shuffle-along with whatever the current hip-hop in literary fashion might be. | | | In his monistic vitalism, according to Rogers, Milton was the unlikely bedfellow of Hobbes and Harvey, believing that an individual should not be divided into body and soul and believing very strongly in individualism. | | | Rumrich quietly takes apart (I did not say deconstructs) the arguments of the Fish-followers, and he respectfully disallows William Kerrigan’s Freudian Milton and his all-but-missing mother, to replace it with a pre-Freudian matriarchal system (Rumrich 10). |
