I was admittedly high on muscle relaxers when I invented a game for my class called #Puritan #D&D the night before. Nevertheless, it was well received.

#AnneHutchinson was expelled from the #Puritan #MassachusettsBayColony on #ThisDayInHistory in 1638. Her great 'crime' was preaching sermons, attracting a following, and teaching the Bible while 'unfortunately' being a woman. #Patriarchy and #misogyny are crimes against humanity.

Black background quote graphic featuring an engraved portrait of Jeremiah Burroughs (1599–1646) on the left, identified as the author of An Exposition of the Prophecy of Hosea. On the right is a quotation warning that widespread lack of mercy, amid many daily objects of pity and commiseration, provokes God’s serious controversy with a people.
Jeremiah Burroughs, Puritan preacher, reading Hosea 4:1: when a land shows no mercy to the many in need, God has a controversy with it. True hesed is not mere loyalty—it moves us to compassion. When suffering surrounds us, will we respond with mercy?

Black background quote graphic featuring an early printed title page on the left and the name William Attersoll (d. 1640), identified as the author of A Commentary upon Philemon. On the right is a quotation describing strangers, prisoners, and the needy as despised by the world yet dear to Christ, “as the apple of His eye,” and warning that believers are unworthy to be esteemed by Christ if they do not regard such people as of the greatest value to Him.
William Attersoll, English #Puritan, reading Philemon: the lowly—strangers, prisoners, the naked—are scorned by the world, yet they are Christ’s own, the apple of his eye. If we cannot cherish such souls, bought at highest price, how shall we claim to cherish him?

When I was a kid, casual nudity was considered normal, both in movies and in public places like beaches. I grew up with that belive and it is so strange how public perception shifted into puritanism both on the right and the left over the years...

Alt text: Black background quote graphic featuring a portrait of Richard Sibbes (1577–1635), Puritan minister, beside text from The Returning Backslider. The quote says that true children of God show “bowels of mercy,” a deep compassion that overflows in acts of kindness, while hard-heartedness shows a person has not yet tasted God’s mercy.
Sibbes on Phil. 2:1: gut-felt compassion marks God’s children—expressed in deeds toward others. Forget charts of piety or prayer hours. The test of salvation is simple: do you have a heart that opens?

Black quote card featuring a portrait of William Perkins (1558–1602) on the left, labeled Commentary on Galatians. The quotation on the right cites St. Ambrose, urging Christians to relieve others’ needs according to their ability—even beyond it—echoing Paul’s praise of the Corinthians’ generous giving (2 Corinthians 8:3).
William Perkins, #Puritan leader, read Galatians 6:10 as a real command: do good to all—even beyond comfort or ability, like the Corinthians and as Ambrose urged. Charity was not optional devotion but duty. How might we relieve the needs placed before us today?

Black background quote graphic with white text. A long excerpt urges self-examination for barrenness in works of mercy, calling believers to confess stinginess toward charity while being generous toward their own desires. Attribution at the bottom reads: Robert Harris (1581–1658), “A Sermon Touching Prayer and Mercy.”
Robert Harris, a #Puritan and Westminster divine, complains that we’re impressively generous to ourselves and astonishingly tight-fisted toward God and neighbour. He says this should shame us into repentance. If that sermon feels unnecessary today… well, that might be the problem.

Black quote card with an oval portrait of William Gouge on the left, wearing a clerical cap and white collar. Beneath the portrait, white text reads “WILLIAM GOUGE (1578–1653)” and Of domesticall duties. On the right, a long white quotation rebukes household covetousness—describing wives who hoard goods, refuse to give to the poor, and allow food and supplies to spoil rather than be shared—concluding that such waste and neglect of the needy cry out to God for judgment.
#Puritan minister William Gouge warns that some guard full pantries yet begrudge crumbs to the poor—then calmly throw spoiled food away. He says both the wasted food and the hungry will cry out before God. What does faithful stewardship look like in your kitchen?

Black background quote card. On the left is a small engraved portrait of Thomas Gouge, a 17th-century Puritan minister, wearing clerical dress. Beneath the portrait: “THOMAS GOUGE (1605–1681)” and the title “The Surest and Safest Way of Thriving.” On the right is a long quotation in white text stating that rich men have the means to obtain a “good inheritance” if they had the heart to use it; that charity claims no merit (ex congruo or condigno), yet God will richly recompense it both in this life and the next.
William Gouge, #Puritan minister, argues that charity earns no merit before God, yet God still freely rewards it in this life and the next. He laments that the rich, though able to gain a “good inheritance,” often lack the heart to give. How will you use what you have?

Black quote card with a cropped image of an early printed book page titled Three Treatises on the left. Beneath it, white text reads “WILLIAM ATTERSOLL (d. 1640)” and A commentary upon Philemon. On the right, a long white quotation argues that since Christ calls all believers brethren, no social rank—rich or poor, ruler or servant, free or bound—has grounds for disdain, affirming equality in redemption before God.
William Attersoll, #Puritan, reads Philemon and asks whether anyone Christ calls “brother” may be despised in matters of redemption. If God is not ashamed to name rich and poor, master and servant alike, how can we justify disdain? The question presses every age: what divisions do we still defend?

Black quote card with a grayscale portrait of Thomas Manton on the left. Beneath it, white text reads “THOMAS MANTON (1620–1677)” and Sermon CXXXIV. On the right, a long white quotation reflects on Ecclesiastes 5:8, acknowledging oppression of the poor and corrupted justice, and affirms that though the poor have no earthly defender, God—the supreme Lord—will not fail to own and vindicate them.
Thomas Manton, English #Puritan, preaching on Ecclesiastes, acknowledges ongoing oppression of the poor by the powerful. He urges patience before God, who will surely own the afflicted—without denying their suffering. Faith, he implies, neither excuses injustice nor silences the poor.

Black quote card with an engraved portrait of Richard Bernard holding a book on the left. Beneath the image, white text reads “RICHARD BERNARD (1568–1641)” and A ready way to good works. On the right, a long white quotation argues that giving to the poor should be done willingly and without resentment, warning that money grudgingly forced from “glewy fingers” is a compulsory payment, not a true act of mercy or charity.
Richard Bernard, #Puritan minister, warns that charity wrung from unwilling hands profits the soul nothing. Writing on taxes for the poor, he says resentment and resistance empty the gift of spiritual good. The issue isn’t payment alone—but the heart that pays.

Black background quote card featuring Paul Baynes (1573–1617), a Puritan clergyman. On the left, a small image of a title page fragment and Baynes’s name and dates. On the right, a quote warning not to overreach the poor in prices or wages, noting a single penny may be all they have, like the widow’s mite, and that God is an avenger (1 Thess. 4:6).
Paul Baynes, a Puritan cleric, reads “stop stealing” and says it includes nicking pennies from the poor via wages and prices. That “tiny” loss might be their whole livelihood. Cheat a brother and you don’t beat the market—you meet an Avenger. What will you share?

Black background quote graphic featuring an engraved portrait of Thomas Gouge on the left. Text identifies him as “Thomas Gouge (1605–1681)” with the title The Surest and Safest Way of Thriving. On the right is a quotation warning that unmercifulness is a greater sin than many imagine and was among the sins of Sodom that brought fire and brimstone, citing Ezekiel 16:49.
Thomas Gouge, a #Puritan, says the fastest way to divine displeasure isn’t exotic vice but plain old unmercifulness—Ezekiel blamed it for fire and brimstone. Today we flinch less at ignoring the poor than at offending wealth. Curious priorities. How might mercy look now?

ALT text: Quote graphic featuring an engraved-style portrait of John Flavel (1627–1691), shown in clerical dress with shoulder-length hair. The image presents a quotation from Saint Indeed, where Flavel argues that Christianity proves its supernatural purity by forbidding revenge and urges believers to obey God even when resentment feels justified.
John Flavel, a #Puritan minister, says refusing revenge once proved Christianity’s supernatural quality. Even if an enemy deserves payback, does God deserve disobedience?
Today we barely try. So—how, exactly, will you love an enemy now?

ALT text: Black background graphic featuring a historical portrait of James Pilkington (1520–1576), shown in clerical dress and cap. Large white text quotes Pilkington from A Godly Treatise Against the Foul and Gross Sin of Oppression, contrasting beggars who harm themselves to gain money with those who profit from the suffering of others.
Pilkington, a #Puritan, allows disdain for beggars who fake leg injuries. But he asks the sharper question: what of those who get rich by keeping other people’s legs sore? Scripture seems keen on less pain. So—how will you avoid profiting from oppression?

Here is clear, accessible ALT text suitable for a woodcut portrait with overlaid quotation: Woodcut-style portrait of Richard Stock (1569–1626), an English Puritan minister. The image includes a quotation from his commentary on Malachi criticizing those who spend freely on entertainment while giving little or nothing to support preaching, despite benefiting from the ministry.
Richard Stock, an English #Puritan, complains that people happily spend on amusements but suddenly go tight-fisted when it’s time to support preaching. They enjoy the sermon—just not enough to pay for it. So… what exactly counts as the Lord’s portion?
(Can underpaid preachers be a SJ issue?)
