John Cooke Response 15 seth



1/2/1630/

  Today is horrible. A bunch of Puritans copied our idea and came to New England. I bet I can't throw a stone without hitting a puritan .  The puritans think that they're always right. They hate Quakers. I think they should still respect the people of different fate even if they are dead wrong. But John Winthrop said to us all "We must consider that we shall be as a city on a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us." For a reason I have no idea why they brought a charter from King Charles.

The charter is giving us a bunch of new rules making life here so much harder. For reasons I don't know they look down on us. I think it's because they want to change the churches. I wonder why they pretend they're perfect?  I mean we did run away from England but look at what they did.

  I gotta say there must be hundreds of puritans here. Although complaining doesn't get me anywhere. At least it's better than having people who expect you to go to their church. It's alright that the puritans are reminding me it could be worse.

 Well the light is leaving I should retire.
