TLDR
In this article, the authors look at all the major issues of the time - oath-taking and the Sabbath, bawdy courts and poor relief - and consider Puritan stress on the household (rather that the parish) and the dignity of labour.Abstract:
To understand the English (or Puritan) Revolution and Civil War, the struggles which tore England apart in the mid 17th century, one needs to understand Puritanism.

Professor Hill looks at all the major i ssues of the time - oath-taking and the Sabbath, bawdy courts and poor relief - and considers Puritan stress on the household (rather that the parish) and the dignity of labour. The author also wrote "The World Upside Down".read more
