Best Answer

Unvarying faith in their purpose- adversity was simply a way for God to challenge the elect.

Work ethic- hard work was glorified as it was required for survival of society.


Education- everyone needed to be literate enough to read The Bible.


Moderation- excess of any kind was considered self-centered rather than focused on God. Plainness and temperance.


Being one's brother's keeper- keep other in line


Introspection- constantly searching for traces of sin in oneself.

In Twelfth Night is Malvolio a Puritan?

Yes he is. I am studing Twelth Night at the moment, and he is definatley a puritan. -- Malvolio is only "a kind of Puritan".
