Puritans looked to The Bible primarily as their source of morality. There are traditionally 5 Puritan "tenets" or values.
1. Original Sin - as consequence of Original Sin, the Sin of Adam and Eve in eating the Apple of Knowledge of Good and Evil, all mankind is vile, unredeemed.
2. Grace - Sine the Puritan thought of God as the universal cause of good in the world, human success was a result of God's love; failure was the result of a lack of it.
3. Predestination - If God loved some and didn't love others (since God was all-knowing) he must have known from all eternity whom he would love and whom not.
4. The Elect - if you were a Puritan you were the saving remnant, chosen by God from all the world of sinners.
5. Good Works - Doing good, succoring the poor, needy, and weak, was a possible sign of election, but could not be a cause of it.
