Which of the following statements about the English Puritans is NOT true?
They were Protestants who sought to purify the Church of England and return to a simpler form of worship.
They believed that the clergy and government should act as intermediaries (people who act as a go-between) between the individual and God.
Some of them thought the Church of England was too corrupt to reform and called for complete separation from it.
They wanted to establish a new society that would be a profitable colony modeled on God’s word.
Because Puritans believed that the arrival of God’s grace was demonstrated by saintly behavior, they —
thought it was easy to determine who was saved and who was damned
could try to earn salvation by giving money to the church
tried to behave in as good a way as possible
thought there was no need for rigorous self-examination

Africans restrained in the holds of slave ships
Ice Age peoples who traveled across a land bridge from Asia
English Puritans who traveled across the Atlantic Ocean
explorers from Spain
