Robinson—English Presbyterian minister—observes that wealth confers a particular capacity poverty does not: to relieve prisoners, feed the hungry, ransom captives. He frames this as mercy from God, an opportunity rather than mere possession. One notes that considerable contemporary wealth appears directed at the opposite project: persuading the rest of us to feel less compassion for those being imprisoned or starved. Same resource. Rather different application.

Hildersham—Puritan, expounding Psalm 51—identifies reluctance to give to the poor as a faith problem. If you genuinely believed God’s promises, giving would present no difficulty. Preachers regularly deploy “if you truly believed, you would” for tithing and attendance. Curiously rarely for the poor. Hildersham would have found that selective.

Sibbes—Puritan, encouraging the backslider—offers a self-check for election. Colossians 3:12: put on bowels of mercy toward the fatherless and needy. That’s how you demonstrate you’re one of the elect. Modern conservative Christianity has developed different assurance criteria. Mercy toward the needy as evidence of election has been quietly retired. Sibbes didn’t get that memo.

Thomas Watson, that wonderfully blunt Puritan, basically says: lovely speeches about compassion are useless if the poor are still hungry. You can drizzle honeyed words everywhere—but the wounded need bread, not poetry. Better to be a saint with a loaf than an angel with a microphone.

Richard Baxter was an English #Puritan leader,says it’s a crime to equate humans and beasts, to buy and set to the same tasks. He was aware of slavery in Barbados.
Is the crime today, instead, to admonish this practice?
How can you think of how those who provide you with goods and services may be treated as beasts?

Puritans are well-known for their plain and 'sombre garments'. But did you know that the fashion of periwigs, powder, and fancy hair-dos was found before Charles II with those close to Oliver Cromwell?
