The first paragraph in "Of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford shows the Puritan active in there belief system. It says's in the passage that even though a man was ridiculing people with sea sickness that they did nothing to stop him. this shows that the Puritans are very passive even when it is someone acting ungodly. In the passage the Puritans commit on the ungodly mans death by saying " And it pleased God". This depicts that the will not do any physical harm but leave punishment up to God. The Puritan's nature on being passive and letting God punish people is shown through the first passage of "of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford.
