    Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680

    Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680 MARK VALERI n March 1680 Boston merchant John Hull wrote a scathing letter to the Ipswich preacher William Hubbard. Hubbard I owed him £347, which was long overdue. Hull recounted how he had accepted a bill of exchange (a promissory note) ftom him as a matter of personal kindness. Sympathetic to his needs, Hull had offered to abate much of the interest due on the bill, yet Hubbard still had sent nothing. 'I have patiently and a long time waited,' Hull reminded him, 'in hopes that you would have sent me some part of the money which I, in such a ftiendly manner, parted with to supply your necessities.' Hull then turned to his accounts. He had lost some £100 in potential profits from the money that Hubbard owed. The debt rose with each passing week.' A prominent citizen, militia officer, deputy to the General Court, and affluent merchant, Hull often cajoled and lectured his debtors (who were many), moralized at and shamed them, but never had he done what he now threatened to do to Hubbard: take him to court. 'If you make no great matter of it,' he warned I.

    SAMUEL SEWALL Defender of the Rule of Law?

    gross.1-148 11/3/06 9:06 AM Page 3 SAMUEL SEWALL Defender of the Rule of Law? 1 John R. Vile T IS BOTH APPROPRIATE AND ironic to describe Samuel Sewall as a defender of the rule of law. It is appropriate because Sewall embodied many of the qualities of a good judge for more than thirty years. He was an earlyI advocate of equal rights for African Americans and Native Americans and a defender of the view that women, like men, had souls and would share heavenly joys. Moreover, Sewall represents the culture of Puritanism, which laid important foundations for Ameri- can law by distinguishing between liberty and license and by valuing, though not always extending to others, liberty of conscience. To describe Sewall as a defender of the rule of law is ironic because although he was neither a lawyer nor formally trained in the law, he served as a judge in the notorious Salem witch trials, which led to the death of twenty inno- cent victims. Sewall was a man of faith at a time when fellow citizens considered knowledge of the Bible, and especially the Old Testament, more impor- tant than knowledge of contemporary books of law. Had Sewall been more skeptical of the wide-eyed claims of the young witnesses in the Salem witch trials or had he been trained in cross-examination and other trial techniques, he would have served the cause of justice better. gross.1-148 11/3/06 9:06 AM Page 4 I John R. Vile However, his belief in being accountable to God prodded him—alone among his fellow judges—to apologize publicly for his role in the trials.

Title: Subordinate Saints: Women and the Founding of Third Church, Boston, 1669-1674 Although seventeenth-century New England has been one of the most heavily studied subjects in American history, women's lived experience of Puritan church membership has been incompletely understood. Histories of New England's Puritan churches have often assumed membership to have had universal implications, and studies of New England women either have focused on dissenting women or have neglected women's religious lives altogether despite the centrality of religion to the structure of New England society and culture.
