In one way the puritans had good motives. but becuase they wanted to do things the they thought that was right.. that was one was reason they kinda went downhill.
If you asked me about justice and asked me then if the mother of an aborted child was to die for her actions of murder and other questions etc. i wouldn't know how to answer. but only God knows what happens to that baby or that mother. God is soveriegn and He is not a man that He would lie. So in a sense, who are we to judge someone else? I don't believe that the acts of the puritans were completely wise. God gave us free will but later on those choices will always either reward us or give us consequences. The puritans didn't really give a choice.
In revelation it says that Jesus is Faithful and True, so I think that only He has the complete authority to judge and establish righteousness on earth. The puritans tried to judge on their own standards but God is all knowing and he loves to show mercy. And in 1 corinthians ( i think :) it says that we have the mind of Christ. and that if we lack wisdom that we will recieve from the one who gives generously ( James 1:5).
So yea i just think that the puritans weren't completely correct and stuff but they are humans!
