      abstract = {Puritans did not find a life free from tyranny in the new  world-they created it there. Massachusetts emerged a  republic as they hammered out a vision of popular  participation and limited government in church and state,  spurred by Plymouth pilgrims. Godly Republicanism  underscores how pathbreaking yet rooted in puritanism's  history the project was.Michael Winship takes us first to  England, where he uncovers the roots of the puritans'  republican ideals in the aspirations and struggles of  Elizabethan Presbyterians. Faced with the twin tyrannies of  Catholicism and the crown, Presbyterians turned to the  ancient New Testament churches for guidance. What they  discovered there-whether it existed or not-was a republican  structure that suggested better models for governing than  monarchy.The puritans took their ideals to Massachusetts,  but they did not forge their godly republic alone. In this  book, for the first time, the separatists' contentious,  creative interaction with the puritans is given its due.  Winship looks at the emergence of separatism and puritanism  from shared origins in Elizabethan England, considers their  split, and narrates the story of their reunion in  Massachusetts. Out of the encounter between the separatist  Plymouth pilgrims and the puritans of Massachusetts Bay  arose Massachusetts Congregationalism.},
