Macaulay on the Puritans
"The Puritan was made up of two different men, the one all self-abasement, penitence, gratitude, passion, the other proud, calm, inflexible, sagacious. He prostrated himself in the dust before his Maker; but he set his foot on the neck of the king."
I post this to show that it is not just some kind of aberrant American hyper-individualism, as the modern academic Reformed scholars claim, that rejects the authority of man in religious matters. It is the trait of a Bible believing, Holy Spirit inspired and discerning Christian. A prophet, priest, and king.
