William Pynchon mockingly answered this man's demand for the commandeering of canoes to deliver relief aid by declaring such an act "the lawless law of discretion".
William Pynchon mockingly answered this man's demand for the commandeering of canoes to deliver relief aid by declaring such an act "the lawless law of discretion". Henry Wolcott, Jr. preserved some of an election sermon delivered by this man which included the phrase "the foundation of authority is laid firstly in the free consent of people", a sentiment which influenced a document drawn up by political allies of this man. He argued that people's ability to rule themselves was a recent, divine process in a work arguing against presbyterianism, A Survey of the Summe of Church-Discipline, though in The American Puritans, Their Prose and Poetry, Perry Miller argued against this man's role as a "father of American democracy". This man attacked the idea of unchecked magisterial governance in letters to John Winthrop discussing union of his colony with Massachusetts Bay in the wake of the Pequot War. For 10 points, name this Puritan pastor, the founder of the city of Hartford and the colony of Connecticut.
