Tenets of Puritanism

These are brief summaries of the 5 tenets from http://iws.ccccd.edu/mizell/2327/Puritanism.htm. Those who were part of this faith in Salem believed these things:
1. Supremacy of Divine Will- God was the absolute will.
2. Depravity of Man- Occurred because Adam disobeyed God.
3. Election- Only a few select would be saved.
4. Free Grace- God's grace is not won, it is given.
5. Predestination- God has already decided on people's fate.
