    ps: ask for tickets, ask for subscription


    Regardless of everyone''s unfinished business, Elvis quickly chose to leave, because, he didn''t lie, he was also a dock worker.


    However, unlike everyone else, he does not believe in the state religion, that is, Anglicanism.


    He believes in the Protestantism that came from the European continent—Calvinism. If it is more urate, he believes in a sect, which will be famous in the future, and all believers are called Puritans.


    The so-called Puritans refer to the religious reform movement that began in the first half of the 16th century and swept across the entire continent of Europe. Martin Luther in Germany and Calvin in France became the leaders of Protestantism after the Reformation.


    Due to the arbitrariness of the Anglican Church, the Reformation camete, but the Anglicans were still influenced by Calvinism, and it was still veryrge.


    In 1524, Tyndale, an Englishman, tranted the New Testament into English. He can be said to be the first Puritan in Ennd.


    The early Puritans wanted to live in full ordance with the principles of the Bible, and obedience to the teachings of the Bible can be said to be their primary task.


    Tyndale''s aim is for every literate person in Britain to have a Bible.


    Historically, Protestants in Ennd, those who believe in Calvinism and are dissatisfied with the teachings of the Anglican Church are called Puritans.


    Due to religious persecution in Ennd, most of the Puritans fled to the United States, so when people talk about Puritans, they generally refer to the Puritans in the United States.


    In history, the famous "Mayflower" ship, the pioneer of American immigrants, had more than a hundred people on board, all of whom were Puritans.


    What are Puritans?


    Puritans are not just a faction, but also an attitude, a tendency, and a value. It is a general term for the beliefs of believers.


    Puritans are the most devout Protestants with the most holy life. They believe that "everyone is a priest and everyone has a calling".


    I believe that each individual canmunicate directly with God, and oppose the arbitrariness, corruption, red tape, and formalism of the priest group.


    They advocate a simple, practical, and equal life of believers before God.


    If this is the case, Britain will not wantonly suppress the Puritanster.


    These Puritans have always been dissatisfied with the reform of the state religion, or they were dissatisfied with the iplete reform.


    Developed to the end, it even turned into supporting the national republic and opposing the monarchy, requiring the church to dominate the country, not the country to dominate the church.


    Of course, under such extreme circumstances, some people must be dissatisfied.


    So the Puritans were divided into two, moderate Presbyterians and independents.


    The Presbyterians supported the revolution together with the Independents at the beginning. After Cromwell failed, they immediately flirted with the Royalists and moved towards apromise route.


    Our independent faction is firm and unyielding, and would rather go to America than support the republic.


    Thus, the United States was born.


    Speaking of Puritans, we have to talk about its origin, Calvinism.


    This sect is extremely reactionary in the eyes of King Edward.


    Because it not only rejects the interference of the king and the government in religion, but also advocates republic and equality, and even requires the church to govern the country and make the government subordinate to the church.


    More importantly, he actually did it. Calvin directly turned Switzend into a **** country.


    Moreover, due to the emphasis on education and economic development, Switzend is developing well.


    Moreover, this person is very simr to the old Maozi ofter generations, and he likes to export his thoughts.


    Therefore, with precedents and sessful implementation, French Huguenots, Dutch Beggars, English Puritans, and Scottish Pledges were born sessively.


    "Elvis, how is your operation going?" During the break between work, a Calvinistpanion who also belonged to the firm faith asked softly.


    "It''s okay. Everyone is very interested in what I''m promoting, and they listened very engrossed. I think it won''t be long before someone will join us!"


    Elvis said excitedly with a little bit of excitement on his face.


    "Very good, keep working hard, I think our team will grow a lot in a short time!"


    "Well! I believe this day wille soon!" Elvis said confidently.


    Afterwards, with excitement, Elvis felt that his strength had increased a lot, and his steps were much easier.


    In this regard, he attributed everything to Almighty God, and his faith became more and more devout in his heart.


    He didn''t notice that when he was speaking, someone behind him was watching him.


    In less than ten minutes, two pigeons flew out of Plymouth.


    ...


    A dayter, two report letters were ced on Edward''s desk, while Guy Ham, the leader of the Dark de, and Jack from the Pce Intelligence Service stood on the king with their heads bowed.


    "Okay, that''s great, everyone has formed a scale and organized, and you just came here to tell me that Calvinism has taken root in Ennd!"


    Edward looked at the two leaders of the intelligence department who buried their heads in front of them and kept silent. He was so angry that he stared at them fiercely and said angrily.


    "You said, I spend tens of thousands of pounds every year to raise you, and you actually give me such a grade. Could it be that I have fed all the money to the dogs!"


    Having said that, Guy and Jack lowered their heads and knelt on one knee, saying that they dared not dare, Your Majesty forgives their sins.


    But the two of them were thinking in their hearts, if we only relied on the little money you gave without extra ie, we would have starved to death.


    Of course, they didn''t dare to show it on their faces, they still had the appearance of pleading guilty.


    Seeing this, Edward still looked at the two angrily, without saying a word.


    The air just solidified like this.


    The time was lost little by little, and more than half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.


    Edward saw a little white hair appearing on the top of Guy''s head, and saw that Jack had grown from a teenager to a strong young man. He sighed that time flies, and he sighed softly:


    "Get up, as a punishment, you will be fined half a year''s sry, and you will be resigned to stay in your post, so as to see the aftermath!"


    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" The two quickly got up and thanked, with a look of gratitude.


    "Guy, you Dark des are in charge of the area north of London, including Scond and other ces. Find out all the Calvinists, don''t act rashly!"


    "Yes, Your Majesty!"


    Afterwards, Edward looked at the young and strong Jack again, and ordered:


    "You, take all the members of the Pce Intelligence Department, and screen all the areas south of London for me, and don''t act rashly!"


    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Jack raised his head and replied sonorously.


    "As for London, the two of you act together, as yourparison, whoever wins will be rewarded!"


    Edward pointed to London on the map on the wall, nced at the two, and said meaningfully.
