    The document outlines key aspects of Puritan beliefs and life in 17th century New England. It discusses that Puritans were English Protestants who sought to simplify religious practices and eliminate anything not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. As Puritans, they believed in predestination and that only a few were among the "elect" chosen for salvation. Puritan families lived modestly with the priorities of education, religion and strict gender roles. Life in villages like Salem was highly regulated with mandatory church services and no celebrations of holidays seen as pagan. The document concludes with mentioning the Salem Witch Trials where girls were accused of witchcraft.
