Puritans looked to the Bible chiefly as their foundation of morality. There are by tradition 5 Puritan "tenets" or values.
1. Original Sin - as a result of Original Sin, the Sin of Adam and Eve in eating the Apple of Knowledge of Good and Evil, all mankind is dreadful, unredeemed.
2. Grace - Sine the Puritan thought of God as the universal cause of good in the world, human success was a result of God's love; disappointment was the result of a lack of it.
3. Predestination – If God treasured some and didn't love others (since God was all-knowing) he must have identified from all eternity whom he would love and whom not.
4. The Elect - if you were a Puritan you were the redeemable remnant, chosen by God from all the world of sinners.
5. Good Works - Doing moral, aiding the poor, deprived, and feeble, was a likely sign of election, but could not be a cause of it. So the answer is b which is religious tolerance.
