	Memoirs of the Puritans: John Cotton
		Cotton met with a more favorable reception than could have been expected, and for a considerable time things went on very agreeably; but the troubles occasioned by the Arminian controversy became, so great in the town, that he was obliged to exert all his abilities, authority, and influence, to allay them.
		Cotton now entered into the matrimonial state; and it is remarkable, that on the day of his marriage, he, for the first time, obtained that assurance of his interest in the Redeemer, which he never lost till the day of his death.
		Cotton's antagonists, tells us, “That their reasons for wishing to confer with him, rather than any other, on these weighty points, were their knowledge of his approved godliness, his great learning, candor, and mild disposition, whereby he could bear, with equanimity of temper, the arguments of others who might differ from him in their opinions.

		John Cotton now enjoys a well-established prominence in the history of the Puritan movement as a man who provided leadership through his preaching, his books, and his life as a Nonconformist minister.
		Cotton also developed a theory of personal religious experience that stressed the relative passivity of the believer and the activity of the Holy Spirit in the experience of spiritual regeneration, an approach that encouraged a different psychological dynamic from that assumed by many of his peers.
		Ziff's picture of Cotton recounts his successful jousts with bishops and hostile local voices in Lincolnshire, where his Puritanism was contested, as well as his emigration to Massachusetts Bay and survival of a controversy there in which he was the object of immediate and harsh criticism by some of his peers and parishioners.
