When the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established in 1630 in an attempt to escape the corruption of the Anglican Church, the colonists quickly established the precedent that Puritanism was the only right form of Protestantism. This belief persisted for many years and consequently sparked a number of conflicts between the Puritans and other religious groups seen as threatening their ideals. After the Great Migration in the mid-1600s, Puritans exercised strict devotion to their religious beliefs in order to "purify" the Anglican Church, thereby making the Massachusetts Bay Colony an unwelcoming environment for religious dissenters. However, due to the circumstances of the First Great Awakening, in 1750, Massachusetts Roger Williams was an example of radical thinking in many of his ideas, as they far exceeded the tenets of rigid puritanism, particularly in his identification as "a separatist declared”. Contrary to the Puritan aim of simply purifying the Anglican Church, Williams felt "no attachment at all to the Church of England". The Puritan goal was only to create a broader reformation of England, not to completely sever their ties. In order to live peacefully in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the mid-1600s, one had to respect all Puritan principles, including the goal of “purifying” the Anglican Church. For the Puritans, radicalism needed to be eradicated from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because it would threaten the uniformity of Puritan beliefs and hinder their overall mission to create a Puritan version of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In the mid-1600s, the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony placed great emphasis on the path to salvation. According to them, “sanctification” was evidence of “justification,” meaning that divine behavior could be seen as a sign of eternal salvation. Another religious dissident, Anne Hutchinson, disagrees. Hutchinson was an Antinomian, meaning she endorsed "the principles of divine omnipotence and human impotence." The Puritans became extremely alarmed and brought Hutchinson to court in 1638 in order to suppress his beliefs as quickly as possible. Convicting Hutchinson of heresy proved very difficult because the court was unable to obtain an impeachable confession from her. After being asked how she was aware of her eternal salvation, Hutchinson finally admitted that God had spoken directly to her "by the voice of his own spirit to my soul", thus banishing her from the Massachusetts Bay Colony . Hutchinson made the Puritans particularly worried because his beliefs forced them to question their own personal salvation. She preached that a life of holiness and devotion to God was not an indication of salvation, the very principle to which the Puritans had devoted their lives. Anne Hutchinson's treatment was not unusual, but rather an example of religious pursuit arising from the Puritan sense.
