Note 99 — Chapter VIII
Max Farrand translation
Borgeaud, p. 27, cites a treatise by John Wyse as having had great influence in the democratizing of ideas in Massachusetts. This man, whose name was John Wise, has done nothing else than take Pufendorf's theories as the basis of his work, as he himself specifically declares. Cf. J. Wise, A Vindication on the Government of New England Churches, Boston, 1772, p. 22.
