What did Puritan ministers say about people who didnt agree with their teachings?

Puritan ministers often viewed those who disagreed with their teachings as morally and spiritually misguided. They believed that dissenters were influenced by the devil and at risk of eternal damnation. This perspective led to a culture of intolerance, where disagreements were not just seen as differing opinions but as threats to the community's moral fabric. Consequently, dissenters could face social ostracism or even harsher punishments.
