The reader can conclude that Puritans who followed their faith strictly
Puritan clergy were sober figures. They looked askance at frivolous behavior. Into this category they lumped sports, games, and amusements played for the pure joy of play. In 1647 the Massachusetts Bay Colony outlawed shuffleboard. A ban against bowling followed in 1650. Football and other sports were similarly treated. Although Puritans outlawed pit sports, they did not oppose all sports and games. They supported such activities as walking, archery, running, wrestling, fencing, hunting, fishing, and hawking—as long as they were engaged in at a proper time and in a proper manner. Puritan leaders were opposed to any Sabbath amusements. Sunday was a day for worship—not work, and certainly not play. Remaining true to the teachings of the Prophet Isaiah, Cotton Mather condemned those who tried to justify Sabbath sports. Those who broke the Sabbath were punished. They were denied food, publicly whipped, or placed in the stocks.
A) believed it a disgrace to be placed in the stocks.
B) never participated in sporting events.
C) could participate in sports on Sunday if they gave good justification.
A) believed it a disgrace to be placed in the stocks.
