Excerpt from Calvinism: The Origin and Safeguard of Our Constitutional Liberties In spite, however, of these clearly-outlined traits of re semblance, in their plan of colonization, in the homage they paid to the liberty of conscience, in their morals and in their fundamentals in politics, the Independents and the Hugue nots do not occupy the same standpoint. Both are repre sentatives of Calvinism, but each in a different phase of its development. With Robinson, Calvinism is more broadly de veloped than with de Coligni or La Noue.
