Which phrase in this excerpt from The Redeemed Captive by John Williams demonstrates a Puritan influence?
My master took hold of my hand to force me to cross myself, but I struggled with him, and would not suffer him to guide my hand; upon this, he pulled
off a crucifix from his own neck, and bade me kiss it; but I refused once and again; he told me he would dash out my brains with his hatchet if I
refused.
