Roger Williams argued that: a. church and state must be totally separated. b. Puritans were on a divine mission to spread the true faith. c. religious wars were necessary to protect not only religion, but also freedom. d. only John Winthrop was capable of explaining the word of God. e. Puritans must stay in the Church of England and reform it.

Roger Williams was educated in Cambridge and refused to associate himself with Puritans in Boston where he arrived in 1631. Therefore B and E can be ruled out. R. W. , being a Calvinist believer, it is therefore hard to imagine that he was a fan of religious wars C nor was it plausible that he thought that John Winthrop was a sort of J.C. D

But he did believe - and expressed himself eloquently - that:

Magistrates (state) had no right to interfere in matters of religion (church).
