Abstract
This article examines the links between Levellers and General Baptists during the English Civil Wars of the 1640s and suggests that the political liberty proposed by the Levellers was partly derived from General Baptist ecclesiology and soteriology. Mason engages with Stephen Wright’s account in respect of the alleged Calvinism of Thomas Lambe, the soap-boiler. The relation of both Levellers and General Baptists to Puritanism is discussed, arguing that it is incorrect to describe either group as Puritans.
