Abstract

This article aims to analyze the interchange of prophetical-political ideas and texts between New and Old England in 17^th century. For this purpose, we focus our studies in the connections established among two English protestants, who migrated to America in the 1630s, John Cotton and William Aspinwall; and two London booksellers, Hannah Allen and Livewell Chapman. Cotton and Aspinwall actively participated on the colonial discussions about the civil government. Their ideas circulated in America and in the metropolis, between the 1640s and 1650s, due to Allen’s and Chapman’s publishing business. We seek to analyze how these texts elaborated in the colonial contexts were printed and disseminated in the metropolis, where they were adapted to the political-religious debates in 17^th century England.
