Explicação:
 
"The poem is a compelling and complex rumination on the majesty of nature and God, and the place that man occupies on Earth. This poem expresses "the complexity of [Bradstreet's] struggle between love of the world and desire for eternal life. She feels an immense degree of pleasure in contemplating the natural world, which leads her to think about God, who must be even grander and more glorious than His creations.
Throughout the poem, the poet continues to vacillate back and forth between thinking about her Earthly surroundings and their Creator. In particular, she focuses on the sun, acclaiming its near-supernatural glory (she even writes that she would consider it a deity if she did not know better). The poet sees that man will turn to God after he realizes that Earthly life cannot offer immortality. (www.gradesaver.com/anne-bradstreet-poems/study-guide)

Explicação:
" The Puritan religious faith originated in England during the early 1600s. The Puritans believed that the Anglican Church, the state's religious institution of England, needed to be purified of the influence of the Catholic religious faith.
Throughout the early 1600s, the Puritans attempted to reform the Anglican Church with very limited success. The Stuart monarchs, who ruled England, were disinterested in reforming the Church or in limiting Catholic religious influences. By 1629, many Puritans had become discouraged and they began to look for a new home in the colonies, where they could practice their religious beliefs far from the influence of Catholicism and the Stuart kings. " (www.study.com/academy/lessons/puritans)
The Puritans were English Protestants who believed that the reforms of the Church of England did not go far enough. Bishops lived like princes and ecclesiastical courts were corrupt. The King of England was the controlling power of the Church, so people could neither trust the clergy nor  the King as their representative before God.
