131. 148 PROPERTY vi and Hooker both attacked their opponents' position as tending to the anarchy of the Anabaptists. Later on, the Presbyterians and constitutional sectaries had to repudiate the extravagancies of the Levellers. Thus from similar motives English Reformers, Anglican and Puritan alike, found it desirable to protest their attachment to the principle of private property. They were anxious not to be taken for social revolu- tionaries. Another factor in determining the Reformers' att...itude towards wealth, was the discrediting of voluntary poverty by the failure of the friar and the monk. The reaction from the conventional praise of poverty led the Reformer and the Puritan after him to insist on the blessing of wealth. Wealth and poverty come of God's gifts, and either is to be accepted as from Him. The seventeenth-century moralists do not ignore the spiritual and moral dangers of wealth. Indeed they are most anxious to direct the man of means in the employment of his money. But they do regard the possession of wealth as something ordained of God, and in consequence they take up a conservative attitude towards class distinctions and class standards of living.
