This quote suggests that there was an overlap or similarity between the ideologies of the Puritans and the humanists. It implies that individuals who identified as Puritans also held humanist beliefs or vice versa. This challenges the commonly held notion that these two groups were inherently opposed, presenting the idea that there were individuals who embodied both sets of ideals simultaneously. It highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of individuals and their beliefs, blurring the lines between religious fundamentalism and secular humanism during this historical period.
