Hutchinson describes mystical union, and thus theres enough here to provoke a comparison between European and Northern African heterodox groups and the early North American colonial period, even if theres no evidence of license or depravity like Jacob Frank or Sabbatai Zevi [the latter more rumored than the formers outrights] By claiming to receive direct revelation that was equal in authority to Scripture, Hutchinson boldly challenged a major teaching of the Protestant communion, which stated that Scripture alone, and not personal revelation, held ultimate authority. She also put into question personal liberty, another key teaching of Reformed faith.
