Based on the given excerpt above from The Redeemed Captive by John Williams, the phrase from this excerpt that demonstrates a Puritan influence would be this: <span>"but I refused once and again; he told me he would dash out my brains with his hatchet if I refused." This phrase shows that they are very serious about people who believe and follow God. Hope this answer helps.</span>
