Answer:
The Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries, who sought to purify the Church of England of Roman Catholic practices, maintaining that the Church of England had not been fully reformed and should become more Protestant.[1] Puritanism played a significant role in English history, especially during the Protectorate.
Puritans were dissatisfied with the limited extent of the English Reformation and with the Church of England's toleration of certain practices associated with the Roman Catholic Church. They formed and identified with various religious groups advocating greater purity of worship and doctrine, as well as personal and corporate piety. Puritans adopted a Reformed theology and, in that sense, were Calvinists (as were many of their earlier opponents). In church polity, some advocated separation from all other established Christian denominations in favour of autonomous gathered churches. These Separatist and independent strands of Puritanism became prominent in the 1640s, when the supporters of a presbyterian polity in the Westminster Assembly were unable to forge a new English national church.

(Answering to the best of my ability, not quite sure on how to answer this though)
Actions speak louder than words, everybody's heard this, but how does it apply to real situations? Do our thoughts and feelings truly have more impact on people? To be frank, yes, and no.
Let's start by talking about Action and intention. Something i always tell myself is that we judge others by their behavior and not their intent, as it's the opposite for us, in order to properly discuss this my must remove any action-based bias. In order to do that let's look over a situation. A well known and respected social media influencer has recently been targeted by a small content creator on the same platform, he sends threatening messages to her in comments at any chance, her fans attack the small creator for this, but what they didn't know was that she abused her children by gaslighting them. See how the situation changes just by seeing his intention? Let that serve as our lesson on action and intention.
Now we can get into the meat and bones of this essay, the contrast of actions and words. there are several instances where actions are more effective, as well as words. The general idea of Actions over words is focusing on saying and not doing, in other words saying you'll do something and doing nothing is pointless while you should just get up and do something. The idea of words over actions stems from the idea that action (mostly violent) won't win over anyone and calm words are more persuasive. There is no real way to say which is better as there are so many possible scenarios that in the end they balance out. what side your on is your choice, or would you rather just be in the middle?
