It's important to note:
* Religious tolerance: While they were Anglican, they were also known for their policy of religious tolerance in the colony of New Jersey, which they co-founded. They allowed settlers of different Christian denominations, including Quakers and Presbyterians.
* Historical context: The 17th century was a time of religious turmoil in England. The Anglican Church was established as the official religion, but there were other Protestant groups like the Puritans and the Quakers who sought religious freedom.
So, while they were both Anglican, they were also part of a broader context of religious change and tolerance in England and its colonies.
