That said, it is a popular lie to suggest that Puritans believed that financial success demonstrated that a person was elect, whereas financial troubles proved the opposite. Despite what your textbook suggests in the last sentence or two of the quote, that is nonsense, too.

...yea, it's pretty evident that the statement from the text is whack! (sounds like they're confusing the false prosperity gospel with Puritanism/Calvinism), but as for the other "differences" such as their views on election, I just don't know enough. Thanks for the comments though.
