PURITANS
ScnTUEU
a group of radical English Protestants that arose in the sixteenth century and became a major force in England during the seventeenth century. Puritans wanted to "purify" the Church of England by eliminating traces of its origins in the Roman Catholic Church. In addition, they urged a strict moral code and placed a high value on hard work. Many Puritans, persecuted in their homeland, left England, some emigrating to Holland and many to America in the 1620s and 1630s, settling colonies that eventually became Massachusetts. Well, I imagine the Puritans of Holland and the Puritans of America were widely divergent in their mores although they were, by label, the same group. -Sec Checks, Withholds (10 Jan. 62) a group of Protestants that arose in the sixteenth century within the Church of England, demanding the simplification of doctrine and worship, and greater strictness in religious discipline.
