After the Purtians left the Netherlands they came to the New World to be able to live as they wished. Winthrop put all the political power in the hands of the stockholders and they had been critical of the Church of England. The reason they are called Purtians is that they wanted to purify the church of England from within. This brought strong resistance from the church, so to move to someplace else where they could do what they wanted was a logical thought. They believed that theirs was the true faith and that others were the work of the devil. They were not a tolerant people.
