They wanted freedom to practice their puritan religion
John Winthrop helped the Massachusetts Bay Colony during its founding period for the sake of religious freedom and purity. Having been persecuted by representatives of the official church of England, Winthrop and his Puritan brethren journeyed across the Atlantic Ocean to find a place wherein they could practice their religion purely, thereby setting an example for the rest of the world to follow.
The main religion of colonial Massachusetts in the 1700s were Puritan Separatists. They came to the colony in pursuit of religious freedom.
