How were the puritan congregations different from the church of England?

They rejected everything in the Church of England's practices that in their view too much reflected its Catholic roots, and they were leaning to a much more 'Calvinist" form of Protestantism.
In their services they therefore didn't use the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, did not use any priestly vestments, nor did they kneel during service or make the sign of the cross as the Anglicans then still did.
