The Puritans were of the belief that the Church of England was not a satisfactory reformation of the Catholic Church; they thought the changes did not go far enough. The Puritans were Congregationalists who were against a strong hierarchy as well as many of the sacraments and ceremonies of the Catholic and Anglican churches. They were theologically Calvinist and believed instead in predestination.
While the Puritans began to realize they could not change religion in England, they instead sought other options and wanted to have their own community in the New World. Not only did the Puritans want to leave, but the English Crown wanted them to leave as well. They were true Antinomians and the Crown believed that they would be nothing but trouble when it came to public loyalty to the Crown and the Crown's state religion. The Puritans wanted to leave just as much as the Crown wanted them to leave. Thus began the 30,000 person Puritan migration to the New World that began in 1630. (Note: the Puritans were not the "Pilgrims" that came to Plymouth in 1620)
