The main objection among Puritans to the Church of England was the importance it attached to 'the Church, the ministry and the sacraments'. ('Ministry' here means priests and bishops). Puritans didn't like top-down church government and regarded the zest of some Anglicans for ritual as closet Roman Catholicism. Only a minority of Puritans wanted membership of the Church confined to those showing 'visible signs of regeneration (rebirth)'. Even these Puritans were often willing to accept some other members. Many Puritans still hoped for a national church, and that implied a broadly based church. Please bear in mind that there were differences among the Puritans; they were not a monolithic group.

Did the puritans break from the Anglican chruch?
Because they believed differently and persecution, the Puritans left the church of England. The Puritans were a branch of a category known as "Dissenters" in the Church of England. The Church of England was a reformed movement that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. Some, however, felt that the reforms did not go far enough. Some believed that church was not grounded as solidly as it should be on the Bible. Some sought to embrace Calvinist teachings, or sought to abolish the episcopal system, or other innovations. Baptists, Quakers, Puritans, and Methodists all can trace back to Dissenting movements of one form or another within the Church of England. Some sought spiritual piety, seeking a "pure" church. This led to some being nicknamed Puritans. Early Puritan leaders, such as Bishop Hooker and Thomas Cartwright saw themselves as reformers within the Church of England, not creating their own movement. During the time of Queen Elizabeth I, conflict developed. The reformers/dissenters were rejected by the Church of England as a whole, as well as the Crown. Gradually due to a failure to reform the Church of England (as they saw it) and due to persecution, the reforming movement gradually became a separatist movement, forming "underground congregations" in the latter part of the 1500s into the early 1600s. Puritanism as a separate church movement was now a reality.
