The Anglican Church of the seventeenth century was the brainchild of Henry VIII, Edward, and Elizabeth I, and their "divines". Basically they tried to construct a church from scratch with the property they stole from the Catholic Church and keep everything as much like the Catholic Church as possible so that they wouldn't have open rebellion from the people. Thus while throwing out the major dogmas on which the Church is built: like Transubstantiation, and the Latin language (the Church in England for the most part was the Latin Rite), they kept vestments, altars, Church seasons - the Church calendar, they kept the basic structure of the Mass for their new Protestant worship service, etc. The Puritans wanted to purge EVERYTHING that smacked of Rome from their Church. They thought that the monarchs had not gone far enough in "purging the Church of Rome" and they were going to make it "pure". Thus vestments, the service, the prayer book, anything that smacked of Rome in their eyes was to be gotten rid of.
