How did puritans deal with dissent?
You should clarify when and where. Remember that they moved to what is now the United States to "escape persecution" in Europe, only to persecute others once they arrived in the "new world." So do you mean in the early 1600s when they arrived in the "new world" or do you mean in the late 1500s when they were just being bat-sh*t crazy in Europe?
William Penn was more respectful of the Native Americans in some ways.

How did the goals of the Jamestown colonist differ from those of puritan colonists in Massachusetts?
The Jamestown colonies were founded for the sole purpose of mirroring the success that the Spanish have seen from such explorers as Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes. Their motives were purely to gain profit.
The Massachusetts Bay Colony was never interested in money. Their goal was to create a religious Utopia that would shine back on the old Catholic church in England and show them that their take on religion is correct after all. John Winthrop's "Model of christian charity" states their exact mission. This full heartily explains why the puritans are so strict. They will not allow anyone to jeopardize the mission because it will ruin the colony's Utopia appearance.
