Benefit of clergy - the convicted made plead benefit of clergy, in which case, if they can read a passage from the Bible without one mistake, their sentence will be reduced. 2.

... they went on a boat with a ton of people on it and almost died but then they found the U.S.

the puritan leader that abolished the monarchy and ruled as a military dictator was Oliver Cromwell.

Puritans, including those who resided in Salem, wanted to establish a religious Utopia in the new world. Although they came to America to seek religious tolerance, they were not at all tolerant to any wrongdoing or secular activities. They worked hard and were expected to suppress, rather than display their emotions. They lived by a strict moral code, and punished any who drifted from it harshly.

I'm assuming you mean English colonists

In 1607. My dear person.

he changed their religious way of life, by introducing a catholic way of life and decorative churches and services, which they greatly disliked.

The Puritan religious faith originated in England during the early 1600's. John Winthrop, along with 17 ships, funded by the Massachusetts Bay Company left London in March, 1630, headed for the New World. Once settled, they created towns and farms, and built churches and schools.

Religion played a very significant role in the lives of Puritans living in the Massachusetts Bay colony. They were all expected to attend church services twice on Sundays, as well as lead godly lives every day of the week. Emphasis was put on how one lived and how one died; after death, the person's funeral service included evaluations of his or her life.

The Puritans would have held to Christian doctrines because they were Reformed in their theology. Reformed theology is also referred to today as monergism as well as Calvinism. They might have used verses like 1 Corinthians 15:28, John 1:1, Genesis 1:26, 1 Corinthians 8:6, and Deuteronomy 6:4 to defend their view of God. http://studybible.info/KJV/John%201:1
The Puritan's view of God was good, and the Bible was God's true law providing for the true living source.

Puritans weren't allowed to have any fun. Including singing, dancing, going to the theater, and they wore dark clothing. Their lives were totally devoted to God, and they lived their lives according to the bible.

The Puritans were English. The Puritan Church was formed in England as a response to the doctrine and rituals of the Church of England. The Puritans felt that the rituals and decorations within the church interfered with prayer and the connection to God. They wanted a "pure" church.

The puritans were strict about religion and life styles, where the Quakers lived a little more freely. The Quakers took in people's beliefs, while the Puritans booted out anybody who did not believe the same things they did.

If beliefs were different you were not a Puritan

Quakers were a society of friends. They always tried to keep peace, even at their own expense. For instance, William Penn, a Quaker bought land from Indians although England already gave it to him, he didn't want war with the Indians.

The Puritans came here to because they wanted to purify the Church. They saw the Church as too lax where they came from and wanted the freedom to worship as they saw fit, with all the high standards, rules, discipline, and so on. They had strict beliefs and rituals and did not accept change well.

There are several reasons for the decline of the Puritans. The Puritan way of life was very demanding. It became impossible for successive generations to go on sustaining concern for religious experiment. By the third generation Puritan leaders began to lose thier tight grip on the religious society. Puritans became victims of thier own dilemma, they were unable to live under their own religious zeal. In the 1660's membership declined and the churches became threatened. The conflicts within the puritan society had caught up with them. The experience of American living had taken the edge off the zeal of the first generation. By 1700 the leaders had lost control and the religious experiment was dead.

Ironically it was the Puritans' own success that cause the decline. Economic success, and the building of a society was at the heart of the puritan work ethic. The acceptance of economic success allowed for religion to become lax. Business soon became of greater importance than religion. Economic achievement replaced the need for the holy experiment. Their own religion promoted economic success (the protestant work ethic).

The difficulty of trying to live with such religious pressures as original sin, predestination, and living in moderation proved to be more than the puritans could handle. It demanded a standardized way of thinking that was not compatible with their growing society. Even with rigid intolerance, non-Puritans influenced the puritan society and was the last feature of its downfall.

Some went to Virginia, but most settled in New England, establishing the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts in 1620, the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the area of present-day Boston in 1829, and the Connecticut Colony in 1636.

They left England because they wanted religious freedom, which they did not have in England.

The Puritans wanted to reform the Anglican church the Pilgrims wanted to make their own churches. Hope I helped yah ;)
