During the seventeenth century, Puritans came to American looking for hope, freedom, wealth and happiness. Many found it, but many missed the boat. As many as 6,500 to 8,000 people annually left, as 25,000 to 30,000 left during the first three decades of the century. Most traveled as young, unmarried servants. Puritans were very much trying to find a world of their own that they could manage, control, take over, and look over as a whole. When they came to settle, they had to decide quickly what they wanted in life and how they were going to achieve their goal. You had to take into consideration of where your most pure land was, where there was open land, where the many Indian tribes were, and where the weather would affect your growth as a planter. Puritans came to America wanting to spread their own religion as a way that everyone would be under and no problems would or could occur. Most puritans went under the religion of Calvinism as many were often religious bigots because they discriminated against the Indians and only accepted the kind that didn't like Quakers.

I assume you are inquiring about The Puritans. This term was used to describe members of the Church of England, who wished to purify it of all semblances to the Roman Catholic Church, in particular to the lithurgy, vestments, and episcopal hierarchy. A radical minority within the Puritan movement, The Separatists, wanted to remove itself from the English church and worship in its own independent congregation. Those Puritans who did sail to the United States in 1630 mantained they were not separatists but wanted to purify the Church of England by establishing their own "city upon a hill." By the end of the 17th century, puritan political influence had largely disappeared in Massachusetts, though attitudes associated with it remained.

What is God's covenant of grace?
The covenant of grace is that time that started with the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and stops at his second physical coming. The convent of grace implies that God will judge every individual according the choice made during lifetime so three ways of judgment stand during this convent.
first we have the ones that accept Jesus Christ as saviour and Lord; and thus their names are written in the book of life (revelations). they will be judged according Christ's accomplished work on the cross. automatically they are saved by grace. (Jesus paid their penalty)
secondly we have those who never heard about Christ. they will be judged (according revelation) by their personal book of works. if their works are good enough God will make his final judgment (problem with this is that all are sinners, and all spoil God's glory). accordingly they will be given a second chance, yet this chance is given through the law that does not save, rather the law shows us our trespasses. the law (10 commandments) makes it practically impossible to be saved
thirdly here are those who heard about, yet rejected Jesus Christ entirely, they are already condemned (according the gospels)
What did the term grace mean to the Puritan and how did it shape his life?
Grace. Puritan beliefs were influenced by John Calvin, one of the great Protestant reformers, and can be defined by four general Calvinistic principles.
1. The absolute sovereignty of God (that He is all-powerful) and His Providence (His involvement in the affairs of men).
2. Original sin and the total depravity of man. Since the Garden of Eden, man has been born in sin, and he is totally unworthy of God's grace.
3. Because free will was lost through original sin, God predestines man's fate (predestination), and even 'though man is unworthy, God will choose some men for salvation (election).
4. God's grace is revealed through the Bible.
the answer is COVENANT.
