The Puritans were the first English to settle in the Massachusetts Bay area. They were part of the 13 colonies. They believed that they should only believe about biblical writing.

Peritans term for their belief that Massachusetts bay had a special arrangement?
The Pilgrims were the early English settlers of New England. The first group settled on what is now Plymouth in Massachusettes, in December of 1620.
The early Pilgrims included many "Separatists." These people once belonged to the body of English Protestants known as "Puritans." The Puritans wished to adopt reforms that would purify the Church of England, the nation's official church. The Separatists decided that they could not reform the church from within. They separated from the church and set up their own congregations.
After agreement that the group would establish an English Colony, a group of English merchants agreed to their expedition to the New World, that would become the United States of America.

Why did the puritans live good lives to strong religious principles?
The Puritans were a significant grouping of English-speaking Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries. Puritanism in this sense was founded by someMarian exiles from the clergy shortly after the accession of Elizabeth I of England in 1559, as an activist movement within the Church of England. The designation "Puritan" is often incorrectly used, notably based on the assumption that hedonism and puritanism are antonyms: historically, the word was used to characterize the Protestant group as extremists similar to the Cathari of France, and according to Thomas Fuller in his Church History dated back to 1564. Archbishop Matthew Parker of that time used it and "precisian" with the sense of stickler.[1] T. D. Bozeman therefore uses instead the termprecisianist in regard to the historical groups of England and New England.[2]
They were blocked from changing the system from within, but their views were taken by the emigration of congregations to the Netherlands and later New England, and by evangelical clergy to Ireland and later into Wales, and were spread into lay society by preaching and parts of the educational system, particularly certain colleges of the University of Cambridge. Initially, Puritans were mainly concerned with religious matters, rather than politics or social matters. They took on distinctive views on clerical dress and in opposition to the episcopal system, particularly after the 1619 conclusions of the Synod of Dort were resisted by the English bishops. They largely adopted sabbatarian views in the 17th century, and were influenced by millenialism. In alliance with the growing commercial world, the parliamentary opposition to the royal prerogative, and in the late 1630s with the Scottish Presbyterians with whom they had much in common, the Puritans became a major political force in England and came to power as a result of the First English Civil War. After theEnglish Restoration of 1660 and the 1662 Uniformity Act, almost all Puritan clergy left the Church of England, some becoming nonconformist ministers, and the nature of the movement in England changed radically, though it retained its character for much longer in New England.
Puritans by definition felt that the English Reformation had not gone far enough, and that the Church of England was tolerant of practices which they associated with the Catholic Church. They formed into and identified with various religious groups advocating greater "purity" of worship and doctrine, as well as personal and group piety. Puritans adopted a Reformed theology and in that sense were Calvinists (as many of their earlier opponents were, too), but also took note of radical views critical of Zwingli in Zurich and Calvin in Geneva. In church polity, some advocated for separation from all other Christians, in favor of autonomous gathered churches. These separatist and independent strands of Puritanism became prominent in the 1640s, when the supporters of a presbyterian polity in the Westminster Assembly were unable to forge a new English national church.

How did the dynamics of the puritans faith affect their New World existence?
Well, for one, it didn't help them get along with the locals. They basically pissed off the one group that could help them and lived wretched lives for the first few years.
