"Puritanism began as a reform movement in the Church of England by men who desired the Reformation to be furthered in a purer and more scriptural direction."
Priesthood, vestments, sacraments and anything else that smacked of Rome was rejected by these "purists" who were later called Puritans in 1564. "Wycliffe and his Lollards were fore-runners of Puritanism...the title might also have been given to The Wesleys, Whitfield and those who labored in the Evangelical Revival." Elizabeth I of England hated the Roman Catholics but feared the Puritans...seeing herself not only as the Sovereign of England but of the Church as well. (For a better understanding of the Puritans look for a book forthcoming from this ministry called "John Bunyan, Pilgrim and Dreamer" by Ernest W. Bacon.
