When the first colonists arrived to America, many were interested in creating a society that was innovative, original, but most importantly, virtuous. These people were the Puritans. The Puritans were members of the Protestant denominations of Europe, and they thought of America as a place in which they could create these new, virtuous communities.
This is what the author Perry Miller calls the Puritan's "Errand into the Wilderness." It is difficult to establish whether the Puritans were successful in their purpose. On the one hand, it is true that the Puritans were able to establish a community where dissent was a lot less common than in similar communities. They were also able to establish communities that were generally more peaceful, more equitable and more homogeneous than other communities. Nevertheless, they were not completely successful. Often, repression occured as part of an attempt to maintain peace. This led them to some undemocratic and violent practices. Moreover, the communities were not able to successfully deal with outside pressures.

C.Your enemy’s servants and your servants were fighting before I showed up.
In this quote, Benvolio is talking to Lord and Lady Montague. The word adversary means enemy or the person against another. In this case, the Motague's adversaries, or enemies, are the Capulet's. He is saying that the Montague's enemies and servants were fighting. The word "ere" is short for before. It allows Shakespeare to have the correct number of syllables to keep the iambic pentameter since ere only has 1 syllable, but before has 2 syllables.
The first two seem the most logical.
