Answer: The Puritans believed that Christians should return to the original biblical teaching.
Explanation:
The Reformation is a movement that swept Europe during the 16th century. Several different factions emerged from that movement. The Puritans were members of the teachings of John Calvin. The Puritans were against the luxury that was ubiquitous in the church. That was contrary to biblical principles that propagate modesty. Because of such beliefs, they came into conflict with the church and its leaders and the rulers who supported the church. The Puritans believed that people should live by strict biblical rules. Every segment of their daily lives was imbued with religious principles. As they could not realize their religious beliefs in England, they decided to migrate to North America.
