Detailed explanation-1: -Whereas 102 Pilgrims came over on the Mayflower, 1, 000 Puritans came to Boston. Unlike the Pilgrims, the Puritans had an official charter from the King of England to establish a colony and had not separated from the Church of England.
Detailed explanation-2: -Puritans tried to purify the established Church of England By the mid-sixteenth century, some reformers thought that Protestant denominations had not gone far enough in “purifying” the church and taking it back to its New Testament roots. Puritans were among those intent on purifying the established Church of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Puritans are the original group which aimed to bring back simplicity and virtue in Christianity. On the other hand, Pilgrims are the Separatists who were once Puritans but were discontent at reforms. Both groups look to the Scriptures as their final authority on religion and not the clergy.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Puritans thought that the bishops and priests had too much power over church members. The most extreme Protestants wanted to separate from the Church of England. These Separatists formed their own churches and cut all ties with the Church of England.
