A name given to those more extreme Protestants within the Church of England who wanted to stay in the church but “purify” it of what they saw as Roman Catholic ways. (Above: textbook definition, but you must create your own definition.)
CUL: The Puritans believed that the church was still tied to Catholicism and wanted to distance their religious practices from that, eventually moving to the New World.
