Most of them came from Lincolnshire, via the Netherlands, because of the increasing hostility of the Crown and the established church towards Puritanism. This group also considered the Church of England to be beyond reformation and wanted nothing to do with it. They found that conditions in the Netherlands were no more congenial to the worship and conduct of church life that they believed the Bible prescribed, so the decision was made to migrate to the new world.
