12. Puritanism
(1) In 1620 a ship named Mayflower arrived ar Plymouth, Massachusetts, in which the passengers named Puritan boarded hoping to start a new society based on what believed to be the decrees of God.
(2) Puritanism is a 'ism' derived from the ideology or the thought in which the Puritan believed the decrees against the Church of England. Puritans thought that the way church drew on Catholic ideas and practices was be able to accept, and they favoured to the Calvinist approach in doctrine and morality.

(6) But the restoration of monarchy in 1660 spelled the end of the moment as far as the established church was concerned. From then, Puritanism spiled over into new churches - such as the Methodists and the Baptists - or abroad, to America. There the settlers of 1620 and those who followed later had successfully set up a new Calvinist state.
