both Puritans and Separatists.
Puritans only.
Church of England members.

Answer 1

The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony primarily to provide a safe religious haven for **Puritans only**. They sought to create a community that aligned with their strict religious beliefs and practices, separate from the Church of England, which they viewed as corrupt. While Separatists (who sought to completely break away from the Church of England) also established colonies like Plymouth, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was specifically oriented toward Puritan values and governance.
