It was illegal to be a Presbyterian in England. The Puritans were thrown in prison. A group of businessmen bought a charter and the land for Massachusetts Bay from the king. They got the Presbyterian leadership out of prison and they went to Massachusetts Bay. They took a number of their followers with them. You can go to Boston, England, and see the jail that held the Puritan Fathers.
