Answer:

the Puritans for religious freedom and Separatists want to separate from the church

Step-by-step explanation:

The Puritans left England primarily due to religious persecution but also for economic reasons as well. ... The non-separatist Puritans wanted to remain in the church and reform it from within. The separatist Puritans felt the church was too corrupt to reform and instead wanted to separate from it.
