They all would have been religious minorities within England, as the majority of the English at the time were Protestants. Due to the importance of religion at the time they all would have been somewhat persecuted.

Answer:

Puritans, Quakers, and Catholics living in England in the 1600s were all religious minorities persecuted by the Church of England.

Step-by-step explanation:

Puritans and Quakers were part of the Dissenters. It was the denomination that received the different Christian religious groups that disagreed with the "established church" in England and the Anglo-Saxon countries, the Church of England, during the Modern Age. Catholics, especially discriminated against, were also persecuted. Many of these groups chose to migrate to other territories, such as the Catholics, who went to Ireland and Scotland, and the Puritans, who went to North America.
