Answer:

Separatists and Puritans

Step-by-step explanation:

The two groups which opposed King Henry VIII’s church were Separatists and Puritans.

Henry VIII was the King of England and had issues with the Pope due to his refusal to sanction the annulment of this wife due to her inability to give birth to a male child. This made him become the head the Church of England. The Separatist didn’t like the doctrine under his rule and were opposed to his church. They broke away to form their church. The Puritans also wanted the Church of England to be cleansed from Roman Catholic doctrines and wanted it to follow that of the Protestant church.
