1_The text is talking about the puritanism movement and its reform work
2_Well, in my opinion, the term Puritanism likely triggered mixed reactions among the rulers and monarchs of that period. Some rulers may have seen the Puritans as a threat to their authority and the established Church, as the Puritans sought to reform and purify the Church of England. On the other hand, some rulers may have sympathized with the Puritans' religious ideals and supported their cause. It really depended on the individual ruler and their own religious and political beliefs. It's always interesting to see how different groups and ideologies can evoke varied responses from those in power.
3_That statement highlights the significant impact of the Puritans' efforts on both England and America. The Puritans' desire to reform the Church of England and live according to their religious ideals led to conflicts within England, including the English Civil War. Additionally, seeking religious freedom and the opportunity to establish their own communities, the Puritans founded colonies in America, such as the Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony. These colonies became working models of the Puritan way of life, where they could practice their religion freely and govern their communities based on their religious beliefs. The founding of these colonies in America was closely tied to the Puritans' religious motivations and their desire to create societies that reflected their religious ideals.
4_The main drives of the rise of puritanism are:
*the separation of roman catholic church.
*the constant change in ruling which naturally means change in beliefs way of life.
*the selfexile of the protestants.
*the two popular books of Elizabethan england

8_The statement denote that the religious group was looking for legal support through the parliament, institute in this statement means to fix a set of regulation and lows, the terms polity in this sense refer to particular system.
9_The separatits supported the free worship of god as for the puritants, they rejected the same motives and they were repressed by the government.
10_English puritanism was successful, because the movement was backed by officials and people who help good positions.
