1) The text is about the history of the Puritanism movement of purifying the Church of England of Remants of the Roman Catholic church.

3) Founding colonies in America is related to Puritanism that sought to spread their principles in other areas but Europe to create a group of people outside of England that follows them strictly and to enforce their movement.
