Excerpt from The Burrill Family of Lynn, During the Colonial and Provinicial Periods: With Some of Their Descendants Early in the sixteenth century England was severely shaken by religious disturbances, but secession from the Church of England was not extensive until several years after the accession of Elizabeth. Although she had tried in vain to compel uniformity in religion, the latter part of that century found four classes, - the adherents to the Church of Rome, members of the Church of England, Puritans and Separatists or Independents. The Puritans founded the Massachusetts Colony, and the Separatists the Plymouth Colony. The Puritans objected to certain Observances and the rigid discipline in the National church but they still remained within that body, while the Pilgrims withdrew and established churches of their own. With the Church of the Pilgrims at Gainsborough; the retirement of William Brewster from public life to the old manor place in the little town of Scrooby where, through his hospitality, meetings were held until the church of Scrooby was fully organized (1606) the sufferings of the members of these churches; their subsequent removal to Amsterdam and Leyden and later to America, all are familiar.
