The Puritans in the English Church

He considered the english church far less expert and ministers less well educated than they were in scotland. So he established the court as a centre of expertees for preaching, to help develop the art in england. The historical debate about religion at this time in england tended once to focus around the perceived divisions in the english church. One view was that the civil wars later would be in part a consequence of remaining divisions in the church between the puritans, who wanted reform, and the conformists, who were happy with what they had. It's noted that puritans were almost all participants in the national church, rather than separite from it.
