Interesting question as I don't know much about the puritans, themselves. The quakers and the shakers had the same thing in common. Unusual physical manifestations physically on themselves they ascribed to divine causes. This may've been the parting of the ways. Much relevant to present day pentecostalism.

Quakers held services without formal ministers and allowed any person to speak as the spirit moved him. They were also pacifists, and for their radical views, they were scorned by the Puritans. Odd as it may seem, even though Puritans came to this country for religious freedom, they were not tolerant of others.

Probably because the Quakers were pacifists. And because they were not Puritans. The Puritans were extreme in their views & could not live with others who were different from them easily.

Because Puritans thought that they were the "true" Christians and that everyone else were to be converted to Puritanism. Quakers rebelled and Puritans tried to keep them out of their sight. It didn't work.

Although the Puritans wanted religious freedom in England during the 17th Century from their Anglican cousins, those who came to Massachusetts were not very tolerant of other religious denominations, especially one like the Quakers, who themselves were very tolerant of other religions.
