Elizabeth I issue with the Puritans?

The Puritan threat. Puritans were strict Protestants who wanted to 'purify' the Church and get rid of all traces of the Catholic faith. ... Elizabeth's Religious Settlement meant that the country was now officially Protestant, but allowed some traditions of Catholic worship.

Puritans were strict Protestants who wanted to ‘purify’ the Church and get rid of all traces of the Catholic faith. Many had fled abroad when Mary I, a Catholic, was queen, but had started to return when Elizabeth, a Protestant, came to the throne. Elizabeth’s Religious Settlement meant that the country was now officially Protestant, but allowed some traditions of Catholic worship. At first many Puritans seemed to accept the Settlement, but they soon started organising campaigns to make it more Protestant.

They raised their points in Parliament, but did not on the whole get involved in plots to overthrow Elizabeth or destabilise the country and were therefore seen as less of a threat than the Catholics.

Some of Elizabeth’s most trusted Privy Councillors and MPs, notably Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and Sir Francis Walsingham, were Puritans and tried to pressure her into taking harsher steps against Catholics.

Even if they weren't a great threat, Elizabeth still did not welcome the Puritans' challenge to her authority.
