HELLLP PLEASE!!! Did the Scrooby Separatists want religious freedom or freedom from other religions?

Scooby Doo! OK, got that out of my system. The separatists from Gainsborough and Scrooby got together and were called Scooby Congregation. They were a mixture of pastors excommunicated from the Church of England, their followers and other nonconformists. They moved to Amsterdam and Leiden in Holland in groups during 1607 and 1608. Holland was protestant and tolerant of their religion, but as foreigners they couldn't get good jobs. Also, their kids were growing up Dutch, not English. So they decoded to go to English America. They could worship as they wanted there. The Scroobys are not exactly the Pilgrims but their members and other separatists were among the first group we know as the Pilgrims.
