First, there is a gap here:
Puritanism ?????the wealth, power, and authority of Catholicism and the Church of England.
I think that this is best filled with "rejected" - as they rejected the authority of the Catholic Church.
However, I am also considering "aimed to acquire" as the Puritans did not reject money or did not seek poverty specifically although they valued frugal life.
Second blank :
Puritans adopted the basic principles of... Calvinism, Calvinism is the view that suggest predestination!
After this:
Puritans also believed in the concept of .....The original sin. That's why they had to be saved!
