What did James I allow to happen to the Puritans?

Under the rule of James I, the Puritans were stripped of their worldly goods, arrested, tortured, imprisoned or killed. As a result, they decided to flee to Holland where it was known that the church could continue without the restrictions imposed by the crown. James I, however, responded by having all feasible ports of entry blocked so that the Puritans had to pay a high price to be smuggled out of the country.
