Were the Puritan's Congregationalists?

I am just finding out that the Puritans did not hold to a Presbyterian form of government but were Congregationalists. I was really surprised to find that John Owen was not "Presbyterian." Did this have something to do with the Church of England and abuses of power seen by a top down form of government?

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?
