Both Royalists and Roundheads had learned the folly of believing their God would defend an earthly government. We were most intrigued - and dismayed - by the stories of the Puritan rampages in the mid-1600s, when Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads briefly held sway over the Royalists in England. Thomas prospered, imitators soon flooded the market, and even the royal court found it necessary to sponsor Cavalier newsbooks to answer the Roundhead onslaught--an astounding fact when one considers the court's notorious reluctance to compromise its established authority by appealing to public opinion. |
