Answ. The Covenant mentioned was not the cause of the War; the Battle at Edge-hill was fought before the Covenant came into England. And whereas the Covenant was entered into in Forty Two, and Forty Three, there have been Nonconformists ever since Bishop Hooper, and the Reformation in King Edward the Sixth's days. There are some amongst the Covenanters that can conform to the Liturgy, and submit to Episcopal Government. And the greater part of Nonconformists Preachers at this day, never took the Covenant.
