Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Politics and Religion, Vol. 2: A Study in Scottish History From the Reformation to the Revolution The Glasgow Assembly, in refusing to disperse and in deposing the bishops, had made war inevitable; and for war the Covenanters were much better prepared than the King. Charles had been arming in a desultory fashion ever since Hamilton went down to Scotland in May, 1638 ; but his reluctance to summon Parliament put him to great straits for money, and the helium episcopate, was repugnant to a large proportion of his subjects, and a matter of extreme indifference to most. In Scotland, on the other hand, stimulated by many vehement preachers, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. In the beginning of February, 1639, a committee for providing men, money, and arms was instituted in each shire; drilling went on briskly under skilled officers who had served with Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years´ War; and though a fourth of the male population was nominally called out, more men came forward than the committees were able to equip.
