Document Summary
Parliament wants great control of who james interacts with. James is king of scotland, england and ireland. Tries to find way to bind them together: last days on throne was the beginning of the thirty year war (protestant vs. catholic) Charles i (r. 1625-1649: son of james, did not have a good relationship with parliament, had fathers sense of entitlement. English wanted king that governed within specific limits: don"t want kings to ask for too much money, don"t want king to move against power of elite. Anglicans vs. puritans: religious divide between anglicans and puritans, puritans are hardline calvinists, they fixate on certain elements of calvinists. Focused on predestination: puritans are bothered that anglican church retained a lot of similarities to past catholic practice. Want to remove catholic practices and rewrite anglican church: puritan strength was found around lower tiers of aristocracy, and london (have a political voice through parliament)
