The Massachusetts Puritans did establish their own church, but they were religious and in many cases were actual blood descendants of the English regicides, and memories were strong. In 1642-1643 William Prynne had tirelessly urged the state oaths and lawful covenants that protected the ancient constitution against arbitrary, popish, and tyrannical government; by 1650 he saw the regicides as covert political allies of the Jesuits. By behaving, as Charles had, like martyrs, the regicides controverted their royalist executioners. |
