Excerpt from Alexander Henderson: The Covenanter
The Presbyterians of Henderson's day were not republicans, and they had little less affection for all that Cromwell's Independents stood for, than for Episcopacy itself. Nearly all Of them were anxious to support the Monarchy, but the monarchs chiefly con cerned were responsible for making it impossible.
The main position which Henderson and his colleagues occupied was beyond all question fair and right. It was to conserve the National and Ecclesiastical Independence against the improper use of the Royal prerogative. It was perhaps inevitable, but it is a cause Of unceasing regret that as the contest grew more bitter on both sides, so the National Covenant which, as proposed and defended by Henderson, was entirely justifiable, afterwards became a basis of persecution and disloyalty. Henderson, himself, was too judicious and sober to have been led into the violent courses of the later part Of the century.
