Cromwell argued for religious freedom:
“Presbyterians,
Independents, all here had the same spirit of Faith and prayer; they
agree here, know no names of difference; pity it should be otherwise anywhere.
All that believe have the real unity, which is most glorious because inward and
Spiritual. As for being united in forms, commonly called
uniformity, every Christian will, for peace sake, study and do as far as
conscience will permit; and from brethren, and things of the mind, we look for
no compulsion but that of light and reason.”
