Scope and Content
Note
The Solemn League and Covenant of 1643 was an alliance between the English Parliament and the Scots whereby the Scottish forces agreed to join the fight against the King in the Civil War. In return Parliament agreed to establish the Church of England on a Presbyterian, rather than an episcopal basis. The Westminster assembly of divines was one result.
