Giles' clmrcli, Edinburgh. Tlie Solemn League and Covenant, an agreement to sup- port the Presbyterianism which had held near- ly undisputed sway since the time of John Knox, received many signatures. The King raised an army and entered Scotland to sub- due the revolt. A compromise was effected and the King returned. He had scarcely done so, when the Scottish Parliament and General Assembly voted Episcopacy unlawful, and the High Commission Court, a recently established tribunal, tyi'annical. T...he Parliament was pro- rogued before these measures could become laws. The King determined to send a second army. As his means were exhausted, and in the present temj)er of the nation he could not venture on any irregular expedient to raise money, he was compelled to summon Parlia- ment. Parliament met on the 13th of April, 1640. It was foolishly dissolved by the King on the fifth of May. He resorted to money-lenders, and obtaining a supply advanced against the Scots. His army was defeated at JSTewburn, and a dishonorable truce effected.
