constant alteration between war and peace
self denying ordinance> mps began to migrate to royalist camp
political presbyterians(peace) more popular than independents
cost of war divesting for the country, social cohesion under threat(1 in 8 serving in the army), traditional gentry feeling threatened by parliamentry interference, army mutinies common due to instability in payments
attempts of settlement: Oxford treaty 1643
new palriemnt to be called upon every 3 years, king to settle militia with palriemnt advice, bishops abolished, existing laws against catholics enforced
