Can anyone explain the roles intended by the Puritans :pilgrim: respectively for the House of Commons and the House of Lords? (not what they have degenerated into)
 
I'm not sure if you are looking for Cromwell's views on Parliament or the Puritans generally (there was a divergence of views generally after Pride's Purge, the execution of Charles I, the execution of Puritan Christopher Love, etc.), but I can commend the following resources to you for further study:
