ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses the Scottish politics and religion following Charles I's 1633 coronation visit and Parliament with a focus on how the Protestant cause and the British context informed the origins of Covenanting. Waurechen focuses on the discursive elements of the Covenanter's propaganda campaign by analyzing what they said, how they said it and this approach to the Covenanter's propaganda campaign is revelatory. During the period, between the Pacification and the Second Bishops War, the Covenanters' propaganda returned to the themes and utilizes the outbreak of their revolt to emphasize the Protestant. The Protestant cause is a long-standing issue to symbolize widespread disappointment with Stuart rule and the dynasty's failure that utilizes the martial strength of England and Scotland to protect international Protestantism and defeat militant Catholicism. The chapter concludes with a close reading of Covenanter propaganda on how the Protestant cause and the British context informed the Covenanters attempt to create a discourse with potential English sympathizers.
