		The General Assembly of 1638 was composed of ardent Covenanters, and in 1640 the covenant was adopted by the Scottish Parliament, and its subscription was required from all citizens.

		The Covenanters' insistence on dictating the future of both Scotland and England eventually led to all-out war with their erstwhile allies, the English Parliament, and to the Scots signing an alliance with Charles II known as the Treaty of Breda (1650).

		While the Covenanters comments regarding the nature of juries as an eclectic association is beyond refutation, the suggestion that jurors are the creation of the constitution is suspect.
		Again, the Covenanters may have misunderstood the nature of the common law legal system that existed within the procedural confines of the state and federal constitutions.
		Since the Covenanters no longer were confident that the legal system of the land was based on the revealed law of God, they affirmed their testimony by prohibiting members from jury service.

	Missing Links The Covenanter Tank in Detail Article by Peter Brown
		The Covenanter earned one place in AFV history in June 1940 when it was decided to call British tanks by a name and not by specification or type number as had happened before.
		Covenanter was designed as a continuation of the A13 series with heavier armour than the earlier Christie based A13 's 14m and A13 Mk II's 30mm.
		Covenanter probably never fired a shot in anger, but one at least was shot at, a Mk I or II attached to an armoured train in mid-1942 was destroyed when the train was bombed (see 'The Armoured Train' by G Balfour, Batsford 1981).

		The covenanters, or Reformed Presbyterians, broke with the Established Church of Scotland in the seventeenth century, touching off a violent quarrel within both church and state.
		To escape the turmoil, some of the faithful took their brand of orthodox Calvinism to the Colonies, to Pennsylvania in particular, where they settled as early as 1720.
		Since, as a matter of doctrine, the Covenanters disdained civil authority, it is probable that many of the 5,000 persons identified in these pages are identified in no other records of the colonial period.

		The Covenanter (which never saw active service) and Crusader Cruiser tanks were developed between 1939 and 1940.
		The Crusader first saw action in the North African desert in June 1941: its speed and sleek design made it a hard target to hit, and the tank was well-respected by the Afrikakorps for its velocity in combat.
		This book examines the Covenanter and the many variants of the Crusader tank, detailing the designs, developments and disappointments of these infamous World War II tanks.

		Therefore, even though the scene was brief (we were in the midst of cleaning!), I was greatly encouraged when my son made that statement, “Hey, Daddy, I’m a Covenanter!” Externally I just went along with the game, but internally my heart swelled with encouragement.
		May you live faithfully in covenant with God, and as those Covenanters of old may you be unrelenting in your loyalty to King Jesus and His Kirk.”
		I've attempted to read one book on the Covenanters with a Scottish brogue (which my wife said was somewhat convincing, though my voice tends to be sore afterward).
