Hello. I don't understand a couple of bits of text, maybe these can be clarified. (1) the troops refused to agree to the new terms -- what new terms were those? (2) the entire matter was dropped, never to be seen again -- what "entire matter" was that? Universal suffrage? If so, that was revived in the 19th century, if not earlier, was it not? Thanks to anyone who can clarify these points. Wile E. Heresiarch 04:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The beginning says: "included provisions for social justice..." This is an utter anachronism. "Social justice" is a faddish term of the 21st century that has no place in a discussion of 17th-century affairs. --reader — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.186.171.231 (talk) 15:31, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Location of the Debates

My original correction was edited on the basis that there were no sources for the debates being anywhere other than the Church. Only the first day was at Putney Church - the Army moved to Quartermaster General Thomas Ireton's residence (Henry's brother) from 29 October. The source for this is Clarke's transcript of the debates themselves - see Firth, Clarke Papers I p.281 and 363: alternatively Woodhouse's edition p39. See also Woolrych Soldier's and Statesmen p.224. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.226.175 (talk) 10:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Grosvenor?

The link in the first para refers to Thomas Grosvenor's residence, if you click through it goes to an article about a US Senator of the same name. The dates don't seem to overlap, so I think it's a mis-link. 09:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)~
