After the English Civil War and the execution of Charles I, the republic's existence was initially declared by " An Act declaring England to be a Commonwealth " adopted by the Rump Parliament, on 19 May 1649.

The national context ( England and Wales, plus the kingdoms of Scotland and Ireland ) frames the definition of Puritans, but was not a self-identification for those Protestants who saw the progress of the Thirty Years ' War from 1620 as directly bearing on their denomination, and as a continuation of the religious wars of the previous century, carried on by the English Civil Wars.
