Summary:[...]we are given a view of his struggles in the Long Parliament against those he named the "violenti," the group that morphed from the "junto" of the 1640-41, to the "war party" of 1642-44 and the "political independents" of 1645-49. The Primitive Practice was not published by Richard Overton but by the London publisher Henry Overton of Pope's Head Alley, a publisher of works by religious and political independents but with no kinship or professional relationship to Richard Overton or any other Leveller.
