They were not monolithic in favor of it by any means. Some Puritans were cavaliers and the covenanters IIRC were against it as well.
True enough, especially since Cromwell kicked out all the Presbyterians out of Parliament (which I argue was his smartest move). But this also follows the "covenanting" discussion in one of the 2 million theonomy threads. My point was the overall outlook of Reformed people is different today. We have been Americanized.
