For <a href="/wiki/Blair_Worden" title="Blair Worden">Blair Worden</a>, Cromwell’s religious policy was rooted in a search for union of believers, rather than toleration of differing beliefs, and religious persecution was the largest obstacle to this union.

So, by the 1640s, the imminent conversion of the Jews was a widespread belief among Puritans. Indeed during that decade the Christians who were most liberal towards Jews are also those who were most committed to their conversion. A number of these ‘admissionists’ were close to Cromwell, including <a href="/wiki/John_Sadler_(Town_Clerk_of_London)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Sadler (Town Clerk of London)">John Sadler</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Dury" title="John Dury">John Dury</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Peter" title="Hugh Peter">Hugh Peter</a>.

The exiled Royalist <a href="/wiki/Edward_Nicholas" title="Edward Nicholas">Sir Edward Nicholas</a> is one of the few admissionists who did not seem interested in conversion. By contrast, the anti-admissionists were often animated by the belief that it would be difficult or impossible to convert the Jews. <a href="/wiki/William_Prynne" title="William Prynne">William Prynne</a>’s anti-Semitic pamphlet <i>A Short Demurrer</i>, which was printed on the eve of the Whitehall Conference, and the pamphlet <i>Anglo-Judaeus or The History of the Jews Whilst Here in England</i> by W.H. both doubt that the Jews would be converted once in England.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Many millenarians at the time emphasised the chosen role of England in God’s plan, and this was often accompanied by the identification the Jews as the true Israel of the Bible.
