The reference to 'witch hunters' almost certainly does not relate to either Cromwell or the New Model Army. It does describe the loonier of the prebyterians that Cromwell smashed at Dunbar.

Cromwell and his followers (if the latter did profess religious views) were largely independents, with a sprinkling of anabaptists. They were disgusted with the witch trials, and certainly put a stop to them in Scotland.

Cromwell was, by and large, a tolerant man, who hated religious fanatacism - "I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think that you may be mistaken."
