The flatteries of the House cajoling him with the Honour of Hampâ—on Court and his Brother the Honorable Sir Th.

He commends to them the State desiring them to provide for a Free and full Parliament in whose resolves he himself and the whole Nation might acquiess As soon as they sit they vote his Excellency according to agreement Lord General of all the Forces in England Scotland and Ireland which trust he managed with much discretion and faithfulness modelling his Army to a temper suitable with the designes he had in hand disarming the Phanatiques in City and Countrey in the mean time taking care to arm Loyalty while he â—ayd the Factions naked Now to let the world see

In Scotland he impartially executed all Lawes enacted by the Supreame power in England tending to the peace welfare of that Nation so that his severities had not formerly enraged them more than his justice obligeth them and therefore Oliver omitted no opportunity to tempt him out of Scotland by calling him to the other house c. which temptations he dextrously put off choosing with Caesar rather to be first in Scotland than 3d. or 4th in England so that the Usurper was heard often to say that he could do many things were G. M. out of Scotland And if I am not deceived by knowing and good men the Usurper upon his death-bed when he was urged to name his successour professed It was in vain to set up a Protector in England for George Monck would bring a King out of Scotland MODERN POLICY The Second Part. ALthough upon Cromwel's death it was thought the awe whereby he checked the private designes of each party to an homage to his own was so happily removed that the severall Grandees would now publickly pursue their aime at that Supremacy to which each of them was willing to advance Cromwell first one daring enough to break the ice to an usurpation that they themselves might be his Seconds and because as Seneca saith seelera dissident their villainous Enterprises would interfer and clash each of them resolving to admit neither equall nor superiour it was thought honest men might have opportunities to joyn together in vindication of lawfull Soveraignty and publick Right while the Theeves and the a pâ—blick Robbers as the Pirates told Alexander fell out about oppression and wrong Take off the common Principles in which Rebels agree and the common persons that keep them together with those Principles their variety of humors and interests bring them immediately to a division and then to a ruine Machiavel Kings l. 2. c. 3. on Livy l. 6. c. 2. sect. 3. These Rods that have lain so long upon our backs might be singly broken when they could not be broken united and in a bundle But Cromwell taking as much care to keep usurped power as he took to gain it Nec minor est virtus quaerere quum pertatueri and being a man of {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} as Arist. de Aâ— l. 2. c. 1.

And therefore its pitty as Socrates saith that great and good have been separated he secured not the Government with more policy to himself then he doth to his Heires after him for ever for naming his Son Richard Successor according to a power cunningly gained by him from the Parliament in a Petition and Advice 1656. he contrived him an impregnable inâ—erest first in Ireland by his Bâ—other Henry made there Lord Deputy secondly in Scotland by a Councell and an Army made up for the most part either of Relations or of Fanatiques or of New-purchasers of the Kings Queens and Bishops Lands all equally engaged to the Usurper thirdly in England 1. by a Councell made up of his Fathers own Creatures 2. An Army under his Brother in Law Fleeâ—wood Commander in chief his 〈◊〉 le Desborough as Major Generall and seveâ—all other Relations of his in great command so that his Army was like that of Abrams of his own house 3. The City awed by a pack of Sectaries under one Io. Ireton a Creature of his since the marriage of his Brother Henry with Oliver's Daughter 4. The Countrey people generally so much pleased with the obliging carriage to which Oliver
politickly brought him up that they generally said If we must needs have an Usurper we will be content to have him His Excellency saw Richard so well settled that to attempt any thing against so well layed a Government in the behalf of his most Sacred Majesty had been but to hazard the best Cause with his own and his Friends persons and fortunes against a tide which swelling higher by the opposition would quickly have overwhelmed them And therefore he submitted himself to a compliance with the Power then in being acting by its authority knowing as Grotius saith jure belli pacis p. 1. c. 73. That the acts of empire which an Usurper exerciseth may have power to oblige not out of his right which is none but because its better his Commands should prevail and be of force then utter confusion be brought in the Laws and Iudgements being taken away See Suarez leg. l. 3. c. 10. n. 7. vid. de potest civ. n. 23. And so his Excellency went on with the Usurper â—trengthening the hands of the evill doer for publique good while he was weakening him in private interest We may observe in Nature that the severall parts of it though they are ordinarily true and faithfull â—o their standing rule law and duty the light going upwards and the heavy downwards c. yet they are allowed to comply with a violence that brings them out of their place order against their inclination and law to fill up such chasmes and supply such vacuities as may endanger the dissolution of the whole Besides I think really his Excellency together with our Gracious Soveraign had rather the Invader should be left in possession then occasion given to such dangerous and bloudy commotions as they both trembled at the thoughts of which yet must necessarily follow upon any violence against those men who have strong Factions on their side at home and as strong Conâ—ederacies abroad It was their opinion {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Plutarch Or as Favonius hath it Civill War is worse then unlawfull Government-Mihi pax omni cum civibus bellâ— civilii utilior videtur Cic. Titus Quintus thought it better the Tyrant Nubis had been let alone at Lacedemon when he could not otherwise be thrown down but with the ruine of the Common-wealth likely to perish in vindication of her Liberty For as Aristophanes hath it A Lion is not to be bred in a City but if he be brought up he must be kept For indeed we nec morbum ferre possumus nec remedium Liv. Yea we were so unfortunately sick that we feared plus periculâ— a medico quam a morbo For though Usurpation falls heavy upon many particulars yet the bloudy consequences of an intestine War are worse spreading and permanent His Excellency was as carefull to keep others within an usefull moderation and prudence as he was to act according to it himself and therefore upon Oliver's death He and the Councel make an Order That there be none brought from beyond the Seas to Scotland and that none be carried from Scotland beyond the Seas without speciall leave and a Passe That there be no unusuall meetings of Persons dangerously affected to the Peace of that Nation c. And seized upon severall persons dangerously busie about his Majesties Affairs in that Kingdome whereby he at once seemed to be very cordiall against his Majesties interest and for that of the Usurpers and really did his Majesty the best service imaginable and his Friends the greatest â—â—rtesie 1. Restraining them from those attempts which had been their ruine AEquum non est saith Stallius ut sapiens disipientiâ—m causu in pericula turbas se conâ—icâ—aâ—â— See Nâ—hem 9. 27. 2. And withdrawing from the Usurper that advantage which he made of such vain and empty oppositions towards his own establishment and settlementâ— who knows noâ— that Oliver was advanced to that height we ere while admired and feared by those plots which he subtlely contrived and others were foolishly trapanned to by whose discovery and defeat he rendered himself formidable and by sly insinuations of what danger the Government and the three Nations were in by reason of them prevailed with his Conventions to secure the Common-wealth by promoting his power daily upon the occasion of one pretended Plot after another untill he scrued himself up to the power of the most absolute Monarch in Europe His Excellency thought that monstrous Power would fall away of it self which might be held up and strengthened by opposition A Lacedemonian in Plutarch when he read Hos dum Marte parant dominatum extinguere saevus ante saliuntis Maenia mors rapâ—it added Merito viri illi periere expectare enim debâ—erunt ut ipse per se dominatus conflugraret In the meantime he resolved to acquiesce discreetly in the determination of the free and full Parliament which Richard and his Councell were happily necessitated to call towards the right constitution of which he contributed much in the choice of such Parliament men for Scotland as the Malignant party in England would not have willingly admitted to the House who when they entered assisted the Honest party in such counsels as would have brought down the power which Oliver set up with so much bloâ—d and treasure in the twinkling of an eye without any noise or stir wherefore they were suddenly after dissolved by the Army with a consent that Richard gave to it {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Although his Excellency was sorry to see such unwarrantable violence offered to a free Parliament made up of the hoâ—ourable Representatives of three Nations yet he was pleased to see that vast Power taken from Cromwel's Family by the same Authority that gave it them even before a third Heir enâ—oyed it He so well foresaw the future establishment of these Nations through these severall revolutions as the establishment of a fair World out of a Chaos that he stuck not in an Address to the Parliament whom the Army had invited to reassume their power which they had once forced them from and now looked upon as the onely Authority that could serve their turn and interest to say that the Nation was then born in a day When those Members that the Army had called in refused the admission of the secluded Members those worthy Patriots that were resolved to doe their King and their Countrey right when they resolved to â—surp the Government denying the Nation their priviledge of being governed by a free and full Parliament and siding with a company of Sectaâ—ies and desperate persons that were engaged to ruine our Church and State neglected our honourable Nobility our worshipfull Gentry our reverend Clergy and in a word slighted three Kingdomes and with their assistance awe us with Militia's and oppress us with Assesments so farre to the discontent of the whole Nation that they agree upon a generall Insurrection upon the first of
