TO THE READER THere have been few Persons upon whose actions so many different Sentiments have passed as upon those of Oliver Cromwel some advancing his Courage and Reputation to the height others on the contrary depressing them as low and not allowing that he had any thing praise-worthy in his Conduct in those great Imployments and Offices even the Government of the Three Nations which he passed through Yea they invade the Almighties Province of judging the Hearts and Thoughts of Men attributing all to Hypocrisie and Ambition asserting that he had Hopes and Expectations of raising himself to that Grandeur whereto he after arrived many years before he attained it nay so early as when he was but a Collonel and can hardly be thought to have had the least prospect thereof But to leave every Man to his Opinion in this matter I thought it might not be unacceptable to my Country-men to give a plain and Impartial Account of Matters of Fact performed and acted by him both in his Military and afterwards in his Civil Capacity without Reflections on Parties which ought to be the care of a faithful Historian if he expects to be believed by Posterity It is a Maxim That great Virtues have been often mixed with great Vices in many great men in the World neither is Cromwel excused from this Censure who had several worthy and blameable Qualities in him but since he is out of the reach either of good or bad Report I shall leave him and refer you to read his Atchievements which are briefly related in the following Manual R. B. THE HISTORY OF Oliver Cromwel OLiver Cromwel was descended of an Ancient Family in Huntington-shire who had a very plentiful Estate his Grandfather was Sir Henry Cromwel a Person of good Reputation and had issue five Sons Sir Oliver his Eldest Henry Robert Richard and Philip. This our Oliver Cromwel was Son of the third Brother Richard who was likewise in much esteem in his Country and Married Elizabeth Steward Peace of Sir Robert Steward a Gentleman of a considerable Estate in that Country by whom he had this Oliver who was born in the Town of Huntington April 25. 1599. and had his Name given him by his Uncle Sir Oliver When he was a Child he seemed to delight in Manlike Exercises and by the care of his Father was sent to the Free School of that Town and afterward to Sydney-Colledge in Cambridge where while he was a Student there were several Omens of his future Grandeur and he was observed more to be enclined to the Military than Contemplative Life During his continuance here his Father died upon which he returned home and spent hi● time in the Youthful Follies and Extravagancies incident to persons of his age and temper whereupon his Mother by the advice of her Friends sent him up to London and placed him in Lincolns-Inn thereby to qualifie him for a Gentleman and to put him into a Capacity to be serviceable to his Country Having continued here for some time and not being able to confine himself to this Sedentary Imployment he again returns into the Country and there proceeds in the same lewd courses as before but as he grew in years he became more solid and considerate insomuch that in a while he was as remarkable for his Sobriety as before for his Rudene●s and V●nity which so much pleased and obliged his Uncle Sir Robert Steward that he left him his Heir to a very fine Estate of four or five hundred pounds a year But before this came into his hands by the Death of his Uncle the reputation of it and the remarkable alteration in his disposition recommended him to Elizabeth the Daughter of Sir James Boucher whom he Married and though at first when this notable reformation was perceived in him he adhered to the Church of England frequenting the most famous Preachers with much seeming warmth and zeal yet afterwards when those called Puritans grew popular he began to have a good opinion of them inviting the Ministers to his House and entertaining them with much kindness and to demonstrate the reality of this change of his mind there is an instance of his freely returning a considerable sum of Money to a person from whom he had won it some years before by Gaming Such actions and the seeming sincerity of his Conversation raised his esteem yet higher with all persons of that Party who had such an opinion of his Wisdom and Abilities that when King Charles I. called that Parliament in 1640. which for its duration was afterward Named the Long he was by the Interest of his Friends elected Parliament-man for the Town of Cambridge Soon after this the War began between the King and Parliament one Party declaring they took Arms for defending the Prerogatives of the Crown and the other the Priviledges of Parliaments and Liberties of the People As soon as ever this fatal division happened wherein so many Thousands afterward lost their Lives and Estates Cromwel whose inclination was always Martial presently ingaged in the quarrel and having obtained a Commission from the Parliament quickly raised a Troop of Horse for their service of the most promising men he could choose and to try their Valour in jest before they came to exercise it in earnest he secretly ordered a dozen of them to issue out suddenly upon the rest with a Trumpet sounding a Charge as if they came from some of the Kings Garrisons that were not far off which they performed with so much briskness that about twenty of the new Troopers fled away with all possible speed whom Cromwel having reproached for their Cowardice dismounted and cashier'd mounting their Horses with persons of a more couragious temper He was likewise nominated a Commissioner in the Ordinance for settling the Militia whereby the Eastern Countries associated themselves together declaring that they would stand by the Parliament against all Opposers and Cromwel being sensible that the University of Cambridge was most inclined to the Royal Interest he had a particular regard to the place of his Education and very dexterously secured both the Town and a great quantity of the Colledge Plate even at the very instant when it was upon the point of being conveyed to the King at Oxford After this he forms a Garrison at Whitlesea where a Bridge joins the County of Norfolk with the 〈◊〉 of Ely and is the only passage from thence into Li●●colnshire the greatest part whereof was possest by the Kings party and by this means he cut off
