A True and Impartial Relation of the present Actings at Westminster under the mask of The Good old Cause IT is not unknown to any that have not been wilfully blind wi●h what a high hand of Arbitrary Power the late Protector Oliver Cromwell swayed the Scepter of these three Nations for the space of five years and laid the best foundations his short and troublesome Reign would give leave to have continued his posterity in the same unlimited dominion declaring when death summoned him to account if we may credit the greatest of our present Rulers h●s eldest Son Richard his Successor in his usurped dominion and leaving his Son Henry Lord Lieutenant or Viceroy of Ireland and his Daughter Fleetwood married to the Commander in chief under him of the Army which they had very far new modelled for their turn and the most probable competitor for succession in the Protectorship Now that subtle Lambert was upon discovery his active undermining spirit removed from all places of trust and

like occasions in the richest times death giving him that honour which he had aspired to but durst not embrace in his life time his Son Richard an honest private Gentleman well beloved in Hampshire the Country where he lived ascended the throne by the invitation and incouragement of Fleetwood D. shorough Syd●nham the two Jones's Thurloe and others the Relations and Confidents of his Father and

introduction being made to the transferring the Government of these Nations from the Stewarts to the Cromwells it was conceived by those who had proceeded thus far that a General convention or 〈…〉 ●isely chosen by influences from Court would easily swallow what had been so well prepared to their hands And accordingly it 〈…〉 by the Junio before mentioned that a Par●●●ment should be called to meet the twenty seventh of January last and by pretence of resto●ing the people to their ancient way of Elections but really that the Court might command the more votes the Burroughs had Writs also sent to them and the Elections were all made in the antient way only thirty members were called by W●i●s from Scotland and as many from Ireland according to the late combination of the three Nations into one Commonwealth This new kind of Parliament being met at the time and place appointed God had so well ordered the Elections notwithstanding the practices of men that their English Spirit quickly appeared both against Impositions from Court and Army And though their Counsels were at first interrupted with an Act of Recognition of the Protector prepared and brought in by the Court which took up the first fortnight of their time upon the very point of Recognition ye● they were at length extricated from that difficulty by the Expedient of an honest Gentleman in passing these votes on Monday
