His Funeral was a great while deferred his body embalmed and kept above ground many moneths together with mourners continually attending his corpse and meat carried up and served on his Table as if he had been the greatest Prince in Christendom and afterwards he was interred with as great funeral solemnity as ever any King of England was interred and his Hearse or Statue set up after the manner of Kings and a most most magnificent Monument erected for him It is worth the remembring that about a year or two before his death he made a new broad Seal with the Arms of England viz. a Saint Georges Cross quartered with Saint Andrews Cross for Scotland and the Harp for Ireland and his own Coat in a little Escutcheon in the midst his Helmet and Mantle with a Crown imperial and a Lion puissant for his Crest and and the supporters a Lyon and a Dragon the Motto underneath his Arms Pax quaeritur Bello And this inscription about Sigillum magnum Reipublicae Anglioe Scotiae Hiberniae On the other side himself on Horseback richly trappered as the King Seal was wont to be and the Inscription about it Oliverus Dei gratia Reipublicae Angliae Scotiae Hiberniae Protector And though he usually coined no money yet I have seen some pieces of Silver of an half crown bigness with his Arms as before on the one side and his Picture crowned with bays on the other side and the former Inscription In these respects so near he approached to the Royal dignity sure I am he assumed more power and authority then ever any King of England did The Protector before his death had according to the fore-mentioned Humble Petition and Advice appointed his eldest Son Richard Cromwel to succeed him in his place and accordingly immediately after his Fathers death he was proclaimed in London and soon after all over England The Independents Anabaptists and other Sectaries were not well pleased at it they had rather have had Fleetwood in the place who had married the late Protectors Daughter Iretons Widow for Richard had formerly been reputed a kind of a good fellow and a Royallist and never was in Arms against the King as all the rest of his Fathers Family and Allies had been Richard soon after cals a Parliament to begin at Westminster Jan. 27. not according to the Instrument of Government but after the old way two in a County c. Before the calling of the Parliament and after congratulatory Addresses are made to Richard from most Counties Cities and Corporations of Note in England extolling the merits of his heroick Father expressing their joy for the succession of such a Son and promising to adhere to him withall faithfulness and loyalty In some of their Addresses they compare the Father to Moses and the Son to Joshua the Guiders and Conductors of Gods People out of Aegyptian thraldom with other the like blasphemous expressions Richard receives these Addresses with as much gravity as they were tendered with humility so that no man could imagine but that he was most firmly fixed in his Throne And Lilly the States mercenary Prognosticator assures it from his Astrological Predictions of that year AT the opening of the Parliament Jan. 27. he makes a Speech to both his Houses wherein he minds them of his just and lawful Title to the Government not only by the wonderful Provindence of God but by the disposition of the Laws he tels them he had convened them together for important affairs of State for the honour and safety of the Nation willed them to take into consideration the necessity of the Navy and Army whom he commends for their patience and obedience to the best Army in the world some other things to this purpose he commended to them and told them in conclusion that they should find him ready and willing to concur with them in any thing for the good of the publick and to deny them nothing that was just and fit And that if this were not an happy Parliament it should not be his fault And all this says the Book was spoken with so gracious and Princely a deportment as hath gained this opinion amongst the wisest Hearers that he deservedly holds the place of Supream Magistrate in these Nations Thus the Parliament began and great hopes there were of good agreement between the Protector and the People and doubtless he for his part would have given them leave to have setled the Nation as they thought good both for Religion and Civil Government But still the other House though called as formerly and many of them convened would not down with the Commons they would not in the least own this new made House of Lords sit they might if they pleased but little or nothing they had to do for the Commons would never impart any thing to them nor indeed have any intercourse with them A pitiful company of Peers they were and accordingly regarded But Richard and the House of Commons agreed very well he was willing to leave all to them And there being a very great number of young Lawyers in the House that gaped for preferment they were willing to give him power enough too much as many suspected Ye must know that in all Parliaments since Olivers time there was a faction of men in the House called Common-wealths men that were for a free State as they called it and against a single Person These were such as had purchased the Lands of Bishops Deans and Chapters and those belonging to the late King Queen and Prince And they feared that these Lands might be at one time or other restored unless the Government were again setled in the way of a Common-wealth for a single Person they thought might possibly come to be a King With these also concurred all such both Parliament-men and Army-men as
