Scotland and Ireland being wholy subdued in the hands of his most trusty Privado's and Confidents his New Son-in-Law Fleetwood for Ireton was dead of the Plague at Limbrick being Deputy of Ireland and General Monck Governour of Scotland he proposeth to the Parliament the desires of the Army for their Dissolution to make way for succession of a new Representative which they endeavouring to delay and to impose upon him with the necessities of their sitting a little while longer his Ambition could brook no longer retardments but sent Major General Harrison on the 20th of Aprill 1653. to out their Rump-ships which he accordingly did to the general rejoycing of the people who considered nor cared who should come next so they were rsid of these CHAP. X. How Cromwell ordered the Government afterward and how he made himself Lord Protector of England AFter the RUMP was thus dissolved Oliver by the advise forsooth of his General Councel of Officers erected a Councel of State of such as were true to his Interest and the Army and were well Fledg'd with the spoyles of the Kingdome but perceiving that was but a slender Authority to derive the Government to himself which was the first and last thing intended he called a pickt Conventicle of the like batch as himself and his Followers all of the Godly party whom he stiled a Parliament the name whereof was enough to Authorize and Dignifie the Resignation of the Authority they had from to him their odious actions moreover would make a single person himself more acceptable For these wild Fellows were upon Abolishing the Ministry and opening the Floodgate to Heresie and Atheisme when Cromwell dissolved them and with them discarded his old Friend and their darling Major General Harrison who was tampering with the Army to unhorse Oliver but he smelt him out and Cashiered him as he did his Trusty Friend Lambert soon after as finding they were both greater in the Army then his Safety and Interest would suffer so impossible it is for brethren in iniquity long to continue in Love and Friendship Oliver would endure no Competitor but resolved to be Single and Supreme CHAP. XI How Oliver was sworn Protector and how be managed the Government briefly THat little or foolish Parliament being divided among themselves one part thereof resigned their power unto Oliver who straight with caused the Commissioner of the Seale Mr. Lisle to Administer him an Oath on the 16th of December 1653. before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London in Westminster-Hall to observe a Module of Government in Forty Two Articles which instrument of his as was said was found in my Lady Lamberts placket and thereupon he was proclaimed Lord Protector in February he was feasted sumptuously in the City and Knighted the Lord Mayor as he did many other afterwards upon whom he had better have pissed he made also one Lord but he never owned it Now though he was proclaimed Protector yet he knew the people took him for no such thing therefore he called a parliament according to Form thinking to have been declared so by them but they would not own him or his Authority Seeing therefore he could neither get Reputation nor Money at home he resolved to have it from the King of Spains West-Indies but at Hispaniola his Forces under General Venables were strangely defeated and forced to plant themselves in Jamaica and fight for Bread instead of Gold He likewise started several plots the Fox was the finder against Cavaliers such as Colonel Gerrard and afterwards Colonel Penruddock maintaining intelligence at the price of 1500. per annum with one Manning a Clerk to the Kings Secretary who then resided at Colen who discovered most of the Kings Councel till he was discovered himself and executed on purpose to terrifie people and those especially from rising against him Now when Oliver saw he could not attaine his will by whole Parliaments he resolved on his old expedient to garble a Parliament Call it and then Cull it which he did and secluded those Members that would not before they entred recognize and own his Highnesse by which means two parts of three were excluded and he by the remainder complemented with the stile of King but for fear of Lambert and Harrison and indeed the whole Kingdome especially the Army he durst not accept of it but was content to take the Title of Protector from their Hands and was accordingly on the 16th of June 1657.
