A65583 A second narrative of the late Parliament (so called) wherein, after a brief reciting some remarkable passages in the former narrative, is given an account of their second meeting, and things transacted by them : as also how the Protector (so called) came swearing, by the living God, and dissolved them, after two or three weeks sitting : with some quæries sadly proposed thereupon : together with an account of three and forty of their names, who were taken out of the house, and others that sate in the other house, intended for a House of Lords, but being so unexpectedly disappointed, could not take root, with a brief character and description of them : all humbly presented to publique view / by a friend to the good old cause of justice, righteousnesse, the freedom and liberties of the people, which hath cost so much bloud and treasury to be carried on in the late wars, and are not yet settled. Wharton, George, Sir, 1617-1681. 1658 (1658) Wing W1556; ESTC R8011 50,589 52

Judicature was questioned being dissolved and the Protector taking the Government upon him he adventured to comply with the rest notwithstanding the danger that so he might keep his place and interest and avoid a new Storm or Frown from the present Power Men need not seek far or study much to read him and what principles he acts by All things considered he may doubtless be very fit to be Lord of the Rolls being Master already and to be taken out of the Parliament to be made a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people as well as over the causes in the Rolls being so thoroughly exercised in Negatives at his own will and pleasure as too many have sadly felt 19. Mr. Cleypole Son of Mr. Cleypole in Northamptonshire now Lord Cleypole he long since married the Protectors Daughter a person whose qualifications not answering those honest principles formerly so pretended to of putting none but godly men into places of trust was a long time kept out but since the Apostacy from those principles as also the practise brake in and his Father-in-law the head thereof came to be Protector he was then judged good enough for that dispensation and so taken in to be t Master of his Horse as Duke Hamilton to the King Much need not be said of him his Relation as Son-in-law to the Protector is sufficient to bespeak him every way fit to be taken out of the House and made a Lord and having so long time had a Negative Voyce over his Wife Spring Garden the Ducks Deer Horses and Asses in Jameses Park is the better skilled how to exercise it again in the Other House over the good people of these Nations without any gainsaying or dispute 20. Lord Faulconbridge a Gentleman whose Relations are most Cavaleeres his Uncle formerly Governour of Newark for the King against the Parliament was absent over the water in the time of the late Wars a Neuter at least if not disaffected to the cause came back the Wars being over and hath lately marryed one of the Protectors Daughters and was in a fair way had things hit right to have been one of his Council as well as his Son-in-law however suitable to the times he is lately made a Colonel of Horse his Relation both to the old and new Monarchy may sufficiently plead his worth and merits not onely to have his Daughter but also a Negative Voyce in the other House over all that adventured their lives in the cause formerly and over all the people of these Lands besides 21.

Lord Broghil his Rise and Relation for means is Ireland a Gentleman of good parts and wit able to make Romance but was not looked on formerly by those of the Good Old Cause as a person fit to be trusted with the command of one Town or Castle in Ireland yet is he now by this happy change become a goodly Convert to be confided in and is made w President of the Protectors Council in Scotland he was of the Latter Parliaments a great Kingling and one that in the Last Parliament so called put on hard that way wherefore it were great pity he being also a Lord of the old Stamp and so well gifted if he should not be one to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people of England and Scotland as well as of Ireland it being a good while since and almost forgotten that the Protector said It would never be well and we should never see good days whilst there was one Lord left in England and until the Earl of Manchester was called Mr. Mountague 23.
