therefore cruelty must a plot against the Protectors life by one Colonel Iohn Gerrard Mr. Fox Mr. Vowel and others who not being chargeable by the Laws for any such attempts were brought before a High Court of Justice and Colonel Gerrard and Mr. Vowel condemned and severally executed with Gerrard was executed Don Pontaleon the Portugal Ambassadors Brother who had made a Riot in the New-Exchange and slain a Gentleman to whose rescue this Noble Gerrard very bravely ventured and yet their fate was one General Middleton lands in Scotland with some supplyes from the King whereupon Glencarn and Seasort joyn with him and put a new face upon the Kings business there but in conclusion all came to nothing the Earl of Middleton being defeated at Longherry who had marched through all the Highlands after him and there overtook and worsted him Middleton himself escaping and the Earl of Glencarn and the Lords of the Royal Party coming in upon conditions till all was quieted in that Kingdome Anno Domini 1654. King Charles the Second about this time departed the Kingdome of France upon intimation of a Treaty then on foot betwixt that Crown and the Protector whom soon followed his Brother the Duke of York and the Duke of Glocester being tempted to turn Papist was fought out of the Jesuites Colledg by the Marquess of Ormond according to the command of the King his Brother Now according to the Instrument of Government Cromwel called his first Triennial Parliament which had sit but just five lunary moneths spent in debating the aforesaid Instrument and Cromwells Authority when Cromwell came sent for the House to the Painted Chamber and dissolved it with a very ted●ous and deceitful speech Now another plot after this dissolution of the Parliament which ended with much publick discontent and therefore was thought a very fit juncture for such a business was found out and discovered from abroad by one Manning one of the Secretaries to the King then at Colen The first eruption of this general design was at Salisbury on the sixteenth of March of some three hundred men under the command of Sir Ioseph Wagstaff in chief and Colonel Penruddo●k and Gr●ves consisting altogether o● men of quality and condition These proceeded Westward where at Blandford they proclaimed the King but Oliver knowing the plot before hand had sent some horse that way who forthwith pursued them they bending towards Devonshire where at Southmolton they were surprized in their quarters Wagstaff escaped but Penruddock and Groves though after quarter promised by Colonel Vnton Crook who took them with some twenty more were beheaded and executed 〈◊〉 several places Another party at the same time surprized the Town of Shrewsbury and endeavoured to take the Castle but were discovered and so failed of their enterprise The like rising also in Montgomerysh●re in Sherwood Forrest in Nottingham●hire and in Yorkshire and Northumberland so that though it was laid generally through the Nation yet by the treachery of that Manning the design was fr●strated which soon brought after it a trick called Decimation of the Cavaliers Estates for their old and this new so termed Delinquency The Protector had feared himself as he thought pretty fast in his new Usurpation he had concluded a League with the Dutch and Whitlock had made another for him with the Swede and now the French had also entred into the like Confederation prevening the Sp●n●ard the first design whereof proved to be an attempt upon the King of Spains West-Indies advised by Cardinal Mazarine and vigorously put in execution by the Protector for on the nineteenth of December a well-appointed Fleet set sail from Portsmouth to the Barbadoes where and not before the General had order to open their Commissions Venables for the Land and Pen for the Sea forces no body certainly knowing their design an occasion of much mischief afterwards to the expedition neither Commanders nor Souldiers being sufficiently provided for so long a service with necessaries On the 29th of Ianuary the whole Fleet except the Charity where the horses and other provisions were put aboard arrived at Anchor in Carlisle Bay at the Barbadoes and landed their men where having made up the three thousand they brought with them from England to the number of eight thousand with Planters from the adjacent Isles the 31 of March they set sail from the Barbadoes and six daies after at S. Christophers took in thirteen hundred men more Voluntiers and from thence on the thirteenth of April arrived at S. Domingo Here a Councel of War was called and it was determined that Gen Venables should land with seven thousand men and three daies provision ten or twelve leagues Westward to the Town the Army being ve●y joyf●l and expecting nothing less then heaps of gold accordingly they landed but then a Proclamation was made that no man should touch or plunder to his own use any plate money c. which so deaded their hearts that what with that and the incommodiousness and thirst they suffered in that hot passage being forced to drink their own Urine they were so disheartned and dismayed that at the very first encounter of the Enemy their courage failed them and an inconsiderable Enemy made great execution on them Anno Domini 1655. This first succesless combat struck a panick fear through the whole Army so that they began to grow afraid of the rustling of the leafs of those thick woods they wandred in but at last up they came to a Fort neer S. Domingo where having made ready their Mortar Guns to play upon it orders were given for the dismounting and hiding of them and the next day with all hast the Army reimbarqued again having neither provision nor any thing else fit for their long return to Windward for Barbadnes and therefore it was resolved that they should steer directly before the wind to Iamaica where they arrived on the eighteenth of May and meeting no opposition landed and possest themselves of the chiefest Town whereupon ensued a Treaty betwixt the Spanish Governour and the General which spun out time till the Inhabitants had conveyed away their best goods and cattel and soon after this worthy adventure the two Generals returned into England and for shew-sake were clapt up in the Tower by the Protector and presently again released But great was the mortality of this expedition scarce one in four surviving and the same misery befell them that were afterwards sent thither being two thousand stout old Souldiers under the several commands of Colonel Humphreys and Lievtenant Colonel Brayn who was sent last to command in chief in that new-gained Island But what honour was lost here was something compensated by the valour of General Blake who at the same time that this Fleet went for the West-Indies was sent with another into the Straits to repress the violence of the Pyrates of Algiers who had so infested those Seas that commerce was not free for any Nation Therefore having
