be left behind to see all accounts adjusted which had requir'd very good Rhetorick to have made it Justice especially to have appear'd so to the Scotish Soldiers for to have sent them away without Money and then ask the Country-man what the Soldiers had taken when he might say what he thought â— good the Soldier not there to answer for himself and yet his Pay to be thereby determin'd would have been but hard measure But the Rhetorick had been Sir Thomas Fairfax to have gone down with his Army which should have made it just and easie and every thing for this was it they desir'd to bring it to as it was often mov'd and press'd by them 64. At last the well-wishers to Peace with much ado prevail'd in the House and it was carry'd to offer the Scots a gross Sum for all so to part fair and avoid the delay and disputes of an account to which they presently agreed Then the question was what Sum. Here again we had a strong debate For our Incendiaries hung by every twig sticking fast to their Principles to dissatisfie the Scots and break with them if possible upon any point pretending the poverty of the Kingdom and the great Sums the Scots had rais'd and therefore they would give but 100000 l. which they knew was all one with a hundred Shillings as to the satisfying of the Soldiers for marching away In the end after many debates in the House and passages to and again with the Scotch Commissioners the lowest Sum that could be agreed unto by the Commissioners was 400000 l. two in hand and the other two after some time with a protestation of theirs that the Army would not be satisfy'd with less nor inabled to march which was motive enough for these Men to deny it for if they could have wrought the dissatisfaction of the Army so as to have refus'd to go it was where they would have it Whereupon 't was oppos'd by them with all the power they had but in the end the better part that is the moderate Party who were the Peace-makers those that labour'd to keep things even and fair between the two Kingdoms carry'd it And the sum was voted and all things agreed upon tho with difficulty for they fought it out and lost it by Inches then the Scots declar'd they would march out by such a day 65. Yet had our Boutefeus one hope left which was to quarrel at last about the person of the King believing the Scots would certainly have taken his Majesty with them into Scotland This they knew had been ground sufficient and would have engag'd all England against them giving a confirmation to all the jealousies formerly rais'd and occasion'd a thousand more And had certainly more advantag'd the designs of those who thirsted after the destruction of the King first the Scots next and then all such as desir'd Peace within this Kingdom and have made them a smoother way to their damnable Ends the altering of the Government and bringing in a confusion both in Church and State than any thing that could have happen'd And the two Kingdoms had been together in blood the author of the mischief undiscover'd mask'd over with the glorious pretences of zealously vindicating the honesty and interest of England and every breach of Covenant and Treaty in this Cause which made them with so much peremptoriness and incivility and in truth injustice demand that the Scots would deliver up his Majesty who had an equal interest in his Royal Person with the Kindom of England he being equally King of both and an equal interest in the closing and binding up the unhappy differences which were between him and both his Kingdoms they having been engag'd in that Quarrel at the entreaty of England and made up together with an intire Body with England as is before shewed for the prosecution of it Therefore they had no more reason to trust us with the King than we had them and as much were they concern'd in all that related to his Majesty's Person so as they had ground enough to have disputed it and out of that hope was it press'd by the others But the wisdom of the Scotish Nation foresaw the inconveniencies which must have necessarily follow'd had they been positive at that time how they had plaid their Enemies game to their own ruin and even ruin to his Majesty Therefore they made for him the best conditions they could that is for the safety and honour of his Person and to avoid greater mischiefs were necessitated to leave him in England and so march away Which they did in February 1646. 66. Here then the very mouth of Iniquity was stopt Malice it self had nothing to say to give the least blemish to the faithfulness and reality of the Kingdom of Scotland the clearness of their Proceedings their zeal for Peace without self-seeking and self-ends to make advantage of the miseries and misfortunes of England This gave such a reputation to them and to those that appear'd for them that is so far for them as to endeavour the doing of them right and prevent the practices of those who sought all means of doing them wrong and gave such a blow to the other violent Party so broke their power and lessen'd their authority in the Parliament as it made way for obtaining those resolutions which were presently taken for disbanding Sir Thomas Fairfax's Army Till when by the fomenting jealousies against the Scots and against all moderate and well affected persons as if their designs were to betray the Cause deliver over the Honour and Interest and Strength of England into the hands of the Scots they prevail'd so far generally upon the affection of the people and especially upon many well-meaning but not so well discerning persons Members of Parliament as they were able to suppress all good motions tending towards Peace all endeavours of smoothing those rugged ways that their violence had put all things in and to swell up that Independent Army like the Spleen in the Body by the concourse of all ill humours to the ruin and consumption of the Body it self And yet other Forces cashier'd as Major General Massey's Brigade which had done all the Service in the West of which those Drones robb'd the sweet getting the honour and advantage of it to themselves That tho that Army was compos'd for the most part of factious Sectaries except some few gallant Men that were scatter'd here and there amongst them as Colonel Greves Colonel Thomas Sheffield Sir Robert Pye Colonel Herbert Colonel Butler Quarter-Master General Fincher and other Officers of Quality and Gentlemen of the Life-Guard who had formerly serv'd under my Lâ—â—d of Essex and Sir William Waller and in other parts of the Kingdom to whom they did the honour of letting them perform all the Action which that Army had to do and who every one of them afterward left it when it left its obedience to the Parliament and fidelity to the Kingdom and
go into the West which they conceived would be an easie Task at that time to reduce the King's Party brought low and so not able to send any Forces into those parts for their relief and encouragement 24. This they knew would absolutely break my Lord of Essex who must harass his Army to follow a light and moving Body and if the King which was probable enough should chance to give him the slip and get from him into the West then was he ruin'd in his Reputation and liable to a Question and perhaps a further Prosecution It proved that his Majesty did get by them and passed by Sir William Waller's Quarters on the other side who as soon as he knew it marched after him and gave notice to my Lord of Essex thereof so as before he knew any thing Sir William Waller was got a days march before after the King Then was it impossible for him to overtake them and being so much nearer the West Sir William Waller engaged in the other Service he upon the Advice of his Council of War resolved to bend that way yet not to make such speed but that he should receive other Orders from our Governors above that he might comply with them Accordingly he gave that Account to the Parliament and Committee of the two Kingdoms with his desire of their Directions They were so mad to see themselves defeated of their Plot that they would not for many days return him any answer at all his disobedience was blown up and trumpeted about by them and their Agents Some of whom did not stick to say It were better my Lord of Essex and his whole Army were lost and ruined than the Parliament not obeyed and that by their consents he nor his Army should be look'd after or cared for more A Maxim they have forgotten now in the case of Sir Thomas Fairfax and his Army's not Disobedience but open Rebellion but they were as good as their words then and did most maliciously wilfully and treacherously as to the Parliaments Cause which they seemed to be zealous in suffer General and Army to be lost and the whole West left further out of the Parliaments reach than before 25. Sir Arthur Haslerig posted up to London breathing out nothing but ruin and destruction to the Earl of Essex spoke it out in the hearing of several persons That he would ruin him or be ruined himself His malice and violence was so great at the Committee of the two Kingdoms where he and his Party were prevalent that a report was thence brought down to the House of Commons by which Sir William Waller was taken off from following the King and by that means the King was left at liberty to bend his whole force for the West after my Lord of Essex which he presently did At last they left my Lord of Essex at liberty to proceed in that Western Expedition but with a resolution to let him perish He takes in Weymouth and some other Towns goes on as far as Cornwal whither the King's Forces follow him at the heels cut off all provision from him press upon him exceedingly and put him to very great streights He engaged in a Country inclosed with deep Ditches and strong Fences that he could neither break through nor march away but sends Letter upon Letter Messenger upon Messenger to the Parliament representing his Condition and how easie it was with a small force sent upon the back of the King's Army if but only a good Party of Horse to stop their Provisions and turn the Tables streighten them and free him than which certainly nothing had been more easie and would have saved the Kingdom a Mass of Treasure and thousands of good Mens lives which the continuance of the War after that time did cost 26. But our Masters did not desire then to see the War at an end they had not the Sword in those hands they would have it for to break the King's forces well knowing they must then have had a Peace and such a Peace as had carried with it an establishment of the King's Government a keeping up the Nobility and Gentry all things must have returned into their proper Channel and the security of the Parliament and Kingdom being provided for the Law of the Land must have taken place their Arbitrary Empire been at an end and their Design wholly defeated 27. Therefore my Lord of Essex must not be relieved but sacrificed to their Ambition the King's Army must be yet preserved to give them a colour to new model theirs and put the Power into the base hands of their Creatures which should keep the Kingdom in a perpetual Bondage and tho they ended the War with the King yet never made Peace but continued to grind the Faces and break the Backs of the People with Taxes and Free-Quarter to maintain an Army when no Enemy was left in a word they govern by the Sword the height of all Misery and Slavery that any Land can undergo 28. My Lord of Essex and his Army were by this means broken in Cornwal in the latter end of that Summer and the King seemed to gain a great Advantage recover a great deal of Strength but to nip that they soon provided Force sufficient it suiting with their Ends that his Majesty should seem strong but not be so Therefore the Soldiers of that Army which had lost their Arms in Cornwal are presently armed again and two other Armies joined to them the Earl of Manchester's and Sir W. W aller's who gave the King's Forces a ruffle at Dennington gaining some of the Works Yet when the King came with the remainder of his Strength they did not think it convenient to put it to the trial of a Day but suffered him to march away when it had been a most easie thing to have prevented it And even there in all likelyhood have made an end of the business which was that they feared and Sir Arthur Haslerig could come up to London and into the House of Commons all in beaten Buff cross girt with Sword and Pistols as if he had been killing his thousands when 't is more probable if there was any danger that he had been crying under a Hedg as he did at Cherrington Fight bellowing out Ah wo is me all is lost we are all undone insomuch that a great Officer a Scotch-man finding him in that tune wished him to go off the Field and not stand gudding there a Scotch term for crying to dishearten the Soldiers but in the House of Commons he feared nothing none so fierce and valiant without fear or wit and there like a great Soldier in that habit gave a Relation of what had pass'd highly extolling the gallantry and conduct of all the Commanders the valour of the Soldiers that no mortal Men could do more that the best Soldiers in the world could not have hinder'd the King's marching off and that it had been no wisdom to have adventur'd to fight
upon them If either of which had taken they had still kept themselves behind the Curtain and hid the Arm which had thrown the Stone they had seem'd alas innocent well-meaning Men and yet the mischief befallen which they had contriv'd But rather than fail they will throw of the Vizard and come downright with open face to the executing their Design They set on their Teazers as Haslerig Mildmay Martin and many others to move That Sir Thomas Fairfax might go down with his Army to protect those Northern Counties and relieve them from the oppression of the Scots a pretty way of protection and giving ease to send an Army into a Country We see how this Army eases the Country now to the breaking both of their backs and hearts But could they have gotten a Vote for this their work had been done and we should soon have heard of mischief and felt it The animosity between those two Armies had instantly put them and the Kingdoms into blood for which no question Sir Thomas Fairfax had his Instructions but the House would never give way to it tho with earnestness prest many times by that Party And when they saw they could not prevail the presumptions are very strong that they would have had the Army to have march'd thither without the Parliament's order for the Scots had an alarm of the Army 's moving towards them and their Commissioners so inform'd the House with a protestation against it upon which there was a stop with a denial and disavowment of their having any such intention Yet certainly there was an attempt and it is said orders out for part of the Army to move that way but God be thanked it went no further for that would have been a sad business 59. Before I go off this matter I must do that right to Col. Pointz who commanded the Northern Forces as to attribute to his care and vigilancy and his discreet ordering of his business a great part of our happiness that all that mischief was prevented which was so earnestly endeavour'd to be pull'd on us by engaging the Country and Scotish Army in quarrel and bloodshed and that was his Crime with these Men to be for it since so unjustly put out of his Command after they had stir'd up the unruly Rabble of the Agitators to take him by violence out of his House at York being as absolutely in his Command as Fairfax was in his Meerly doing it by an act of power force and violence breaking through all Rules of Justice Equity and Honesty bringing him a Prisoner to the Army not suffering him so much as to put on his Clothes or speak to his Wife or any Friend but use him as if he had been the greatest Traytor in the world when Sir Thomas Fairfax could not pretend to the least jurisdiction over him not any thing could be laid to his charge Such is their hatred of every honest Man who stands in their way to their pernicious designs 60. Their next hope was that the Scotish Army would not go out of the Kingdom at the desire of the Parliament so bloody Noses would be upon that occasion and I must give them their due there was no failure in them to do all that was possible to have kept them in still only to quarrel with them but with a seeming to desire nothing so much as their going Very forward they were to get the Vote of the Parliament that they should be gone but to inable them to go they would not help rather hinder and hang on all the weights they could To say the truth they had some ground to believe First That they would not go Secondly That they could not if they would for the Scots had a colour if not just reason to have refus'd 61. By the Covenant and Treaty the two Kingdoms had bound themselves before God and one to another as one intire Body to prosecute the Cause these are the very words of the Declaration of both Houses to the State of the united Provinces which Declaration Mr. Sollicitor himself penn'd therefore they must hold it Canonical and that neither Kingdom should lay down Arms till the Ends mention'd in the Covenant and Treaty were obtain'd If then in this Cause the Forces of both Kingdoms made but one intire Body the Scots had a good Plea Why will you send us away and disband us wholly This proceeding is not equal the Body must suffer and cannot act as an intire Body if one whole Member be cut off or if there be no more need of acting if the Ends be obtain'd for which the Body was constituted and therefore you send us away then why do you keep up your own Army the other part of this Body This had certainly been strong reason which Mr. Sollicitor would have been puzled to answer 62. Besides the Scots had cause enough to have their jealousie prompt them that it was not safe for them to depart with their Army lay by their Swords and leave standing in this Kingdom so great a Force which they knew to be so ill affected to them and might act to their prejudice and the King being in their power perhaps force both him and the Parliament to a Peace disadvantageous to Scotland and differing from those grounds upon which by the Kingdom of England they were engag'd in this Quarrel or else make no Peace at all but interpose as Cromwel to the Earl of Manchester to hinder it and themselves govern by the Sword not only to the prejudice of Scotland but also ruin of England One may swear there was ground enough for such a fear for since it hath prov'd so to purpose But according to the old Rule they who mean well themselves are not suspicious of others The Scots had no thoughts but of setling a Peace laying down of Arms calling the People and all things to revert into their old Channel therefore they were willing to be gone and return into their own Country in confidence that after their departure the Army under Sir Thomas Fairfax should likewise presently be disbanded since there was no more need of any Army at all so they were willing to go 63. But then the question was if they would go or not and how the Soldiers would be dispos'd to march out who had not been paid of so many Months insomuch as the Scotish Commissioners gave in an account of some 800000 l. Arrears Here our Gallants hop'd they had them upon the Hip and should surely give them a fall Then they thrust on some of their little Northern Beagles as Mr. Blaxton and others to inform what high Sums they had rais'd upon the Country upon which they conclude the Scotish Army was in their debt and therefore they would come to an account with them which had been a sure way to have kept them in the Kingdom five or six months longer But to help that our just Pay-masters said the Army should march away and some persons
or Colonel Fleetwood which was given to Colonel Fleetwood as one Lieutenant Markham inform'd the House saying the Messenger that brought it told him so nor did Sir Arthur Haslerig make a clear answer when he was ask'd concerning it in the House Colonel Fleetwood being at that time gone to the Army so as he could not be examin'd 97. By this trick they hope to catch the people and so find no resistance to their traiterous proceedings yet they will not trust only to Jugling they will play a sure Game and have power in their hands to go through the work and make their way if it will not be given Therefore the Army must be put into a posture for it they have the Soldiers already they must have Artillery and Ammunition so at the same meeting Cromwel likewise appoints Ioyce as the same Authors relate to repair to Oxford secure that Garison the Magazine and Train of Artillery which had there lain many Months the Army having had nothing to do and so no use for it which therefore the Parliament had then order'd to be remov'd and brought back to the Tower the place where all Stores are kept But those who were sent down by the Parliament for that purpose were by these Mutineers beaten and wounded the Magazine and Train kept away by force and besides some 3 or 4000 l. in Money taken from them which they had carry'd down for disbanding of the Regiment there in Garison And now they think they have all in their own hands the Fish is catcht they may throw away the Net They begin thereforre to appear in their own Colours Cromwel Ireton with the rest of the Cabal and Sir Thomas Fairfax in the last place who tho he be General is not to lead but will be sure to follow close may not lay aside their innocency and their ignorance for all this while they knew nothing and put themselves in the head of the Agitators own all they have done and at Triploe Heath near Cambridg appoint a general Rendevous there to declare themselves and avowedly enter into the Confederacy 96. At this Rendevous was fram'd that solemn Engagement wherein they say they look upon the resolutions of the Parliament for their disbanding as proceeding from malicious and mischievous Principles and Intentions and not without carnal and bloody purposes That therefore they are resolv'd not to appear at the places thereto appointed and then declare agree and promise to and with each other That till they have such satisfaction in all their Grievances and such security for the future as shall be agreed on at a Council consisting of the general Officers with two Commission Officers and two Soldiers to be chosen for each Regiment they will not disband or divide nor suffer themselves to be disbanded or divided And this is one result of that meeting of the godly obedient Army this the fruit of the new Model and of all the great undertakings of that man of God as his Disciples call'd him Lieutenant General Cromwel in their behalf 99. They likewise frame there another submissive business which they call'd an humble Representation of the dissatisfaction of the Army in relation to the late resolution for so sudden disbanding where they are more large in their humble cudgeling of the Parliament and do it to that purpose with a scorn of all that had been offer'd to their satisfaction say The private Soldiers will not regard what is behind of Pay after disbanding implying all must be had require further security for the Officers Arrears as Forest Lands and the revenues of Cathedrals quarrel with the ordinances past for Indemnity exemption form Pressing c. expostulate about the Declaration against their seditious Petition yet standing in force demand reparation for questioning their mutinous Officers and will have it against those Members of the House who had done but their duty and discharg'd their Consciences in that particular declare plainly That tho all their Grievances were duly consider'd it were nothing except those persons were censur'd calling them Men of desperate Principles Incendiaries that must not continue to be their Judges that is must not sit in Parliament and much more of this nature which in contempt they send up to the House These are they that fight for privilege of Parliament who have made a Covenant with God and Man so to do and well they perform it those they mislike must be thrust out by head and shoulders and such as remain if they be not obedient to them shall be serv'd with the same sauce And this is to make a free Parliament Was there ever a more perfidious breach of Duty did Rebellion it self ever outdo it can any Man think Yet let us go a little further with them and we shall see greater abominations than these 100. All this while they seem'd to desire only things concerning themselves tho very unfittingly and wickedly both for matter and manner yet not to meddle with any thing else concerning settling the business of the Kingdom which in many Messages and Declarations they still protested against saying as Sir Thomas Fairfax wrote up from Cambridg That whatever was suggested or suspected they would leave all such matters to the wisdom of the Parliament But now Tempora mutantur they have power in their hands and the Kingdom shall feel it the Parliament shall not only give them what they will have but do what they will have done or smart for it They make the world believe they will set the King on his Throne and in his Rights the People in their Liberties the Parliament in its Duty and a Golden Age is like to follow 101. To this end they march up in a hostile way towards London bring his Majesty along with them from Royston Sir Thomas Fairfax Cromwel Ireton and the rest of the Officers write a Letter to the Lord Mayor Aldermen and Common Council telling them That the sum of what they have desir'd of the Parliament is a satisfaction to their demands as Soldiers a reparation upon those that have improv'd advantages as they falsely say by false suggestions and misrepresentations to the destruction of the Army and endeavour'd to engage the Kingdom in a new War That the things they insist upon as English Men are a settlement of the Peace of the Kingdom and of the Liberties of the Subject which they say they have as much right to demand as their Money or other common Interest of Soldiers and that the honest People of England are full of the sense of Ruin and Misery should they disband before That for the obtaining of these things they are drawing near the City and declare That if the City appear not against them nor provoke them they will give no offence but if they do they call God to witness they are free and have wash'd off the Ruin which will befal it that they will lose all rather than not be righted of the Men they aim at therefore
full of honour and greatness was I think never heard of 165. And now the Houses fall to voting the Lords leading the way and outdoing the Commons as much as Mr. Lenthal outdid the Earl of Manchester in the Thanksgiving or Mr. Marshal did Mr. Nye in the thanksgiving Sermon They make Sir Thomas Fairfax Generalissimo Commander in chief of all the Forces in the Kingdom and Constable of the Tower otherwise signifying Mr. Oliver Cromwel of whom Sir Thomas was the shadow they thank his Excellency over again for his care of the safety of the City and Parliament Risum teneatis amici leave it wholly to him to appoint what Guards he thinks fit for their security Sed quis custodiet custodes give a months Pay for a gratuity to the Army for their many good Services which is praemium nequitiae then set up the Star Chamber the High Commission the Spanish Inquisition in one Committee of ten Lords and twenty Commoners read over but their names and you will swear it except for four of the Commoners who are very unequally yok'd sixteen against them to sit in the painted Chamber de die in diem to examine the business of the Mutiny and of forcing the Houses 166. So far the Lords lead and the Commons follow but in another Vote they go by themselves a good while that all things done by the Members since as they injuriously and falsly pretend the Speakers and other Members were driven away from the Parliament be annull'd and of no effect and declar'd to have been so at the making thereof The Commons can't agree to this but put off the debare to another time Some sense of honour there was amongst them and of the dangerous consequence of such a Vote besides the unreasonableness and injustice taking away the Authority by which those Votes were made and so exposing to question and ruin all such as were at the passing of them or had acted by them Many days debates were spent upon it but it could not be carry'd the House of Commons would be a House of Commons still and as they represent the people of England so assert their Liberties if they were left to themselves and not overaw'd by the power of the Army 167. Therefore the Agitators must to work again with an humble Address to his Excellency and some Proposals on behalf of the Kingdom and the Army First That all those that have fat at Westminster usurping a parliamentary Authority since the forcible expulsion of the Parliament may immediately be excluded the House Secondly That those Members who have adher'd to that pretended Parliament may be also excluded under a penalty if they presume to sit Thirdly That all former Votes against disaffected Members may be put in execution And this is to make a free Parliament for those Rogues to determine who shall sit who shall not and how they shall be punish'd who disobey them These Lords and Commoners deserve well of Parliament and Kingdom that ran away from the Parliament and went to the Army for this 168. Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Council of War answer presently for it is but a Song of two parts making one harmony all set by the same hand A Remonstrance is forthwith produc'd and sent to both Houses the 18 th of August a sorrowful Ditty for the poor House of Commons which tells them plainly after a long deduction of all passages just lying over the same Lies again That those Members which sat during the absence of the Speakers are guilty of the prosecution and maintenance of the said treasonable engagement and violence and therefore must not be their Judges but their adverse Party shall be theirs which is Army Justice That they might have been made Prisoners of War wherefore they protest and declare if they hereafter intrude themselves to sit in Parliament they can no longer suffer it but will take some speedy effectual course that both they and others guilty of the same practices may be brought to condign punishment 169. And they back this Remonstrance for which the Lords return a Letter of approbation and great thanks to his Excellency for his continu'd care of the honour and freedom of Parliament with a Party of a thousand Horse drawn up to Hide-Park Cromwel and Ireton making menacing Speeches in the House and Guards out of the Army besetting the doors and avenues By all which means and the terror of their surly impeaching looks as some of the Pamphleteers observe it many of the Members were driven away and the poor House forc'd the 20 th of August to pass the Ordinance for declaring all Votes Orders and Ordinances made in one or both Houses from Iuly 26 till August 6 null and void And now they are a free Parliament or as Haslerig told them the next day after the eleven Members were withdrawn a glorious Parliament in truth no Parliament but they are what Mr. Cromwel will have them to be 170. Then they lay about them impeach seven Lords of High Treason sparing only my Lord of Pembrook They proceed against some of their own Members suspend Mr. Bainton put Commissary Copley and Mr. Recorder out of the House whom they commit to the Tower for high Misdemeanours expel likewise Sir Iohn Maynard and send him to the Tower The rest of the eleven Members upon the City's delivering up it self and the Parliament to the will of the Army having sent for their Passes which the House had order'd and upon them withdrawn themselves into foreign parts the Lord Mayor and some of the Aldermen were likewise imprison'd in the Tower and charg'd with Treason And all honest Men persecuted threaten'd and therefore fled and scatter'd some one way and some another and these are the effects of a free Parliament 171. The Lieutenant of the Tower Colonel West an honest and gallant Man after he had been at charge to treat and entertain Sir Thomas Fairfax coming to take possession of his Place as Constable was by that worthy General by way of thankfulness for his good entertainment turn'd out And an Independent one Tichburn a Linen Draper put in which was done with so much insolency and scorn of the City as when his favourite Alderman Gibbs had prepar'd a long winded Speech in the name of the City who crav'd it as a Boon and Act of Grace that he would keep in the old Lieutenant he cut him off short and bid him speak no more of it Indeed it had been against his Instructions and the Maxim of his Master Cromwel and all that faction which is to suffer none in any power save such as are theirs Body and Soul and put all others out 172. So Colonel Pointz was seiz'd upon and by force fetch'd out of his Command in the North Major General Massey must not continue in his of the West Captain Patten turn'd out of his Vice Admiralship and Rainsborough put in Colonel Carne out of the Government of the Isle of Wight and Hammond
