Chap. LIX.—A. D. 1647.] CHARLES I 619 to be apprehended, he had resolved to conclude a peace, and to remedy, as far as possible, all those ills to which, from mistake rather than any bad intentions, he had him self so much contributed. The presbyterian, or the mo derate party among the Commons, found themselves con siderably weakened by his death: and the small remains of authority which still adhered to the House of Peers, were in a manner wholly extinguished x CHAP. LIX. Mutiny of the army—The king seized by Joyce—The army march against the parliament —The army subdue the parliament—The king flies to the Isle of Wight—Second civil war—Invasion from Scotland—I'he treaty of Newpoit—The civil war and invasion repressed — the king seized again by the army—The House purged—the king’s trial—and execution—and character. D , The dominion of the parliament was of '■ short duration. No sooner had they sub dued their sovereign, than their own servants rose against them, and tumbled them from their slippery throne. The sacred boundaries of the laws being once violated, nothing remained to confine the wild projects of zeal and ambition. And every successive revolution became a precedent for that which followed it. In proportion as the terror of the king’s power diminish ed, the division between independent and presbyterian became every day more apparent; and the neuters found it at last requisite to seek shelter in one or the other fac tion. Many new writs were issued for elections, in the room of members who had died, or were disqualified by adhering to the king; yet still the presbyterians retained the superiority among the Commons: and all the Peers, except Lord Say, were esteemed of that party. The in dependents, to whom the inferior sectaries adhered, predo minated in the army: and the troops of the new model were universally infected with that enthusiastic spirit. To their assistance did the independent party among the Com mons chiefly trust, in their projects for acquiring the ascendant over their antagonists. Soon after the retreat of the Scots, the presbyterians, seeing every thing reduced to obedience, began to talk of diminishing the army : and, on pretence of easing the pub lic burdens, they levelled a deadly blow at the opposite faction. They purposed to embark a strong detachment under Skippon ana Massey, for the service of Ireland : they openly declared their intention of making a great re duction of the remainder. 1 It was even imagined, that another new model of the army was projected, in order to regain to the presbyterians that superiority which they had so imprudently lost by the former. 0 The army had small inclination to the service of Ireland; a country barbarous, uncultivated, and laid waste by massacres and civil commotions ; they had less inclination to disband, and to renounce that pay, which, having earned it through fatigues and dangers, they now purposed to en joy in ease and tranquillity. And most of the officers having risen from the dregs of the people, had no other prospect, if deprived of their commission, than that of re turning to languish in their native poverty and obscurity. These motives of interest acquired additional influence, and became more dangerous to the parliament, from the religious spirit by which the army was universally actuated. Among the generality of men, educated in regular civilized societies, the sentiments of shame, duty, honour, have considerable authority, and serve to counterbalance and direct the motives derived from private advantage: but, by the predominancy of enthusiasm among the parliamen tary forces, these salutary principles lost their credit, and were regarded as mere human inventions, yea, moral in stitutions, fitter for heathens than for Christians. 0 The saint, resigned over to superior guidance, was at full liberty to gratify all his appetites, disguised under the ap pearance of pious zeal. And, besides the strange corrup tions engendered by this spirit, it eluded and loosened all x Clarendon, vol.v. p. 43. a Fourteen thousand men were only intended to be kept up ; 6000 horse, 6000 foot, and 2000 dragoons. Bates. the ties of morality, and gave entire scope, and even sanc tion, to the selfishness and ambition which naturally adhere to the human mind. The military confessors were further encouraged in dis obedience to superiors, by that spiritual pride to which a mistaken piety is so subject. They were not, they said, mere janisaries; mercenary troops enlisted for hire, and to be disposed of at the will of their paymasters. 11 • Re ligion and liberty were the motives which had excited them to arms ; and they had a superior right to see those blessings, which they had purchased with their blood, in sured to future generations. By the same title that the presbyterians, in contradistinction to the royalists, had ap propriated to themselves the epithet of godly, or the well- affected the independents did now, in contradistinction to the presbyterians, assume this magnificent appellation, and arrogate all the ascendant, which naturally belongs to it. Hearing of parties in the House of Commons, and being informed that the minority were friends to the army, the majority enemies; the troops naturally interested them selves in that dangerous distinction, and were eager to give the superiority to their partisans. Whatever hardships they underwent, though perhaps derived from inevitable necessity, were ascribed to a settled design of oppressing them, and resented as an effect of the animosity and malice of their adversaries. Notwithstanding the great revenue which accrued from taxes, assessments, sequestrations, and compositions, con siderable arrears were due to the army; and many of the private men, as well as officers, had near a twelvemonth’s jay still owiug them. The army suspected, that this de ficiency was purposely contrived, in order to oblige them to live at free quarters ; and by rendering them odious to the country, serve as a pretence for disbanding them. When they saw such members as were employed in com mittees and civil offices accumulate fortunes, they accused them of rapine and public plunder. And, as no plan was pointed out by the Commons for the payment of arrears, the soldiers dreaded, that, after they should be disbanded or embarked for Ireland, their enemies, who predominated in the two Houses, would entirely defraud them of their right, and oppress them with impunity. On this ground or pretence did the first Mutiny of the commotions begin in the army. Apetition, army, addressed to Fairfax, the general, was handed about; crav ing an indemnity, and that ratified by the king, for any illegal actions, of which, during the course of the war, the soldiers might have been guilty ; together with satisfaction in arrears, freedom from pressing, relief of widows and maimed soldiers, and pay till disbanded. 1 The Commons, aware of what combustible materials the army was com posed, were alarmed at this intelligence. Such a combina tion, they knew, if not checked in its first appearance, must be attended with the most dangerous consequences, and must soon exalt the military above the civil authority. Besides summoning some officers to answer for this attempt, they immediately voted that 1 a,c ’ the petition tended to introduce mutiny, to put conditions upon the parliament, and to obstruct the relief of Ireland; and they threatened to proceed against the promoters of it, as enemies to the state and disturbers of public peace.? This declaration, which may be deemed violent, especially as the army had some ground for complaint, produced fatal effects. The soldiers lamented that they were de prived of the privileges of Englishmen ; that they were not allowed so much as to represent their grievances; that, while petitions from Essex and other places were openly encouraged against the army, their mouths were stopped; and that they, who were the authors of liberty to the nation, were reduced, by a faction in parliament, to the most grievous servitude. In this disposition was the army found by Warwick, Dacres, Massey, and other commissioners, who were sent to make them “proposals for entering into the service of Ireland. 11 Instead of enlisting, the generality objected to the terms; demanded an indemnity ; were clamorous for b Rushwortli. vol.
