of the human species, we shall not be inclined to load his memon with such violent reproaches as those which his enemies usually throw upon it. Amidst the passions and prejudices of that period, that he should prefer the par liamentary to theroyal cause, will not appear extraordinary; since, even at present, some men of sense and knowledge are disposed to think that the question with regard to the justice of the quarrel, mav be regarded as doubtful and uncertain. The murder of the king, the most atrocious of all his actions, was to him covered under a mighty cloud of republican and fanatical illusions; and it is not impossible, but he might believe it, as many others did, tire most meritorious action that he could perform. His subse quent usurpation was the effect of necessity, as well as of ambition ; nor is it easy to see, how the various factions could at that time have been restrained, without a mixture of military and arbitrary authority. The private deport ment of Cromwell, as a son, a husband, a father, a friend, is exposed to no considerable censure, if it does not rather merit praise. And, upon the whole, his character does not appear more extraordinary and unusual by the mixture of so much absurdity with so much penetration, than by his tempering such violent ambition and such enraged fanati cism with so much regard to justice and humanity. Cromwell was in the fifty-ninth year of his age when he died. He was of a robust frame of body, and of a manly, though not of an agreeable, aspect. He left only two sons, Richard and Henrv; and three daughters, one married to General Fleetwood, another to Lord Fauconberg, a third to Lord Rich. His father died when he was very young. His mother lived till after he was protector ; and, contrary to her orders, he buried her with great pomp in West minster Abbey. She could not be persuaded that his power or person were ever in safety. At every noise which she heard, she exclaimed that her son was murdered; and was never satisfied that he was alive, if she did not receive frequent visits from him. She was a decent woman, and, by her frugality and industry, had raised and educated a numerous family upon a small fortune. She had even been obliged to set up a brewery at Huntingdon, which she managed to good advantage. Hence Cromwell, in the invectives of that age, is often stigmatized with the name of the brewer. Ludlow, by way of insult, mentions the great accession, which he would receive to his royal reve nues upon his mother’s death, who possessed a jointure of sixty pounds a year upon his estate. She was of a good family, of the name of Stuart; remotely allied, as is by some supposed, to the royal family. CHAP. LXII. Richard acknowledged protector—A parliament—Cabal of Wallingford House—Richard deposed—Long parliament or Rump restored—Con spiracy of the royalists—Insurrection—Suppressed—Parliament ex pelled—Committee of safety—Foreign affairs—General Monk—Monk declares for the Parliament—Parliament restored—Monk enters Lon don, declares for a free parliament—Secluded members restored—Long parliament dissolved—New parliament—The Restoration—Manners and Arts. A d 1658 All the arts Cromwell’s policy had been so often practised that they began to lose their effect; and his power, instead of being confirmed by time and success, seemed every day to become more unceitain and precarious. His friends the most closely connected with him, and his counsellors the most trusted, were entering into cabals against his authority ; and with all his penetration into the characters of men, he could not find any ministers on whom he could rely. Men of probity and honour, he knew, would not submit to be the instru ments of an usurpation violent and illegal: those who were free from the restraint of principle, might betray, from interest, that cause, in which, from no better motives, they had enlisted themselves. Even those on whom he conferred any favour, never deemed the recompence an equivalent for the sacrifices which they made to obtain it: whoever was refused any demand, justified his anger bv the specious colours of conscience and of duty. Such difficulties surrounded the protector, that his dying at so critical a time is esteemed by many the most fortunate cir cumstance that ever attended him; and it was thought, that all his courage and dexterity could not much longer have extended his usurped administration. But when that potent hand was removed, which con ducted the government, every one expected a sudden dis solution of the unwieldy and ill-jointed fabric. Richard, a young man of no experience, educated in the country, accustomed to a retired life, unacquainted with the officers, and unknown to them, recommended by no military ex ploits, endeared by no familiarities, could not long, it was thought, maintain that authority which his father had ac quired by so many valorous achievements, and such signal successes. And when it was observed, that he possessed only the virtues of private life, which in his situation were so many vices; that indolence, incapacity, irresolution, attended his facility and good nature; the various hopes of men were excited by the expectation of some great event or revolution. For some time, however, the public was disappointed in this opinion. The council R j charil ac . recognised the succession of Richard : Fleet- knowkdged wood, in whose favour it was supposed P rotecto ‘- Cromwell had formerly made a will, renounced all claim or pretension to the protectorship : Henry, Richard’s brother, who governed Ireland with popularity, insured him the obedience of that kingdom : Monk, whose au thority was well established in Scotland, being much attached to the family of Cromwell, immediately pro claimed the new protector : the army, every where, the fleet, acknowledged his title: above ninety addresses, from the counties and most considerable corporations, con gratulated him on his accession, in all the terms of duti ful allegiance: foreign ministers were forward in paying him the usual compliments : and Richard, whose moder ate, unambitious character never would have led him to contend for empire, was tempted to accept of so rich an inheritance, which seemed to be tendered to him by the consent of all mankind. It was found necessary to call a parlia ment, in order to furnish supplies, both for par iament - the ordinary administration, and for fulfilling those en gagements with foreign princes, particularly Sweden, into which the late protector had entered. In hopes of ob taining greater influence in elections, the ancient right was restored to all the small boroughs ; and the counties were allowed no more than their usual members. The House of Peers, or the other House, consisted of the same persons that had been appointed ' • 1 59 - by Oliver. All the Commons, at first, signed, without hesitation, an engagement not to alter the ‘ an ’ present government. They next proceeded to examine the humble petition and advice; and after great opposition and many vehement debates, it was at length, with much difficulty, carried by the court-party to confirm it. An acknowledgment too of the authority of the other House was extorted from them ; though it was resolved not to treat this House of Peers with any greater respect than they should return to the Commons. A declaration was also made, that the establishment of the other House should nowise prejudice the right of such of the ancient peers as had, from the beginning of the war, adhered to the parliament. But in all these proceedings, the opposi tion among the Commons was so considerable, and the debates were so much prolonged, that all business was retarded, and great alarm given to the partisans of the young protector. But there was another quarter from which greater dan gers w’ere justly apprehended. The most considerable officers of the army, and even Fleetwood, brother-in-law to the protector, were entering into cabals against him. No character in human society is more dangerous than that of the fanatic; because, if attended with weak judgment, he is exposed to the suggestion of others; if supported by more discernment, he is entirely governed by his own illusions, which sanctify his most selfish views and pas sions. Fleetwood was of the former species; and as he was extremely addicted to a republic, and even to the fifth monarchy, or dominion of the saints, it was easy for those, who had insinuated themselves into his confidence, to instil disgusts against the dignity of protector.
