Cromwell outmanoeuvred Leslie and seizedPerth, and the royal forces retaliated by the invasion of England, whichended in the defeat of Worcester on September 3rd, 1651, exactly oneyear after Dunbar. The king escaped and fled to France. Scotland was now unable to resist Monk, whom Cromwell had left behindhim when he went southwards to defeat Charles at Worcester. On the 14thAugust he captured Stirling, and on the 28th the Committee of Estateswas seized at Alyth and carried off to London. There w...as no furtherattempt at opposition, and all Scotland, for the first time since thereign of Edward I, was in military occupation by English troops. Theproperty of the leading supporters of Charles II was confiscated. In1653 the General Assembly was reduced to pleading that "we were anecclesiastical synod, a spiritual court of Jesus Christ, which meddlednot with anything civil"; but their unwonted humility was of no avail tosave them. An earlier victim than the Assembly was the ScottishParliament.
