So an indemnity of a more comprehensive nature was proclaimed : and the bond was all the security that was demanded. Many came into the bond : though there were some among them that pretended scruples : for, it was said, peace was a word of a large extent : it might be pretended, that obeying all the laws was implied in it. Yet the far greater number submitted to this. Those who were dis- turbed with scruples were a few melancholy incon- siderable persons. In order to the disbanding the army wi...th more security, it was proposed, that a county militia should be raised, and trained for securing the public peace. The two archbishops did not like this : they said, the commons, of whom the militia must be com- posed, being generally ill affected to the church, this would be a prejudice rather than a security. But, to content them, it was concluded, that in counties that were ill affected, there should be no foot raised, and only some troops of horse. Burnet complained openly, that he saw episcopacy was to be pulled down, and that in such an extremity he could not look on, and be silent.
