CHAPTER VII. A PURITAN COMMANDER HOW THE ESSEX MEN CAME IN THE SIEGE OF KING'S LYNN. (1643-) " When thou goest out with the host against thine enemies, keepe thee then from all wickednesse Be valiant and fight the Lord's battells. " Ttie Souldiers Pocket Bible. THE roth of August, 1643, marked a new departure in the prosecution of the War for Parliament, which now began to turn its attention to the one part of its forces whose valour had known no defeat, and to the lesson which Cromwell's succe...sses were teaching. It was not to this date that we must look for any actual enrolment of the Ironsides. They had been emerging from the ' sorrowful confusion ' of the times with every step in Cromwell's method of rejecting ' the tapsters and decayed serving men ' in favour of men having a conscience in their work. But it was the first broad recognition of the valour of a few men who were the salt of what now seemed every- where else to be a losing cause. It was, therefore, a time for heroic measures, and the act of the Earl of Manchester in stepping down from the dignified position of Speaker of the House of Lords into the thick of the campaign at such a critical juncture was one of those personal sacrifices which give a crowning touch to the heroic principle where- ever it is struggling for dear life, as it was just then in the Fens.
