The puritanism of twenty years was thrown off at once. There was nothing to be heard or seen far or near but sights and sounds of revelry and delight. The king, whose great qualifications were mirth and jollity, was as happy as the merriest of his followers.
Cavaliers came out from' their retirement, swearing and drinking, as if to make up for lost time. Clergymen who had been hiding in obscure nooks came again into their pulpits to.
hold forth on the punishmrnt due to rebellion, and the divine... right of kings. *01d squires who had lost their estates be- sieged the king for restitution and reward. Charles was pro- JAMES THE SECOND. 14:9 bably ignorant of what restitution meant, as it is certsdn he never restored anything he had once got; and he thought nobody entitled to reward for merely doing his duty— for losing house and lands for his father, or a leg or arm for him- self. So there soon began the murmurings of discontent.
