And now Crom- well resolved to rule only by the sword, seeing -the people so hated his tyranny ; to which pur- pose he constituted eleven of his officers to pre- side over all the counties of England with the titles of Major-Generals, allotting four or five •counties as provinces to each, with sufficient 190 authority, not only in military affairs, but also in civil and ecclesiastical. For the support of these bashaws he made an ordinance, that all ca- valiers or gentlemen of the late King's pa...rty should (notwithstanding the late Parliament's act of oblivion, their former compositions, and their peaceable demeanour since) pay the tenth part of their yearly revenue, which was accord- ingly severely exacted by the Major- Generals. He also, the better to provide against future in- surrections, set up auxiliaries in every county, consisting of horse and foot, which were to be ready upon all occasions within an hour's warn- ing ; their pay was 8/. Per annum to a horseman and 3/. To a footman ; and, finally, that he might disenable all loyal persons from attempting any thing for their country's liberty, he put forth an ordinance to seize all sorts of arms found in the houses of those he called Malignants.
