At the same time he was a keenobserver of passing events. His indignation was aroused by thepersecutions of Bishop Laud and his attempt to impose the Papal systemon his country. When the King, after a lapse of many years, summoned aparliament, the admiral, then Mr Blake, went up as member forBridgwater. Soon afterwards came the outbreak in Ireland, when fortythousand Protestants were murdered by the Papists, who asserted that theKing sanctioned their bloody acts. Although this might not have be...enthe case, the Parliament demanded that a fleet and army should be placedat their disposal to quell the rebels. Soon afterwards the King, leaving London, raised his standard at Northampton, and declared waragainst the Parliament and those who sided with it. Mr Blake was amongthe first gentlemen who took up arms in the south of England in defenceof the people's right, his first military achievement being the gallantdefence of Prior's Hill, Bristol. The rest of his career up to the timeof which I am speaking I have already mentioned, and I may truly saythat he had never been defeated.
