It led them to suppose that they could safely exercise all the arbitrary powers of the Long Parliament, and at the same time pointed them out as the successors, with all the old inadequacy, of that unpopular body.

However, a Parliament they styled themselves, and we may as well style them henceforth, in accordance with custom, the "Little Parliament.
