From this time, dui-ing a long succession of years, the desti- nies of England, as far as they were committed to the operation of second causes, ai'e mainly beheld in the career of Cromwell. Under the direction, secret or aclmow- ledgcd, of that extraordinary person, the reconstruction of the army was completed, without mutinies, and almost mthout discontents among the soldiery -. wherever any such occurred, his acti\ity and decision were effectual to repress them. The stern sobriety, or solemn... religious fervom", of that officer's own regiments ; their familiar association of the bible and the sword ; theii- steady use of the one, and their licentious handling of the other, became the common pattern for the regenerated forces of the parliament. Each man could contend, in diseom'sc, for his own views in religion ; every one was ready to conquer or die, in battle, for the common cause. Still, the utmost skiU and vigUance could not altogether prevent the weakness and uncertainty incident to such a military revolution as the New Model.
