Having therefore concerted his plan with the principal officers, he came to A.*:i«wk the house with a band of soldiers, Apni ana, A.D. 1858. ^jj j^ without ceremony, commanded ^ speaker to leave the chair. He then told the members that " they had sat there long enoagfa, unless they had done more good; that some of them were whoremongers, others were drunkards, that some of them were corraptand unjust, and scandalous professors of the gospel," and ordered them to depart. The intimidated members ...immediately obey- ed; and Cromwell ordering one of bis soldiers to take away that fool's bauble, the mace, locked the door. He then published a decla- ration to justify so violent a measure. This declaration was signed by all the colonels of the army, and all the sea captains ; and as his dengns were yet concealed, his proceedings, 316 HiSTOMT 0# MNOlAyO. in regard to the parliament, met with uniTersal approbation. Cfomwell might from this moment have assumed the administration of the govern- ment ; but his design was that it should be placed in his hands by a parliament, in order to sanction his usurpation by so venerable an authority.
