And Cromwell felt that he could not afford to leave that 'matter'untouched. A suspicion was prevalent, during the whole of Cromwell'sreign, that plots were manufactured to suit his purposes. He knew thatfull well; he knew also the danger of such a suspicion. The surmises ofthe 'men of wicked spirits, ' were those 'half tales, ' that 'be truths. 'It had been hoped that such a 'real plot' as 'the late Insurrection, 'would give that suspicion a quietus. When it was safely transacted, Thurloe and h...is associates congratulated each other over that hope. [60]But it was not fulfilled. Hence arises the tone of angered honesty, which Cromwell so repeatedly assumed when he addressed his Parliament, and Carlyle's indignant protest--'What a position for a hero, to bereduced continually to say he does not lie!' But what was Cromwell's motive in the fabrication of this Insurrectionof March, 1655? It was not, as might be suggested, a device to thwart bya premature explosion, a dangerous conspiracy during a critical momentin the Protectorate.
