Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell´s Letters and Speeches, Vol. 2 of 4: With Elucidations About the beginning of May 1648, the general Presbyterian-Royalist discontent announces itself by tumults in Kent, tumults at Colehester, tumults and rumours of tumult far and near; portending, on ail sides, that a new Civil War is at hand. The Scotch Army of Forty-thousand is certainly voted; certainly the King is still prisoner at Carisbrook; factious men have yet made no bargain with him: certainly there will and should be a new War? So reasons Presbyterian Royalism everywhere. Headlong discontented Wales in this matter took the lead. Wales has been full of confused discontent all Spring; this or the other confused Colonel Poyer, full of brandy and Presbyterian texts of Scripture, refusing to disband till his arrears be better paid, or indeed till the King be better treated. To whom other confused Welsh Colonels, as Colonel Powel, Major-General Laughern, join themselves. There have been tumults at Cardiff, tumults here and also there; open shooting and fighting. Drunken Colonel Poyer, a good while ago, in March last, seized Pembroke; flatly refuses to obey the Parliament´s Order when Colonel Fleming presents the same. - Poor Fleming, whom we saw some time ago soliciting promotion: he here, attempting to defeat some insurrectionary party of this Poyer´s ´at a Pass´ (name of the Pass not given), is himself defeated, forced into a Church, and killed.
