Danger of the Parliament. the dead Army Plot-which stirred the hearts of the Commons. They saw in the King's departure for Scotland the first act of the drama which, though they knew it not, was to end twelve months later in the raising of the standard at Nottingham. The ground which they had gained seemed to be shaking beneath their feet. The armed intervention of rude and illiterate peasants, trained to the discipline of camps and led by needy adventurers, would thrust aside the rule of men of speech and argument. In view of that risk both Houses and both parties forgot their differences. They were united as yet, as they were never again to be united till 1660, in their resolution that, as far as in them lay, there should not be a military despotism in England. No doubt the Houses over-estimated the danger, serious as it was. Tendency to over estimate it. moment of irritation, it was most unlikely that the Scottish nation would lend itself to an enterprise the results of which were certain to recoil on their own heads. The English army was, no doubt, highly discontented with the remissness with which its just claims to payment had been met; but it had already resisted two attempts to drag it into political strife, and it was likely enough that it would resist a third, even if Charles appeared in person on the scene. In truth, however, the surest protection to Parliament was in Charles himself. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. He had never convinced himself whether he really intended to use force or not. His intrigues to bring military power to bear upon his political opponents were hampered by a desire to remain within the limits of legality. He had a hankering after Leslie's pikes and muskets. He had also a hankering after Bristol's statesmanship. It was, therefore, highly probable that he would fail in making use of either. He had come on his journey to a point where two roads met, and he wished to travel along both roads at the same time. END OF THE NINTH VOLUME. Spottiswoode & Co., Printers, New-street Square, London.
