[73] Speaker of the Long Parliament.
[74] Harry Marten, member for Berkshire, a man of equivocal private character. In the heat of the civil wars he had been committed to the Tower for a short time by the Parliament, for speaking too openly against the person of the King. When he attempted to speak against the violent dissolution of the Long Parliament by Cromwell, the latter reproached him with the licentiousness of his life.—T. W.
[75] William Lord Monson, Viscount Castlemaine, was member for Ryegate. He was degraded from his honours at the Restoration, and was condemned to be drawn on a sledge with a rope round his neck from the Tower to Tyburn, and back again, and to be imprisoned there for life. It appears, by the satirical tracts of the day, that he was chiefly famous for being beaten by his wife.—T. W.
[76] Sir Arthur Haselrigge, member for Leicestershire.
[77] Noise or disturbance.
[78] Dr John Hewit, an episcopal clergyman, executed for high treason in 1658, for having held an active correspondence with the Royalists abroad, and having zealously contributed to the insurrection headed by Penruddock.
[79] John Lowry, member for Cambridge.
[80] Sir Edmund Prideaux, Bart., member for Lyme Regis. He was Cromwell’s Attorney-General.
[81] Oliver St John, member for Totness, and Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.
[82] John Wilde, one of the members for Worcestershire. In Cromwell’s last Parliament he represented Droitwich, and was made by the Protector “Lord Chief Baron of the Public Exchequer.”
