Messages of thanks were sent to him again and again, and on the 16th of January it was resolved to bestow on him and his heirs L1000 a year.

But there were thanks as well to Admiral Lawson, Whetham, and Fairfax; to Hasilrig, Scott, Neville, Morley, Walton, and the other members of the Council of State who had laboured for the good old cause in the interim; and to Sir Hardress Waller, Sir Charles Coote, and Colonel Theophilus Jones, for what they had done in Ireland.

In the censure of delinquents there was nothing very revengeful.

The Committee of Safety was styled "the late pretended Committee of Safety," and all their doings were voted null; but an indemnity for life and estate was assured to the men themselves, and to all officers who had acted under them, on condition of present submission.

This indemnity was not so complete but that a few of the late chief's might expect some punishment.
