One remembers his advice from Scotland to Richard Cromwell nineteen months ago, when Richard was entering on his Protectorate.

It was to cashier boldly.

Not an officer in the Army, he had said, would have interest enough, if he were once cashiered, to draw two men after him in opposition to any existing Government.

The very soul of Monk lies in that maxim, and he had been acting on it himself.

Not only, as we have seen, had he reofficered his own army in Scotland with the utmost pains before venturing on his march into England; but, since his coming into England, he had still been discharging officers, and appointing or promoting others.
