Lambert, though condemned, was reprieved at the bar; and the judges declared, that if Vane's behavior had been equally dutiful and submissive, he would have experienced like lenity in the king.

Lambert survived his condemnation near thirty years.

He was confined to the Isle of Guernsey, where he lived contented, forgetting all his past schemes of greatness, and entirely forgotten by the nation.

He died a Roman Catholic.
However odious Vane and Lambert were to the Presbyterians, that party had no leisure to rejoice at their condemnation.

The fatal St.
Bartholomew approached; the day when the clergy were obliged, by the late law, either to relinquish their livings, or to sign the articles required of them.
