When Lambert was cashiered by Parliament, he and eight other officers of the Army conspired to wrest the power from Parliament. The badge adopted by the conspirators was a yellow tulip.
Parliament not proving willing to condemn Charles I., was _purged_ of its unruly members by Colonel Pride, (who was said to have been originally a drayman) who entered the house and drove 160 members into the streets, leaving 60 of the _faithful_ to govern the kingdom and murder their monarch.--(Imprisonment and death of King Charles I., Aungervyle Society reprint, p. 58).
Scott was one of the members of the long parliament, and with Robinson was sent to Monk to "give some check to that license of addresses and resort of malignants."--(_Clarendon's Rebellion_, vol. iii. p. 410.)
"_Don Haselrigg Kt. of y^e codled braine._"
"Haselrigg was of a rude, and stubborn nature, and of a weak understanding."--(_Clarendon's Rebellion_, vol. iii. p. 401).

Hewson, who had originally been a cobbler, became Lt.-Col. of Cromwell's Ironsides.
"_The army entring the city persuing the apprentices._"
Parliament had voted that "the militia of the city of London should be put into such hands as the army should desire.... Many thousands, apprentices and young citizens, brought petitions to parliament" in opposition. Parliament "durst not deny concurrence, the apprentices behaving themselves so insolently, that they would scarce suffer the door of the House of Commons to be shut."--(_Clarendon's Rebellion_, vol. iii. p. 36). The army assembled at Hounslow Heath, and Colonel Rainsborough having seized in the night the defences of London Bridge, "the army of horse, foot and cannon marched next day through the city."--(_Clarendon's Rebellion_, vol. iii. p. 39).
