+Act V: Scene i+

p. 406 _The Tall Irishman._ Oliver Cromwell's porter, yclept Daniel,
was a giant. This fellow, through poring over mystical divinity,
lost his wits: he preached, prophesied, and raved until finally he
was incarcerated in Bedlam, where, after a while, his liberty was
allowed him. A famous item amongst his books was a large Bible
presented by Neil Gwynne. D'Urfey in his Prologue to _Sir Barnaby
Whigg_ (1681), has: 'Like Oliver's porter, but not so devout.' There
is a rare, if not unique, portrait of Daniel in the Print Room,
British Museum. The reputed portrait in Pierce Tempest's _Cryes of
the City of London_ (No. 71. Un insense pour la Religion. M. Lauron
del. P. Tempest ex.) is not that of a remarkably tall man.

p. 410 _Enter Hewson with Guards._ 5 December, 1659, Hewson did
actually suppress a rising of London prentices, two or three of whom
were killed and some score wounded. This made him very unpopular.

+Act V: Scene iia+

p. 412_ Lord Capel._ Arthur, Lord Capel, Baron Hadham, a gallant
royalist leader, was, after the surrender of Colchester,
treacherously imprisoned. He escaped, but was betrayed, and beheaded
9 March, 1649.

p. 412 _Brown Bushel._ A sea captain. Originally inclined to the
Parliament, he became a royalist. In 1643 he was taken prisoner, but
after being exchanged lived quietly and retired till 1648, when he
was seized as a deserter, and after three years captivity, tried,
and executed 29 April, 1651.

p. 413 _Earl of Holland._ Henry Rich, Earl of Holland (1590-1649),
a staunch royalist, was executed 9 March, 1649, in company with Lord
Capel and the Duke of Hamilton.

p. 413 _Judas._ The piece of plate dubb'd Judas would be gilded, cf.
Middleton's _Chaste Maid in Cheapside_, (4to, 1630), iii, 2.

_3rd Gossip._ Two great 'postle-spoons, one of them gilt.
_1st Puritan._ Sure that was Judas then with the red beard.

Red is the traditional colour of Judas' hair. cf. Dryden's lines on
Jacob Tonson the publisher:--

With two left legs and Judas-coloured hair.

p. 414 _an act, 24 June._ Cromwell's parliament passed Draconian
Acts punishing adultery, incest, fornication, with death; the two
former on the first offence, the last on the second conviction.
_Mercurius Politicus_, No. 168. Thursday, 25 August-- Thursday,
1 September, 1653 (p. 2700), records the execution of an old m
