 to Portmouth, in order for tranportation, but giving ecurity to behave himelf quietly for the future, was uffered to return: after which he ettled at Eltham in Kent, and joining the Quakers, preached among that ect there, and ometimes at Woolwich and the places adjacent, ’till his death, which happened at Eltham, Augut 29th 1657, in the thirty-ninth year of his age. Two days after, his corps was conveyed to a houe called the Mouth near Aldergate in London, at that time the uual meeting place of the Quakers. Here it was warmly debated whether his coffin hould be covered with a heare cloth, which being carried in the negative, it was conveyed without one to the then new burial-place in Moor-Fields, near the place now called Old Bedlam, and interred there, four thouand perons attending the burial. The character given by Mr Wood of our author, appears from his hitory to be very jut, That ‘he was from his youth much addicted to contention, novelties, oppoition of government, and to violent and bitter expreions; that growing up, he became for a time the idol of the factious people, being naturally a great trouble-world in all the variety of governments. That he grew to be a hodge-podge of religion, the chief ring-leader of the Levellers, a great propoal maker and modeller of tate, and publiher of everal editious pamphlets.’ But the remark upon him, attributed by this writer to Judge Jenkins, as poken in a reproachful way, we are informed by Mr Ruhworth, was aid in Mr Lilburne’s favour by his friend Sir Henry Martin: That if there were none living but him, John would be againt Lilburne, and Lilburne againt John. Lord Clarendon, who judged our author not unworthy of a place in a hitory of the civil wars, having oberved that he was a peron of much more coniderable importance than Wildman, and that Cromwell found it abolutely neceary to his own dignity effectually to cruh him, concludes his account of him in the following terms. ‘This intance of a peron not otherwie coniderable is thought pertinent to be inerted, as an evidence of the temper of the nation, and how far the pirits at that time [1653] were from paying a ubmiion to that power, when no body had the courage to lift up their hands againt it.’ We have taken notice in the coure of this memoir, that our author likewie complains heavily of this cowardlines in general, and particularly of his party on that very account. Indeed one main deign in enlarging upon this article, was to produce a large variety of intances, which may erve as a commentary to the Hitory of the Rebellion, the plan of which would not admit of being o particular. Another principal end herein, has been to give a eries of proofs not commonly known, of the infinite guile and ubtlety of Cromwell, which, joined to an enthuiatic confidence that he hould always accomplih his deigns in every intance, carried that arch-diembler at length through a ea of difficulties, into the full poeion of a depotic upremacy.
