Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 7 of 8: From the Invasion Iof Julius Cæsar to the Revolution in 1688
AT the commencement of the civil war, all C H AP Englilhmen, who ferved abroad, were invited over, I! And treated with extraordinary refpeft: And molt 1544 of them, being defcended of good families, and, by reafon of their abfence, unacquainted 'with the new principles which deprefi'ed the dignity of the crown, had inlified under the royal fiandard. Bur it is oh fervable that, though the military profeflion re quires great genius, and long experience, in the principal commanders, all its fubordinate duties may be difcharged by ordinary talents, and from fuperficial practice. Citizens and country-gentle men foon became excellent officers; and the gene rals of greatefi fame and capacity happened, all of them, to fpring Up on the fide of the parliament. The courtiers and great nobility, in the other party, checked the growth of any extraordinary genius among the fubordinate officers; and every man there, as in a regular efiablifhed government, was confined to the ilarion in which his birth had placed him.
