238 THE PROTECTORATE.
CHAP, professed to be at a loss to understand the pro- v^-v^/ priety of conceding any precedence to a body which had derived its existence from themselves, the repre- sentatives of the people, and as such, the seat of all legislative power. Cromwell reasoned with them, and spoke of the confusion and disaster which must soon come on all their pett...y interests, if this spirit of determined partisanship were not put under some restraint. But he reasoned in vain. All subjects were forgotten in the zeal with which a powerful party applied themselves to discussions respecting the title and the rights that should be- long to this new senate. * At this crisis the protector had much to fear from the schemes of the royalists, and still more from the heavy arrears due to the army both in England and Ireland. There was a plan also set on foot to procure an abolition, not only of the upper house, but of the protectorate; and so boldly was it agitated by certain members of the parliament, and officers in the army, that a petition in its favour was known to be handed about in the metropolis to obtain signatures.
