it was petitioned that, for the Legislative, there should be, in addition to the Popular or Representative House, "a select Senate, co-ordinate in power." Article XIV.

required also, for the Executive; a separate Council of State.

Article XV.

concerned the Cromwell family.

It did not demand a continuation of the Protectorate, but It demanded the payment by the State of all debts contracted by Oliver or Richard in their Protectorates, the settlement of L10,000 a year on Richard and his heirs for ever, the settlement of a farther L10,000 a year on Richard for his life, and the settlement of L8,000 a year for life on "his honourable mother," the Protectress-dowager,--all this to the end that there might remain to posterity "a mark of the high esteem this nation hath of the good service done by his father, our ever-renowned General." The House was not then prepared to answer the demands of Articles XIII.
and XV., but only that of Article XIV.
