The clue having thus been furnished, further investigation had disclosed more.

In concert with the Anti-Oliverian movement in the Army of Scotland, and depending on that movement for help, there had been plottings in England, in which Harrison, Colonel Okey, Colonel Alured, Colonel Sexby, Adjutant-General Allen, Admiral Lawson, Major John Wildman, Lord Grey of Groby, Carew, and even Bradshaw, Hasilrig, and Henry Marten, were, or were said to be, more or less involved.

The aim seems to have been a combination of the Anabaptist Levellers with the more eminent Republicans,--the Levellers, or some of them, quite willing to combine also with the Royalists, and indeed in confidential negotiation with them.

How the scheme, or medley of schemes, would have turned out in the working, was never to be known.

It was frustrated by the arrest, in January and February, of most of the suspected.
