Cartwright, it is said, was so unwise as to mingle with the crowd.

Some person who saw his episcopal habit asked and received his blessing.

A bystander cried out, "Do you know who blessed you ?" "Surely," said he who had just been honoured by the benediction, "it was one of the Seven." "No," said the other "it is the Popish Bishop of Chester." "Popish dog," cried the enraged Protestant; "take your blessing back again." Such was the concourse, and such the agitation, that the Dutch Ambassador was surprised to see the day close without an insurrection.
The King had been by no means at ease.

In order that he might be ready to suppress any disturbance, he had passed the morning in reviewing several battalions of infantry in Hyde Park.

It is, however, by no means certain that his troops would have stood by him if he had needed their services.
