Note 493 — Chapter X · (continued 3)

Biogr. Brit. art. Monk. The royalists continued to entertain hopes of him, especially after Oliver's death. Clarendon Papers, iii. 393, 395, 396. In a sensible letter of Colepepper to Hyde, Sept. 20, 1658, he points out Monk as able alone to restore the king, and not absolutely averse to it, either in his principles or affections; kept hitherto by the vanity of adhering to his professions, and by his affection to Cromwell, the latter whereof is dissolved both by the jealousies he entertained of him, and by his death, etc. Id. 412.
