WOLSELEY, F. M. Royal Hospital, Dublin, a6//& Ju/y, 1894. INTRODUCTION. rJVO hundred and fifty years ago England was convulfed by the Qreat Civil War. The fetting tip of the King's flandard at Nottingham on the 22nd of Augufl, 1642, had rendered inevitable the flruggle between Charles and his Parliament, and the Parliamentary army — at firfi little better than an undifciplined mob — had taken the field under the command of the Earl of EJfex as "Lord Qeneral for King and Parliament." Effex was inaSlive, but Oliver Crom well, who had accepted a commijjion as captain in a cavalry regiment, was not flow in grafping the danger of the fituation. " Your troops" faid he to fohn Hampden, "are mofi of them old decayed ferving-men, and tapflers, and fuch kind of fellows ; and their troops are gentlemen' s fons, younger fons, and perfons of quality. Do you think that thefpirits of fuch bafe and mean fellows will ever be able to encounter gentle men, that have honour, and courage, and refolution in them ? You mufl get men ofafpirit; and take it not ill what I fay — / know you will not — ofafpirit that is likely to go on as far as gentlemen Will go, or elfe you will be beaten flill." Hampden approved, but thought the idea impra£licable. " Truly, ' ' faid Crom well, when alluding fome years later to this interview, " I told him I could do fomewhat in it. I didfo. . . . The refult was I raifed fuch men as had the fear of Qod before them, as made fome confcience of what tjiey did" Cromwell foon became the foul of the Eaflern Affociation, and kept the war wholly out of its borders, whil/i elfewhere the Parliaments affairs looked everyivhere declining. He got together from among the fiurdy farmers and freeholders of the fens of Lincolnfhire a body of men, who, as Carlyle fays, had the fear of Qod, but knew no other fear. A mong his own " Invincibles " not a man fwore but he paid his twelvepence ; no plundering, no drinking, dif order, or impiety allowed. Tradition has long ajjerted that every foldier in Cromwell's army was provided with a pocket Bible, and many have been the conj'eSlures as to the edition which was fo ufed. Again and again it has been ftated that thefmallefl of the Bibles printed by fohn Field, in 1653, and feveral times reprinted both in London and in Holland, was the edition appropriated to this fervice. Due regard to the fequence of events ought long fince to have difpofed of this popular error. The King was executed on the loth of fanuary, 1649, ^'^^ ^'^^ Battle of Worcefler, the " crowning mercy," as Cromwell, in a letter to Speaker Lenthall,fiyled his viSlory, was won on the "i^rd of September, 1651. The difcovery of the real "Soldier's Pocket Bible " is due to the late Mr. Qeorge Livermore, of Cambridge- port, Maffachufetts. In May, 1854, at the Annual Meeting of the Maffachufetts Bible Society, Qovernor Wafhburn referred in the following terms to the influence of the Bible upon CromwelVs foldiers : " In the army every man had a Bible in his knapfack, and daily read it, and fang the praifes of Qod; and the refult was the like of what has been feen in the hifiory of Puritanifm." Mr. Livermore, in the " Cambridge Chronicle" of fune 20th, 1854, quoted thefe words, and obferved that they were fub- flantially correSl, but not literally fo, and that if Cromwell s foldiers carried the Bible in their knap- facks, it was not the whole Bible, but the " Soldier's Pocket Bible" which conftfled of appropriate quota tions from the Scriptures, printed in pocket form, and which was generally buttoned between the coat and waijicoat, next to the heart, proving, perhaps, fometimes a defence from the weapons of the enemies of their bodies, as well as from the wicked one who fought to fubdue their fouls. Two copies only of this remarkable work are known to have efcaped the ravages of time. One of thefe is in the wonderful colleSlion of pamphlets formed during the progrefs of the Civil War by Qeorge Thomafon, a bookfeller in London, and fubfequently purchafed and prefented to the Britifh Mufeum by King Qeorge the Third. The other copy is flill in the United States of America. It is a fmall oSlavo of fixteen pages, inclufive of the titlepage ; it bears the " impri matur " of Edmund Calamy, the eminent nonjuror, who is faid, by Echard, to have a6led as an army chaplain : the accuracy of this flatement has been denied, but whatever the truth may be, it is certain that Calamy miniflered continuoufly in his own church of St. Mary Aldermanbury from his eleSlion in 1639 until his ejeSlion in 1662. Thomafon has noted on his copy the date of "Aug. 3, 1643," which may be affumed to be that of the publication of the work. The paffages of Scripture are from the Qenevan Verfion, which was then in ufe among the Puritans and Independents, and, with two exceptions only, are taken out of the Old Teflament. The texts feleSled are thofe which refer to battle and vi6lory, as though intended to nerve the foldier for the confliSl. Neverthelefs, as was well remarked by the late Mr. Francis Fry, the work is "a poor and artful fubftitute, indeed, for that Book in which we read : ' Love your enemies^ ' Do good to them that hate you,' etc, though, no doubt, better fuited to the purpofe of Cromwell!' Fifty years after its firfi iffue, and during the war with France, the " Soldier s Pocket Bible " was re- publifhed under the following title : " The Chrifiian Soldier's Penny Bible. Shewing from the Holy Scriptures the Soldiers Duty and Encouragement. Being a Brief Colleflion of Pertinent Scriptures 5 under XX Heads, fit for the Soldier's or Seaman's Pocket, when he is not furniflid with, or cannot well carry a larger Volume, in time of War. London. Printed by R. Smith, for Sam. Wade, under the Piazza of the Royal Exchange in Corn- hil, and Sold by him, and Rich. Baldwin, near the Oxford-Arms in Warwick-Lane. 1693." The quotations are in this edition altered in accordance with the language of the fo-called Author ized Verfion, which had by this time fuperfeded the Genevan and Bifhops' Verfions. Like the earlier edition it confifis of eight leaves, with fourteen pages of matter, but the two firfi pages and half of the lafi page are filled with additional texts, with the head ings : "I. The Chrifiian Soldier's chief aim fhould be to do his King and Country Service, in procuring or preferving the Peace of it" " II. The foldier fhould obferve the Command of the Lord of Hofis, and acknowledge his Authority in Obeying his Superior;" and " XX. The Chrifiian Soldier fhould fo manage all his temporal warfare {for his King and Country') that he may fucceed well in his Spirit ual Warfare, and enjoy Peace with Qod Eternally." The only copy known to be extant was formerly in the poffeffion of Mr. Francis Fry, from whom it was purchafed by the Trufieesofthe Britifh Mufeum.
