 an end to the Little parliament, and carried a motion that its members should resign their authority back to the general from whom they had received it (, Memoirs, 1894, i. 366; Somers Tracts, vi. 274). To this he owed his appointment as a member of the council which the instrument of government established to advise the Protector. In relating the foundation of the protectorate to his friend Bulstrode Whitelocke, Wolseley wrote: ‘The present Protector is my lord-general, whose personal worth, I may say without vanity, qualifies him for the greatest monarch in the world’ (Addit. MS. 32093, f. 317). Wolseley remained a staunch Cromwellian throughout the protectorate, represented Staffordshire in the two parliaments called by Cromwell, and was one of the spokesmen of the committee which in April 1657 pressed the Protector to take the title of king (Old Parl. Hist. xxi. 81). In parliament he was not a frequent speaker, but showed his tolerance by advocating leniency in dealing with James Nayler [q. v.], and his good sense by deprecating the proposal to impose a new oath of fidelity on the nation when the second protectorate was established (, Diary, i. 89, ii. 275). Whitelocke, with whom he was intimate, describes him as one of the counsellors whom Cromwell familiarly consulted, and in whose society he ‘would lay aside his greatness’ (Memorials, iv. 221, 289; cf., Swedish Embassy, i. 65, ii. 37, 57).

In December 1657 Wolseley was appointed one of Cromwell's House of Lords. Republican pamphleteers found little to say against the appointment, except that ‘although he hath done nothing for the cause whereby to merit, yet he is counted of that worth as to be every way fit to be taken out of the parliament, to have a negative voice in the other house over such as have done most and merited highest in the cause’ (‘A Second Narrative of the Late Parliament,’ Harleian Miscellany, iii. 477).

Wolseley signed the order for proclaiming Richard Cromwell, was one of his council, and was consulted by him on the question of dissolving his unruly parliament (, Memorials, iv. 336, 343). During the troubles which followed Richard Cromwell's fall he took no part in public affairs, but succeeded in getting returned to the Convention parliament of 1660 as member for Stafford. At the Restoration Lord Mordaunt and Sir Robert Howard intervened with Charles II to procure Wolseley a free pardon, alleging services done to Howard and other distressed royalists in the late times. Mordaunt praised his abilities, and said that the king would find him a useful servant if he chose to employ him (Clarendon MSS. lxxii. 284, 9 May 1660). He obtained pardon but not employment. During the reign of Charles II Wolseley lived retired, occupying himself with gardening, of which he was very fond, and writing pamphlets. His house and gardens are described in the diary of his wife's niece, Celia Fiennes (, Through England on a Side-Saddle, 1888, pp. 89, 136, 146). His pamphlets were on ecclesiastical subjects, and the only prominent politician with whom he seems to have kept up any intimacy was the like-minded Arthur Annesley, earl of Anglesey (cf. Hist. MSS. Comm. 13th Rep. p. 262). But the Duke of Buckingham stayed at his house in 1667 when in disgrace with the court (, Continuation of Life, § 1123).

When Monmouth's rebellion took place Wolseley was arrested on suspicion, but released on 4 July 1685. James II's policy of repealing the penal laws attracted his support, and the king's electioneering agents reported in February 1688 that Wolseley had ‘declared himself right, and ready to serve his majesty in any capacity.’ He was willing to stand for the county as one of the government candidates, but doubted if his own interest was sufficient to secure his return (, Penal Laws and Test Act, 1883, p. 251). Wolseley died on 9 Oct. 1714 in the eighty-fifth year of his age, according to his epitaph, and was buried in Colwich church, Staffordshire. Two portraits of Wolseley are in the possession of the present baronet.

Wolseley was the author of the following works: 1. ‘Speech,’ urging the Protector to accept the crown (printed in ‘Monarchy Asserted,’ 1660, and reprinted in the ‘Somers Tracts,’ ed. Scott, vi. 360). 2. ‘Liberty of Conscience upon its True and Proper Grounds, asserted and vindicated,’ 1668, 4to. 3. ‘Liberty of Conscience the Magistrate's Interest,’ 1668, 4to (these two pamphlets, both anonymous, were combined in the second edition, published in 1669). 4. ‘The Unreasonableness of Atheism made manifest,’ 1669, 8vo. 5. Preface to Henry Newcome's ‘Faithful Narration of the Life of John Machin,’ 1671, 12mo. 6. ‘The Reasonableness of Scripture Belief,’ 1672, 8vo (dedicated to the Earl of Anglesey). 7. ‘The Case of Divorce and Remarriage thereupon discussed, occasioned by the late Act for the Divorce of the Lord Ross,’ 1673, 12mo. 8. ‘Justification Evangelical, or a Plain Impartial Scripture Account of God's Method in justifying a Sinner,’ 1677 (the Bodleian

 172 abstain from killing young ducks on the ground that if they do, "Rain come down, snow come down, hail come down, wind blow, blow, very much blow." The storm is sent by a "big man" who lives in the woods. Now is this Animism? I think not. What maybe called a "coincidental marvel" is explained by a myth, and Mythology need be no more than a sort of Animatism grown picturesque. When, however, a Point Barrow Esquimaux, in order to persuade the river to yield him fish, throws tobacco, not into the river but into the air, and cries out "Tuana, Tuana" (spirit), then here is full-fledged Animism. Meanwhile, whatever view be taken of the parts respectively played by Animatism, Mythology, Animism, or what not, in investing these observances with meaning and colour, my main point is that the quality of religiousness attaches to them far less in virtue of any one of these ideal constructions than in virtue of that basic feeling of Awe, which drives a man, ere he can think or theorise upon it, into personal relations with the Supernatural.

In order to establish the thesis that the attitude of Supernaturalism towards what we should call Inanimate Nature may be independent of animistic interpretations, much more is required in the way of evidence than what I have the space to bring forward here. In the case of matters so indirectly ascertainable as the first beginnings of human thought, the cumulative testimony of very numerous and varied data affords the only available substitute for crucial proof. As it is, however, I must content myself with citing but two more sets of instances bearing on this part of my subject.

The first of these may be of interest to those who have lent their attention to Mr. Lang's recent discovery of "Pure"—that is to say, Ethical—Religion in the wilds of

(b) The President should seek a prompt reconvening of the Seven- teenth Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Organization of American States for the purpose of reevaluating the compliance by the Government of National Reconstruction of Nicaragua— (1) with the commitments made by the leaders of that Govern- ment in July 1979 to the Organization of American States; and (2) with the Charter of the Organization of American States. (c) The President should vigorously seek actions by the Organiza- tion of American States that would provide for a full range of effective measures by the member states to bring about compliance by the Government of National Reconstruction of Nicaragua with those obligations, including verifiable agreements to halt the trans- fer of military equipment and to cease furnishing of military support facilities to groups seeking the violent overthrow of govern- ments of countries in Central America. (d) The President should usc all diplomatic means at his disposal to encourage the Organization of American States to seek resolution
