He became a memberof Parliament for Hull, joint treasurer of the navy, and afriend of Pym and Hampden; backed by Cromwell, he wasvirtually the civil leader of England from 1643 to 1653.

After Cromwell died he re-turned to public life. Charles II said to Clarendon: He iscertainly too dangerous a man to let live, if we can honestlyput him out of the way. He was arrested, convicted oftreason, and executed on Tower Hill, 14 June, 1662.Pepys speaks of his miraculous courage on that unhappyday. His portrait was engraved by Faithorne.
