Had he not fallen out with cromwell, it is entirely possible that the british commonwealth would have survived. The few extremest members of the rump who tried to get in were mosly defeated. Arthur hazelrig had gone into terminal depression and begged monk to allow him to retire peacefully from public life. But good to his word, monk arranged for the old parliamentarian's life to be spared.
