MONARCHY MEN , the name of a Puritan See also:sect in See also:England which for a See also:time supported the See also:government of See also:Oliver See also:Cromwell in the belief that it was a preparation for the " fifth monarchy," that is for the monarchy which should succeed the See also:Assyrian, the See also:Persian, the See also:Greek and the See also:Roman, and during which See also:Christ should reign on See also:earth with His See also:saints for a thousand years. These sectaries aimed at bringing about the entire abolition of the existing See also:laws and institutions, and the substitution of a simpler See also:code based upon the See also:law of See also:Moses. Disappointed at the delay in the fulfilment of their hopes, they'soon began to agitate against the government and to vilify Cromwell; but the See also:arrest of their leaders and preachers, See also:Christopher Feake, See also:John See also:Rogers and others, cooled their ardour, and they were, perforce, content to cherish their hopes in See also:secret until after the Restoration. Then, on the 6th of See also:January 1661, a See also:band of fifth monarchy men, headed by a See also:cooper named See also:Thomas See also:Vernier, 2 For an See also:illustration of one of these See also:bass flutes see See also:article See also:FLUTE, fig. 2. 3 Syntagma musicum (See also:Wolfenbuttel, 1618), pp. 40-41 of Reprint.

Most of them were either killed or taken prisoners, and on the 19th and 21st of January Venner and ten others were executed for high See also:treason.
