Biography

Of Sidney Sussex Cambridge — the most Puritan of the Cambridge colleges. Manchester (then Viscount Mandeville) was one of the Five Members Charles I tried to arrest in January 1642. As Major-General of the Eastern Association army he won Marston Moor with Cromwell as his Lieutenant-General of Horse (July 1644), but his caution at the Second Battle of Newbury (October 1644) produced the famous quarrel with Cromwell — 'If we beat the King ninety and nine times yet he is King still…but if the King beat us once we shall be all hanged' — that triggered the Self-Denying Ordinance and the New Model. A moderate Presbyterian lay assessor at the Assembly, he withdrew at the regicide. Restored as Lord Chamberlain of the Household at the Restoration (1660). Died in 1671.

Role at the Assembly

Lay Assessor — House of Lords

Parliament seated lay assessors from both Houses to sit with the divines and represent its interest. Ten peers were named from the House of Lords as lay assessors; like the Commons assessors they had voice in the Assembly but were not voting members, and they attended as their other duties allowed.
