	Edward Sexby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edward Sexby or Saxby (1616 - January 13, 1658) was an English Puritan soldier and Leveller in the army of Oliver Cromwell.
		Sexby secretly visited England a couple of times to create a new conspiracy.
		The authorship of the document is usually attributed to Silius Titus but cannot be confirmed because it was published under the pseudonym of William Allen.

		Sexby was a prominent speaker at the Putney Debates (October-November 1647), where he denounced the Monarchy and argued the case for democratic rights for the soldiers who had fought for Parliament.
		Sexby's regiment served under General Monck at the siege of Tantallon Castle in the spring of 1651.
		In the autumn of 1651, Sexby was employed as the Commonwealth's agent in France where he tried to negotiate an alliance with the Frondeurs, but he found that the Fronde rebellion had deteriorated into factional fighting between French noblemen with no interest in proclaiming a republic.

	Killing Noe Murder
		The title of Hyam's book is a reference to Edward Sexby's pamphlet of roughly the same name (Sexby's exact title gains the additional 'e'), published in 1657, as a defence of Sexby's own attempts to secure the removal of Oliver Cromwell.
		Sexby was a former ally of first Cromwell and then the Levellers, and in the early 1650s, perhaps the furthest left figure in the English revolution.
		People do not know Sexby's story, but if they did, it would be a cautionary tale, like that of Ramsay MacDonald, cited this last week by both Rory Bremner and the Labour Education bill rebels in criticism of Blair.

		At this juncture Sexby received from the secret committee of the State Council, consisting of Cromwell, Scott, and Whitelocke, instructions to proceed to France, and report upon conditions in that country and the sentiments of the people, in order that dangers might be avoided and an interest created.
		Edward Sexby, whom we met in a former chapter as an agitator in the Army and confidant of Lilburne, was undoubtedly a man of great abilities and extraordinary energy.
		In the summer of 1648 it was Sexby who brought Cromwell a letter from Lilburne making pacific overtures [2], and during the first years of the Commonwealth he remained in the service of the State.

		He rose to the rank of colonel, but was deprived of his commission in 1651.
		When Cromwell assumed the title of lord protector, Sexby became one of his most violent opponents, and in 1655 tried to bring together the levellers and the royalists in a combination to overturn the government.
		Compelled to fly from England, he intrigued with the Spanish government with a view to restoring Charles II., as the only feasible plan for destroying Cromwell; and he was concerned in several plots to assassinate the protector.

	Levellers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They had no centralised manifesto at all and it is hard to tell that there was a Leveller movement until 1649 when much of their support had dissipated.
		Three hundred infantrymen of Colonel John Hewson's regiment, who declared that they would not serve in Ireland until the Levellers' programme had been realised, were cashiered without arrears of pay, which was the threat that had been used to quell the mutiny at the Corkbush Field rendezvous.
		In the Bishopsgate mutiny soldiers of the regiment of Colonel Edward Whalley stationed in Bishopsgate London made demands similar to those of Hewson's regiment; they were ordered out of London.

		The Levellers were an informal alliance of pamphleteers and army agitators who emerged during the upsurge of political and religious freethinking unleashed by the conflict between Parliament and king in the 1640s.
		The most prominent Levellers were John Lilburne, Richard Overton, William Walwyn, John Wildman, Edward Sexby and Colonel Thomas Rainborough.
		By the end of the first civil war in 1646 their ideas had come to dominate the thinking of soldiers and officers in the all-powerful New Model Army, and the Levellers briefly held the balance of political power.

		The second part looks at five special aspects of the revolution: the supporters of the assasin of the Duke of Buckingham, the praxis of the New Model Army, a female prophet named Anna Trapnel, a supporter of tyrannicide named Edward Sexby, and Gerrard Winstanely and the Diggers.
		Meanwhile the relationship between the anti-Buckinghamites, the Agitators, Trapnel, Sexby and Winstanley and the larger population is never made clear.
		The chapter on Sexby is actually more nuanced, agreeing that Sexby's anti-Cromwellian pamphlet, Killing no Murder, is still within the Protestant theory of anti-tyrannical writing.

		Of course, as in any psychoanalytic study, the stance of the present study is psychological rather than moral: its point is to explain political assassination, not to judge it.
