1 The Pioneers marched before or with the army with spades, etc., to clear the way or dig entrenchments. Fortescue (History of the British Army, I, p. 219) says they were in the seventeenth century the scum of the army, and degradation to be an abject pioneer was the regular punishment for hardened offenders.

2 In the early part of the Civil War, Massey played an important part in the campaign in the West. In Oct., 1646, his troops were disbanded by order of the House. He was a staunch Presbyterian and one of the leaders of the city against the army. In June, 1647, he was impeached for designing to raise a new civil war, and fled to Holland. In 1649 he took service under the king.

3 Given the command of the army of the Eastern Association by Parliament in 1643. He did useful service early in the war, but soon became fatally lethargic and half-hearted in its prosecution. Cromwell accused him before the House of neglect and incompetence, and in April, 1645, the day before the passing of the Self Denying Ordinance (forbidding members of either House to serve in the army), he resigned his commission.
