Killing No Murder

Killing No Murder,
a pamphlet ironically dedicated to Cromwell , ‘the true father of your country; for while you live we can call nothing ours, and it is from your death that we hope for our inheritances’; it advocates his assassination. It was written by the Leveller Edward Sexby (d. 1658 ) and printed in 1657 in Holland. The name on the title-page is that of William Allen, who had been one of Cromwell's Ironsides. See Des révolutions d'Angleterre à la révolution française: le tyrannicide et Killing No Murder ( 1973 ) by O. Lutaud .
