self‐denying ordinance, 1645. Growing dissatisfaction in Parliament with the inability of Essex and Manchester to finish the Civil War led to a proposal, late in 1644, for a self‐denying ordinance, whereby members of both Houses of Parliament could no longer hold commissions. Brought forward again in 1645 after more royalist successes, it passed on 3 April. Essex, Manchester, and Waller resigned, clearing out the old guard, and paving the way for the New Model Army under Sir Thomas Fairfax. Cromwell was given special exemption from the ordinance.
