Defensio Secunda
''Defension Secunda'' was a 1654 political tract by John Milton, a sequel to his ''Defensio pro Populo Anglicano''. It is a defence of the Parliamentary regime, by then controlled by Oliver Cromwell; and also defense of his own reputation against a royalist tract published under the name Salmasius in 1652, and others criticism lodged against him.
==Background==
Only a few months after Cromwell was made Lord Protector over England, Milton published a tract titled ''Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio Secunda''. The work was one of the last times that Milton discussed Cromwell's character.〔Keeble 2003 p. 134〕 It is a defence of the Parliamentary regime, controlled by Cromwell, and sought the support of a European audience.〔Wootton 1994 p. 75〕 In addition to this purpose, the work serves a reply to the attacks on his ''Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce'' by Herbert Palmer〔Wheeler 2003 p. 134〕 and attacks on his ''Defensio pro Populo Anglicano'' by Salmasius. A further anonymous pamphlet attack from the royalist side, ''Regii sanguinis clamor ad coelum'', he rebutted with an ''ad hominem'' attack on Alexander Morus, whom Milton wrongly took to be the actual author (who was in fact Pierre Du Moulin). Milton used scurrilous gossip against Morus; scholars have decided that his sources of scandal were at least reasonably accurate.〔Christopher Hill, ''Milton and the English Revolution'' (1977), p. 183.〕
However, the act of writing further strained his failing eyes, to the extent that he could no longer rely on his sight.〔Rumrich 2003 p. 154〕
