Eusebius Andrews (Royalist)
Eusebius Andrews (died 1650) was an English royalist.
Andrews was of a good family "but inconsiderable estate" in Middlesex, was secretary to Arthur Capell, 1st Baron Capell of Hadham and a barrister (probably of Lincoln's Inn). Early in the civil war he joined the king's army; but on the surrender of Worcester in 1645, despairing of the success of his cause, he returned to the private practice of his former profession. He did not acknowledge the party in power, either by compounding for his "delinquency", or by subscription to the covenant and the tests which succeeded it.
But his course of life, however retired, could not escape the vigilance of the Puritan rulers, his actions, for years together, being as well known to the council of state "as if they had kept a diary for him". John Barnard, a major formerly under his command, was his frequent visitor, and "obtruded upon his acquaintance" two cavaliers, Captain Holmes and John Benson, a copying clerk under Rushworth who proposed to take advantage of the discontent of the dismissed parliamentary officers, and of their repentant desire to serve the young king.
== Royalist engagement ==
It was suggested that Andrews should go to Cambridgeshire, to ascertain whether an old plan of his for the surprise of the Isle of Ely were still feasible; but this project was abandoned on the failure of the royalist movements in Scotland and Ireland. An ordinance having passed that all who had not taken the prescribed tests should leave London, Andrews prepared to quit England, and was in treaty with Sir Edward Plowden for some land in New Albion, when Barnard persuaded him to remain, on pretence of a rising to be headed by "persons of quality" in Kent, Dorset and Buckinghamshire. Andrews was induced to subscribe this new royalist "engagement", and to endeavour to draw in Sir John Gell, of Hopton, who was known to be influential and disaffected. But Gell, though protesting his loyalty, was too wary to commit himself; and Andrews, finding that the whole scheme was a delusion, prepared to carry out his former resolution of leaving the country, when he was arrested at Gravesend on 24 March 1650.
