Following the [[Stuart Restoration]] in May 1660, Harrison was the first person to be found guilty of regicide and then [[hanged, drawn and quartered]] on 13 October. One reason was his justification of violent action against "un-Godly rulers", which meant he was viewed as an ongoing threat to the re-established order. This seemed confirmed on 6 January 1661, when Venner tried to incite a popular uprising to capture London in the name of "King Jesus", with fifty followers based in [[Liberty of Norton Folgate|Norton Folgate]].{{sfn|Sheppard|1957|pp=15-20}}

Most were killed or taken prisoner, with Venner and ten others executed for [[high treason]] on 19 and 21 January, while its failure led to the suppression of Non-conformist sects, culminating in the [[Act of Uniformity 1662]]. Although the [[Great Plague of London]] and the [[Great Fire of London]] briefly revived belief in the end of a world ruled by carnal human beings, Fifth Monarchy ceased to exist as a separate sect, although some doctrines were absorbed by Baptists and others who believed "God's Kingdom" could be achieved through spiritual means.{{sfn|Birch|2018|p=32}}
