Page 94 - He goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; Neither turneth he back from the sword.
Page 146 - Winter difficulties of this country ; and to the endless expense of the treasure of England in prosecuting this War. It may be supposed we might have kept the Enemy from this, by interposing between him and England. Which truly I believe we might : but how to remove him out of this place, without doing what we have done, unless we had had a commanding Army on both sides of the River of Forth, is not clear to us ; or how to answer the inconveniences aforementioned, we understand not.
Page 461 - Sir, the work is very great and dangerous, therefore I desire you seriously to consider of it before you engage in it.

Page 77 - ... succeeded in this attempt, were such as saw the spirit of liberty suppressed and stifled by a general luxury and venality ; but Cromwell subdued his country, when this spirit was at its height, by a successful struggle against courtoppression ; and while it was conducted and supported by a set of the greatest geniuses for government the world ever saw embarked together in one common cause.
Page 463 - O Sir Henry Vane, Sir Henry Vane, the Lord deliver me from Sir Henry Vane.
Page 220 - ... in the human mind in such cases, no human judgment can determine — they are the wonders of history ; characters inevitably misrepresented by the vulgar, and viewed even by those who in some sense have the key to them as a mystery not fully to be comprehended, and still less explained to others. The genius which conceived the incomprehensible character of Hamlet, would alone be able to describe with intuitive truth the character of Scipio or of Cromwell.
Page 467 - Gentlemen, if you are met here as private persons, you shall not be disturbed ; but, if as a council of state, this is no place for you. And since you cannot but know what was done at the house this morning, so take notice, that the parliament is dissolved.
