Seite 32 - I am persuaded that this is a righteous judgment of God upon these barbarous wretches, who have imbrued their hands in so much innocent blood ; and that it will tend to prevent the effusion of blood for the future.

He then turned round, and prayed aloud "Lord," he said, "though I am a miserable and wretched creature, I am in covenant with Thee through grace ; and I may, I will, come to Thee, for thy people ! Thou hast made me, though very unworthy, a mean instrument to do them some good, and Thee service...

And truly I think, taking the argument of necessity, for the Government must not fall; taking the appearance of the hand of God in this thing, — 'I think' you would have been loath it should have been resigned into the hands of wicked men.
Seite 194 - I bear not witness to myself;' but that the good people of England, and you all are my witnesses. "Yea, surely! — And now this being so, — though I told you in my last speech ' that you were a free parliament,' yet I thought it was understood withal that I was the Protector, and the authority that called you !
