His subsequent usurpation was the effect of necessity, as well as of ambition; nor is it easy to see how the various factions could at that time have been restrained, without a mixture of military and arbitrary authority. The private deportment of Cromwell, as a son, a husband, a father, a friend, is exposed to no considerable censure, if it does not rather merit praise.
On reaching the house, M'Kay took his station, as on a former occasion, on the outside, while her ladyship advanced towards the door, within which she speedily disappeared, her admittance having been more prompt on the present visit than the former. In an instant after, Lady Rae was again in the presence of Oliver Cromwell.
He saw that they, like those whom they had vanquished, were hostile to the liberty of thought. He therefore joined the Independents, and called upon Cromwell to break the secular chain, and to save free conscience from the paw of the Presbyterian wolf.
Some village Hampden, that with dauntless breast The village tyrant of his fields withstood Some mute, inglorious Milton here may rest; Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's blood.
A.M. Col Allen brought into our room. Sep. 1. Pleasant weather. Bad water. Horrid scenes of whipping. Lewis Pintard brought some money for the officers. P.M. Major Otho H.

Cromwell said 'Amen. 'Sir, she said again; 'ye have made this King rich, but I will give to him again his power to sleep at night; ye have made this realm subject to this King, but, by the help of God, I will make it subject again to God. You have set up here a great State, but oh, the children of God do weep since ye came. Where is a town where lamentation is not heard?
And he was on the youthful side of forty, too. Edmund Ironside ought to have been born in the days of Drake, Raleigh, and Cromwell. He would have a bust in Westminster and his picture in the history books.
Every foot of Whitehall babbles its legends; you see Tyburn as our forefathers saw it, and George Fox meeting Cromwell there on his return from Ireland. In Westminster Hall he is at his best. You feel that he knew Rufus and all the masons who built that glorious fabric.
Haigh had cut loose another of the mules, and had deliberately ridden the old man down. "It's an old polo trick," said he, with a pleased grin. "Useful when a man persistently crosses you; quite simple when you know it. Good-afternoon, Mrs. Cromwell. Afternoon, Juggins, dear boy. Let me congratulate you on drawing this game. I thought we were going to gather in the beans. Eh, what's that?"
But such a work as Mr. Carlyle did for Cromwell we may confidently anticipate will never be required for the name of John Stuart Mill.
