Of the Import of Ship-money, and his contest with Charles [I]. His defeat yet triumph. Then of the Wars, and his counsel that events should be briskly proceeded with. Of his Death. Then, generally of the man ?s good, frank, brave, liberty loving nature, no demagogue, or mere zealot, untrustable creature of impulse, but a thinking, sober man. Akin to [George] Washington. Of his fore knowledge of men. Speaking of [Oliver] Cromwell. ?ǣIf we come to avar with the King (which God forbid) that Sloven will be the greatest man in England ? Applying the subject to this and all times, the lecturer showed how good it was to refresh ourselves by the example of these men, ? that we may have faith and love to animate us.
