Clarendon, MS. History, Bk. X, p. 24 (or 570); _History_, ed. 1704, vol. iii, pp. 84-5; ed. Macray, vol. iv, pp. 305-7. The two characters of Cromwell by Clarendon were written about the same time. Though the first is from the manuscript of the History, it belongs to a section that was added in 1671, when the matter in the original History was combined with the matter in the Life. It describes Cromwell as Clarendon remembered him before he had risen to his full power. He was then in Clarendon's eyes preeminently a dissembler--'the greatest dissembler living'. The other character views him in the light of his complete achievement. It represents him, with all his wickedness, as a man of 'great parts of courage and industry and judgement'. He is a 'bad man', but a 'brave, bad man', to whose success, remarkable talents, and even some virtues, must have contributed. The recognition of his greatness was unwilling; it was all the more sincere. 'Crumwell' is Clarendon's regular spelling. Page 136, l. 22. Hampden's mother, Elizabeth Cromwell, was the sister of Cromwell's father. Page 138, l. 18. _the Modell_, i.e. the New Model Army, raised in the Spring of 1645. See C.H.

Editorial taste in 1704 transformed this sentence thus: 'In a word, as he was guilty of many Crimes against which Damnation is denounced, and for which Hell-fire is prepared, so he had some good Qualities which have caused the Memory of some Men in all Ages to be celebrated; and he will be look'd upon by Posterity as a brave wicked Man.' 37.

But it is doubtful if he was Prynne's servant; see the article in the _Dictionary of National Biography_. Lilburne's petition was presented by Cromwell on November 9, 1640, and referred to a Committee; and on May 4, 1641, the House resolved 'That the Sentence of the Star-Chamber, given against John Lilborne, is illegal, and against the Liberty of the Subject; and also, bloody, wicked, cruel, barbarous, and tyrannical' (_Journals of the House of Commons_, vol. ii, pp. 24, 134). ll. 29, 30.
