I Had Rather Have A Plain, Russet-coated Captain, That Knows What He Fights For, And Loves What He Knows, Than That Which You Call A Gentle-man And Is Nothing Else.

We Study The Glory Of God, And The Honour And Liberty Of Parliament, For Which We Unanimously Fight, Without Seeking Our Own Interests... I Profess I Could Never Satisfy Myself On The Justness Of This War, But From The Authority Of The Parliament To Maintain Itself In Its Rights; And In This Cause I Hope To Prove Myself An Honest Man And Single-hearted.

If Any Man Whatsoever Hath Carried On The Design Of Deposing The King And Disinheriting His Posterity; Or If Any Man Hath Yet Such A Design He Should Be The Greatest Traitor And Rebel In The World; But, Since The Providence Of God Hath Cast This Upon Us, I Cannot But Submit To Providence.

The People Would Be Just As Noisy If They Were Going To See Me Hanged.

Mr. Lely, I Desire You Would Use All Your Skill To Paint My Picture Truly Like Me, And Not Flatter Me At All; But Remark All These Roughnesses, Pimples, Warts, And Everything As You See Me, Otherwise I Will Never Pay A Farthing For It.
