To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Cromwell concluded tosweep away the old monarchy, and reign himself instead; and theexecution of the King was one of his war measures. It was the penaltyCharles paid for making war on his subjects, instead of ruling themaccording to the laws. His fate was hard and sad; we feel morecompassion than indignation. In our times he would have been permittedto run away; but those stern and angry old revolutionists demandedhis blood.
For this cruel or necessary act Cromwell is responsible more than anym
...an in England, since he could have prevented it if he pleased. He ruledthe army, which ruled the Parliament. It was not the nation, or therepresentatives of the nation, who decreed the execution of Charles. Itwas the army and the purged Parliament, composed chiefly ofIndependents, who wanted the subversion of the monarchy itself. Technically, Charles was tried by the Parliament, or the judgesappointed by them; really, Cromwell was at the bottom of the affair, asmuch as John Calvin was responsible for the burning of Servetus, letpartisans say what they please.
