It is easy for later genera- defence of tions to condemn the violence of Cromwell and his fellow regicides, and to point to the restoration of 1660 as an evidence of their lack of foresight and statesmanship. When all is said, however, there remains this to be urged that the bringing of Charles Stuart to the block has, so far as English-speaking peoples are con- cerned, for ever driven a chill of fear into the heart of tyranny, shattered the idol of the divine right of kings to govern ill, and ...animated the struggle for human liberty by the remembrance of a solemn and decisive assertion of popular sovereignty. Let the judgment of legality condemn the act as FOUNDATIONS OF DOMESTIC PEACE 211 it will : the votaries of freedom will recall the solemn deliberation with which it was compassed by earnest and God-fearing men; the long aggrandise- ment of despotism which it arrested; the infinite provocations which preceded it ; the indubitable fact that the name of Cromwell stands, and will stand, as a shining beacon of liberty.
