Cromwell, and least capable of any proper notions of liberty, ^' continued to entertain. In the ascent of this bold usurper to greatness, he had sue- ^.eaiui""" cessively employed and thrown away several of the power- ful factions who distracted the nation. He had encouraged the levellers and persecuted them ; he... had flattered the long parliament and betrayed it ; he had made use of the sectaries to crush the commonwealth ; he had spurned the sectaries in his last advance to power. These, with the royalists and the presbyterians, forming in effect the whole people, though too disunited for such a coalition as must have overthrown him, were the perpetual, irreconcilable enemies of his ad- ministration. Master of his army, which he well knew how to manage, surrounded by a few deep and experienced coun- sellors, furnished by his spies with the completest intelli- gence of all designs against him, he had no great cause of alarm from open resistance.
