William regarded these enactments as evidence of a lack of confidencein him. Conscious of his own magnanimous aims, of his power and hispurpose to serve England as she had not been served before, he felthurt and wounded at fetters which had not been placed upon such Kingsas Charles I. And his sons. We wonder that a man so exalted and sosuperior, did not see that it was for future England that these lawswere framed, for a time when perhaps a Prince not generous, and noble, and pure should be upo...n the throne. William was silent, grave, cold, reserved almost to sternness. He hadnone of the qualities which awaken personal enthusiasm. He was one ofthose great leaders who are worshipped from afar. Besides, it is not aneasy task to rule another's household. Benefits however great, reformshowever wise, are sure to be considered an impertinence by some. Then--there might be another "Restoration, " and wary ambitious nobles werecautiously making a record which would not unfit them for its benefitswhen it came.
