Excerpt from What's the Matter With America: The Meaning of the Progressive Movement and the Rise of the New Party

When, on August 3oth, 1658, Cromwell was fighting his last battle with his only conqueror, death, the two characteristics of his strong, obstinate soul stood out - his fear of God and his love of the people. It is a fearful thing, he cried, to fall into the hands of the living God, and then Lord, though I am a miserable and wretched creature, I am in covenant with Thee through grace. And I may, I will, come to Thee, for Thy people. Thou hast made me, though very unworthy, a mean instrument to do them some good, and Thee service; and many of them have set too high a value upon me, though others wish and would be glad at my death. Lord, however Thou dost dispose of me, continue and go on to do good to them. Pardon such as desire to trample upon the dust of a poor worm, for they are Thy people, too. And pardon the folly of this short prayer: even for Jesus Christ's sake. And give us a good night if it be Thy pleasure. Amen.
