[Footnote 29: It was thus that Oliver Cromwell's old
acquaintance, who remembered his vulgar and ungracious
entrance into the House of Commons, were astonished at the
ease and majesty of the protector on his throne, (See
Harris's Life of Cromwell, p. 27 - 34, from Clarendon
Warwick, Whitelocke, Waller, &c.) The consciousness of merit
and power will sometimes elevate the manners to the
station.]
