Note 380 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
He speaks of Cromwell as “a certain man,” a “devil’s ambassador,” “the devil in the human form”. He doubts whether he will defile his pages with his name. As great highwaymen, however, murderers, parricides, and others, are named in history for everlasting ignominy, as even the devils are named in Holy Scripture, so he will name Cromwell.—Apol. ad Car. Quint.
