The Life of John Milton, Volume 5 (of 7), 1654-1660

Note 1 — Chapter II

Reading edition

: The translation of this letter by Phillips is unusually careless. It jumbles the tenses in such a manner that the Peace between Sweden and Denmark does not seem to have yet taken place, but only to be hoped for by Cromwell. In fact, Phillips's translation robs the letter of all its meaning and interest.
