Sir Thomas Fairfax was a gentleman of no quick parts or elocution; but religious, faithful, valiant, and of a grave, sober, resolved disposi tion; neither too great nor too cunning to be directed by the Parliament.+ Oliver Cromwell was more bold and aspiring; and being a sol dier of undaunted courage and intrepidity, pro ved, at length, too powerful for his masters. The army was more at his disposal than at Fairfax's, and the wonders they wrought sprung chie?y from his counsels.
