9. In a word: He was one who did not make use of religion for his own private gain and interest; he had no politic design in professing godliness: his whole aim both by sea and land, both in Parliament and in private was, to be serviceable to Church and State, and in this particular he was a true Nathanael in whom there was no guile: he was a countenancer of religion in the worst times,: he appeared for God and for his cause and servants, when it was both dangerous and disgraceful in the eyes of the leading men of the Nation; he received Mr. Burroughs (that eminent Minister of Christ) into his family, and protected him for a long while, till at last he was forced to fly out of the land. He was a very special friend unto that man of God of famous memory Dr. Sibbs. To sum up all in a few lines, As it is said of Socrates (as I remember) that he was so good a man that all that knew him loved him; and if any man did not love him, it was because they did not know him. So it may be said of the Earle of Warwick: All who knew him loved him, and if any man did not love him, it was because he did not know him.
