were overcome by the superior conduct of Gustavus, and the superior valour of the Swedes. What remained of this hero’s life was one continued series of victory, for which he was less beholden to fortune, than to those personal endowments which he derived from nature and from industry. That rapid progress of conquest, which we so much admire in ancient history, was here renewed in modern annals; and without that cause to which in former ages it had ever been owing. Military nations were not now engaged against an undisciplined and unwarlike people; nor heroes set in opposition to cowards. The veteran troops of Ferdinand, conducted by the most cele brated generals of the age, were foiled in every encounter, and all Germany was overrun in an instant by the victo rious Swede. But by this extraordinary and unexpected success of his ally, Charles failed of the purpose for which he framed the alliance. Gustavus, elated by prosperity, began to form more extensive plans of ambition ; and in freeing Germany from the yoke of Ferdinand, he intend ed to reduce it to subjection under his own. He refused to restore the palatine to his principality, except on con ditions which would have kept him in total dependence. 11 And thus the negociation was protracted ; till the battle of Lutzen, where the Swedish monarch perished in the midst of a complete victory which he obtained over his enemies. We have carried on these transactions a few years beyond the present period, that we might not be obliged to return to them ; nor be henceforth interrupted in our account of Charles’s court and kingdoms. When we consider Charles as presiding in court and his court, as associating with his family, it ministry. j s difficult to imagine a character at once more respectable and more amiable. A kind husband, an indulgent father, a gentle master, a stedfast friend ; to all these eulogies his conduct in private life fully entitled him. As a monarch, too, in the exterior qualities, he excelled : in the essential, he was not defective. His address and manner, though perhaps inclining a little towards stateli ness and formality, in the main corresponded to his high rank, and gave grace to that reserve and gravity which were natural to him. The moderation and equity which shone forth in his temper seemed to secure him against rash and dangerous enterprises : the good sense which he dis played in his discourse and conversation, seemed to warrant his success in every reasonable undertaking. Other en dowments likewise he had attained, which, in a private gentleman, would have been highly ornamental, and which, in a great monarch, might have proved extremely useful to his people. He was possessed of at; excellent taste in all the fine arts, and the love of painting was, in some degree, his favourite passion. Learned beyond what is common in princes, he was a good judge of writing in others, and enjoyed, himself, no mean talent in composition. In any other age or nation, this monarch had been secure of a prosperous and a happy reign. But the high idea of his own authority which he had imbibed, made him incapa ble of giving way to the spirit of liberty, which began to prevail among his subjects. His politics were not sup ported by such vigour and foresight as might enable him to subdue their pretensions, and maintain his prerogative at the high pitch to which it had been raised by his prede cessors. And, above all, the spirit of enthusiasm being universally diffused, disappointed all the views of human prudence, and disturbed the operation of every motive which usually influences society. But the misfortunes arising from these causes were yet remote. Charles now enjoyed himself in the full exercise of his authority, in a social intercourse with his friends and courtiers, and in a moderate use of those pleasures which he most affected. Character of the After the death of Buckingham, who had queen. somewhat alienated Charles from the queen, she is to be considered as his chief friend and favourite. That rustic contempt of the fair sex, which James affected, and which, banishing them from his court, made it resem ble more a fair or an exchange, than the seat of a great prince, was very wide of the disposition of this monarch. But though full of complaisance to the whole sex, Charles d Franklyn, vol. i p. 415. e May, p. el. reserved all his passion for his consort, to whom he attach ed himself with unshaken fidelity and confidence. By her sense and spirit, as well as by her beauty, she justified the fondness of her husband; though it is allowed, that, being somewhat of a passionate temper, she precipitated him into hasty and imprudent measures. Her religion, likewise, to which she was much addicted, must be re garded as a great misfortune, since it augmented the jea lousy which prevailed against the court, and engaged her to procure for the catholics some indulgences which were generally distasteful to the nation.® In the former situation of the English government, when the sovereign was in a great measure independent of his subjects, the king chose his ministers either from personal favour, or from an opinion of their abilities, without any regard to their parliamentary interest or talents. It has since been the maxim of princes, wherever popular leaders encroach too much on royal authority, to confer offices on them; in expectation that they will afterwards become more careful not to diminish that power which has become their own. These politics were now embraced by Charles; a sure proof that a secret revolution had happened in the constitution, and had necessitated the prince to adopt new maxims of govemmentJ But the views of the king were at this time so repugnant to those of the puritans, that the leaders whom he gained, lost from that moment all inte rest with their party, and were even pursued as traitors with implacable hatred and resentment. This was the case with Sir Thomas Wentworth, whom the king created, first a baron, then a viscount, and lra or afterwards Earl of Strafford; made him president of the council of York, and deputy of Ireland ; and regarded him as his chief minister and counsellor. By his eminent talents and abilities, Strafford merited all the confidence which his master reposed in him : his character was stately and austere; more fitted to procure esteem than love: his fidelity to the king was unshaken ; but as he now em ployed all his counsels to support the prerogative, which he had formerly bent all his endeavours to diminish, his virtue seems not to have been entirely pure, but to have been susceptible of strong impressions from private inte rest and ambition. Sir Dudley Digges was about the same time created master of the rolls; Noy, attorney-general; Liitleton, solicitor-general. All these had likewise been parliamentary leaders; and were men eminent in their profession.? In all ecclesiastical affairs, and even in many civil, Laud, Bishop of London, had “ l ' great influence over the king. This man was virtuous, if severity of manners alone, and abstinence from pleasure, could deserve that name. He was learned, if polemical knowledge could entitle him to that praise. He was dis interested, but with unceasing industry he studied to exalt the priestly and prelatical character, which was his own. His zeal was unrelenting in the cause of religion; that is, in imposing by rigorous measures,his own tenets and pious ceremonies on the obstinate puritans, who had profanely dared to oppose him. In prosecution of his holy pur poses, he overlooked every human consideration; or, in other words, the heat and indiscretion of his temper made him neglect the views of prudence and rales of good man ners. He was in this respect happy, that all his enemies were also imagined by him the declared enemies to loyalty and true piety, and that every exercise of his auger, by that means, became in his eyes a'merit and a virtue. This was the man who acquired so great an ascendant over Charles, and who led him, by the facility of his temper, into a con duct which proved so fatal to himself and to his kingdoms. The humour of the nation ran at that time innovations in into the extreme opposite to superstition; and ,he church, it was with difficulty that the ancient ceremonies to which men had been accustomed, and which had been sanctified by the practice of the first reformers, could be retained in divine service: yet was this the time which Laud chose for the introduction of new ceremonies and observances. Besides that these were sure to displease as innovations, there lay, in the opinion of the public, another very forci ble objection against them. Laud, and the other prelates f Sir Edward Walker, p. 3”8. g Whitlocke, p. 13. May, p. 20.
