all the apprehensions he had then upon him, he shewed a temper so careless, and so much turned to levity, that he was then diverting himself with little houshold sports, in as unconcerned a manner, as if he had made no loss, and had been in no danger at all.  He got at last out of England.  But he had been obliged to so many, who had been faithful to him, and careful of him, that he seemed afterwards to resolve to make an equal return to them all:  And finding it not easy to reward them all as they deserved, he forgot them all alike.  Most Princes seem to have this pretty deep in them; and to think that they ought never to remember past services, but that their acceptance of them is a full reward.  He, of all in our age, exerted this piece of prerogative in the amplest manner:  For he never seemed to charge his memory, or to trouble his thoughts, with the sense of any of the services that had been done him.  While he was abroad at Paris, Colen, or Brussells, he never seemed to lay any thing to heart.  He pursued all his diversions, and irregular pleasures, in a free carrier; and seemed to be as serene under the loss of a Crown, as the greatest Philosopher could have been.  Nor did he willingly hearken to any of those projects, with which he often complained that his Chancellor persecuted him.  That in which he seemed most concerned was, to find money for supporting his expence.  And it was often said, that, if Cromwell would have compounded the matter, and have given him a good round pension, that he might have been induced to resign his title to him.  During his exile he delivered himself so entirely to his pleasures, that he became incapable of application.  He spent little of his time in reading or study, and yet less in thinking.  And, in the state his affairs were then in, he accustomed himself to say to every person, and upon all occasions, that which he thought would please most:  So that words or promises went very easily from him.  And he had so ill an opinion of mankind, that he thought the great art of living and governing was, to manage all things and all persons with a depth of craft and dissimulation.  And in that few men in the world could put on the appearances of sincerity better than he could:  Under which so much artifice was usually hid, that in conclusion he could deceive none, for all were become mistrustful of him.  He had great vices, but scarce any vertues to correct them:  He had in him some vices that were less hurtful, which corrected his more hurtful ones.  He was during the active part of life given up to sloth and lewdness to such a degree, that he hated business, and could not bear the engaging in any thing that gave him much trouble, or put him under any constraint.  And, tho’ he desired to become absolute, and to overturn both our religion and our laws, yet he would neither run the risque, nor give himself the trouble, which so great a design required.  He had an appearance of gentleness in
