Letter from Cromwell to the Earl of so and so in exile
A dramatic missive frames Oliver Cromwell as a past master of power and manipulation. It urges the recipient to enforce treaties with France and Spain, warning that mere pleasantries will fail. The piece then pivots to a long quotation about a political intriguer, likely Jefferys, who shifts sides, rises to prominence, and becomes Lord Chief Justice, illustrating courtly corruption and the peril it brings to England.
