Quotes 

• The Earl of Manchester : [to Parliament, having been accused by Cromwell of lackluster determination on the battlefield]  If we beat the king 99 times he will still be our king and we his subjects. If he beats us but once, we shall all be hanged.

• The Earl of Manchester : Much has been said in this House about the so-called inequity of certain members being financially involved in national projects. Members have ascribed to this state of affairs dark and sinister motives. I say if we in Parliament cannot gain from ruling the country there's really very little point in our being here at all.
