Memoirs of the life and actions of Oliver Cromwell as delivered in three panegyrics of him, written in Latin: the first, as said, by Don Juan Roderiguez de Saa Meneses, Conde de Penaguiao, the Portugal ambassador: the second, as affirmed by a certain Jesuit, the Lord ambassador's chaplain: yet both, it is thought, composed by Mr. John Milton (latin Secretary to Cromwell) as was the third. With an English version of each. The Whole illustrated with a large Historical Preface; many similar passages from the Paradise Lost & other Works of Mr. John Milton; & Notes from the best Historians. To all which is added, A Collection of divers curious Historical Pieces relating to Cromwell & a great number of other remarkable persons (after the manner of Desiderata Curiosa Vol. I. & II.) By Francis Peck, M. A. the Compiler of those Volumes. Adorned with the Heads of Essex, Fairfax, Hambden, Lady Falconberg, the Hand-Writing, Sign Manual, & medals of O. Cromwell
