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 Roderigurez de Saa Meneses, Conde de Penagiuino, 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 member 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 handwriting, sign manual, & medals of O. Cromwell
