I confess I can look for nothing 'other,' I can say no other than what a foolish Book expresseth, of one that having consulted everything, could hold to nothing; neither Fifth-Monarchy, Presbytery, nor Independency; nothing but at length concludes, He is for nothing but an "orderly confusion!" And for men that have wonderfully lost their consciences and their wits, - I speak of men going about who cannot tell what they would have, yet are willing to kindle coals to disturb others!
- Oliver Cromwell, Speech XVII
