"Amongst all other vices there is none I hate more than cruelty, both by nature and judgement, as the extremest of all vices. ... I live in an age wherein we abound with incredible examples of this vice, through the licentiousness of our civil and intestine wars; And read all ancient Stories, be they never so tragical, you shall find none to equal those, we daily see practised."
