The character given of him by Clarendon is by no means flattering, insinuating an over-weening pride and in- competence— e.(/., that he went to court but seldom "because there, only, was a greater man than himself " — that " He was willing to be thought a scholar" because of his purchase of statues and collection of medals, but " as to all parts of learning he was most illiterate " — that his dress was " very different from that of the time, such as men had only beheld in the pictures of the most considerable men, all which drew the eyes of most and the reverence of many towards him " — that he was " not much concerned for religion," nor " inclined to this or that party," but " had little other affection for the nation than as he had a share in it, in which, like the great Leviathan, he might sport hinisclf ; from which he withdrew as soon as he discerned the repose thereof was likely to be disturbed and died in Italy under the same doubtful character of religion in which he lived."
