160 Vatican AssassinsChapter 10The Jesuits – 1642 - 1658The Puritan RevolutionOliver CromwellLord Protector of the British CommonwealthDefender of the Protestant Faith Assassination ofOliver CromwellWhen God wants to drill a man,And thrill a man,And skill a man,When God wants to mold a man,To play the noblest part;When He yearns with all His heartTo create so great and bold a manThat all the world shall be amazedWatch His methods, watch His ways!How He ruthlessly perfectsWhom He royally elects!How He hammers and hurts him,And with mighty blows convertsInto trial shapes of clay whichOnly God understands;While his tortured heart is cryingAnd he lifts beseeching hands!How he bends but never breaksWhen his good He undertakes;How He uses whom He chooses,And with every purpose fuses himBy every act induces himTo try His splendor out –God knows what He’s about. {1}V.
