We must have needed more than hope !

This paragraph is taken from a book called : Rochdale in the beginning of the 17th century by Henry Fishwick.

Vigorous as has been Rochdale's progress in the past, we must hope that it's future be no less so, for if the time ever comes that towns like this shall fall away into decay, the day will not be far distant when England's greatness - like the glory of ancient Rome - shall have departed from her, and her former strength and power shall have become the theme of the historian and poet.
