The Wisest Fool In Christendom.

God Gives Not Kings The Stile Of Gods In Vaine, For On His Throne His Sceptre Do They Sway; And As Their Subjects Ought Them To Obey, So Kings Should Feare And Serve Their God Againe.

I Will Govern According To The Common Weal, But Not According To The Common Will.

The State Of Monarchy Is The Supremest Thing Upon Earth: For Kings Are Not Only God's Lieutenants Upon Earth, And Sit Upon God's Throne, But Even By God Himself They Are Called Gods.

I Can Make A Lord, But Only God Can Make A Gentleman.

Herein Is Not Only A Great Vanity, But A Great Contempt Of God's Good Gifts, That The Sweetness Of Man's Breath, Being A Good Gift Of God, Should Be Willfully Corrupted By This Stinking Smoke.
