Were I Not A King,

It Is Atheism And Blasphemy To Dispute What God Can Do: Good Christians Content Themselves With His Will Revealed In His Word.

God Has Power To Create, Or Destroy, Make, Or Unmake At His Pleasure, To Give Life, Or Send Death, To Judge All, And To Be Judged Nor Accountable To None: To Raise Low Things, And To Make High Things Low At His Pleasure, And To God Are Both Soul And Body Due. And The Like Power Have Kings; They Make And Unmake Their Subjects: They Have Power Of Raising, And Casting Down: Of Life, And Of Death: Judges Over All Their Subjects, And In All Causes, And Yet Accountable To None But God Only.

That Which We Call Wit Consists Much In Quickness And Tricks, And Is So Full Of Lightness That It Seldom Goes With Judgment And Solidity; But When They Do Meet, It Is Commonly In An Honest Man.

I Acknowledge The Roman Church To Be Our Mother Church, Although Defiled With Some Infirmities And Corruptions...let [the Papists] Assure Themselves, That, As I Am A Friend Of Their Persons, If They Be Good Subjects, So Am I A Vowed Enemy, And Do Denounce Mortal War To Their Errors.

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.
