“And albeit wicked and hypocritical kings, be suffered sometimes or sent from God, for the subject's sins and for our offenses, great no doubt and grievous in every estate (let none excuse themselves, let none accuse others) and that we hereby may worthly also be thought to have deserved both our princes' fall, and our own punishment, according to God's most holy commination, that when his people should cease to serve him in truth and commit wickedness, both they and their king should perish together - nevertheless, to see and know the place specially affected, and the next immediate source of all our sores , where we expect remedy and not ruin, is necessary for our recovery.” — William Allen
