- "The chief cause that I fell out with the pope was this: the pope boasted that he was the head of the church, and condemned all that would not be under his power and authority;…Further, he took upon him power, rule, and authority over the Christian church, and over the Holy Scriptures, the Word of God; no man must presume to expound the Scriptures, but only he, and according to his ridiculous conceits; this was not to be endured. They who, against God’s Word, boast of the church’s authority, are mere idiots." (Martin Luther)
- "It appears from all this that the person of the king is sacred, and that to attack him in any way is sacrilege. God has the kings anointed by his prophets with the holy unction in like manner as he has bishops and altars anointed. But even without the external application in thus being anointed, they are by their very office the representatives of the divine majesty deputed by Providence for the execution of his purposes. " (Bishop Bossuet).
- "The prince need render account of his acts to no one." (Bishop Bossuet)
- "That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal;" (English Bill of Rights)
