"In the name of God! What are we all? Men? Cowering and quivering like downtrodden serfs. The king is not England, and England is not the king! It is not the survival of the king that is at issue here. It is the survival of England. And this king, by his dishonesties, by his treasons, and by his secret treaties with foreign powers, has shown himself to be ill-fitted to govern this great nation!"
