If princes exceed their bounds, madam, no doubt they should be resisted even by power. There is neither greater honour nor greater obedience to be given to kings or princes than God has commanded to be given to father and mother. But, madam, the father may be stricken with a frenzy in which he would slay his own children. Now, madam, if the children arise, join themselves together, apprehend the father, take the sword or other weapons from him, and finally bind his hands and keep him in prison until his frenzy be overpassed.

Think ye, madam, that the children do any wrong? Oh, that's even so, madam, with princes that would murder the children of God that are subject unto them. To take the sword from them, to bind their hands, and to cast them into prison until they be brought to a more sober mind is no disobedience against princes, but just obedience, because it agreeth with the will of God. At these words the Queen stood as if it were amazed for more than a quarter of an hour. Her countenance altered, so the Lord James began to entreat her and to demand, What has offended you, madam?

At length she said, Well then I perceive that my subjects shall obey you, and not me, and shall do what they list, and not what I command, and so must I be subject to them. And ze notumi. So that was a real variety of accents. Yeah, extraordinary smog board of accents. Not all of them accurate, I think.
