All Governments rest mainly on public opinion, and to that of his own subjects every wise Sovereign will look. The opinion of his subjects will force a Sovereign to do his duty, and by that opinion will he be exalted or depressed in the politics of the world.-Lord Kenyon, Trial of John Vint and others (1799), 27 How. St. Tr. 640.
We do not identify the will of any sovereign with the will of God, . . . "All power is ordained of God." I realize that when Paul wrote this, Nero was in power . . . Nevertheless, I will not subscribe to any interpretation that would oblige us to be obedient to the villain who holds a dagger under our nose, or to hail today as a power ordained of God the crowned robber who yesterday banished our legitimate prince. --Groen van Prinsterer, 1845
