Notes from Wikiquote

The Chronicle of the Kings of England (1821); expanded in footnote: "Shall this fellow, who came to court on a lame horse, with all his estate on a wallet behind him, trample on the King, the royal family, and the whole kingdom. Will none of all these lazy insignificant persons, whom I maintain, deliver me from this turbulent priest?" | Cf. Romans 7:24: "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
