It is easy to criticize and find fault with the conduct of kings, and write furious articles against them in newspapers, or make violent speeches about them on platforms.

We would exhibit more wisdom if we prayed for them more, and criticized less.

J. C. Ryle

When, therefore, the obligation by the law to fidelity and allegiance ceases, that by the Oath also ceases...
