Elizabeth I

I have been purified in the fire of tribulation.

I have been refined in the crucible of suffering.

I have been made strong by the hand of God.

I have been preserved by the grace of God.

I have been delivered by the mercy of God.

I have been blessed by the favor of God.

I have been chosen by the will of God.

I have been called by the voice of God.

I have been appointed by the hand of God.

I have been ordained by the power of God.

I have been consecrated by the spirit of God.

I have been anointed by the grace of God.

I have been crowned by the favor of God.

I have been enthroned by the will of God.

I have been established by the hand of God.

I have been upheld by the power of God.

I have been sustained by the spirit of God.

Though God hath raised me high, yet this I count the glory of my crown: that I have reigned with your loves.

I would not open windows into men's souls.

Monarchs ought to put their treasures into the sea, if so be that their subjects should be the richer.
