And after this, with joy and holy fear, and the forwardness of love, address thyself to the receiving of him, to whom, and by whom, and for whom, all faith, and all hope, and all love, in the whole catholic church, both in heaven and earth, is designed; him, whom kings and queens, and whole kingdoms, are in love with, and count it the greatest honour in the world that their crowns and sceptres are laid at his holy feet."
—'Preparation to the Holy Sacrament' by Revd. Jeremy Taylor (1613 - 1667), Chaplain in Ordinary to King Charles the Martyr
