At the request of one of my professors, I checked out a textbook from the library to gain a better understanding of modern British history, since 1688.
One of the first quotes that stuck with me was this:
"Good God! That we should live in such an age, when me call God to protect them in a rebellion." - Judge George Jeffreys
It was 1685.
Good, so we're not into what we consider 'modern' British history yet. That's a relief.
(Thomas William Heyck, The Peoples of the British Isles, Volume One, pp 30)
