 * Parker has been more than usually offensive in his Basilolatry (if we may coin a word), and Marvell says, “His Majesty” (it would seem) “may lay by his Dieu, and make use only of his mon droit. He hath a patent for his kingdom under the broad seal of Nature, and next under that and immediately before Christ is over all persons, and in all causes, as well ecclesiastical as civil (and over all men’s consciences) within his Majesty’s realms and dominions, supream head and governour. ‛Tis true the author sometimes, for fashion’s sake, speaks in that book of religion of a Deity; but if his principles do necessarily, if not in terms, make the prince’s power paramount, and if he may by his uncontroulable and unlimited universal authority” (the words which Parker had used) “introduce what religion he may, of consequence” (he may) “introduce what Deity he pleases.”

 * […] the fountain-head of hard logic and thorough craftsmanship, and still more in love with the original document, at a period when historical research was not only unfashionable, but inferentially abhorred; and his animus must needs have seemed ‘Popish’ or worse, when it but led him to handle as self-evident fallacies the darling predilections of centuries of British basilolatry.

 * But why Thomas Cromwell himself should have contrasted his “mean parentage” with his “high estate,” except out of sheer servility of spirit, out of what has been called basilolatry, the saving dread of the Tudors, is not apparent.

 * Liturgically, although the ‘Reformed Catholicism’ aimed at by Anglicans involved a wide-ranging ‘purification’ from excesses of the inherited Western rite, the ‘basilolatry’ or king-worship which came to disfigure the Prayer Book stands in marked contrast to the sober intercessions of the Roman liturgy of the period for both emperor and king.²⁵
