It appears from all this that the person of the king is sacred, and that to attack him in any way is sacrilege. God has the kings anointed by his prophets with the holy unction in like manner as he has bishops and altars anointed. But even without the external application in thus being anointed, they are by their very office the representatives of the divine majesty deputed by Providence for the execution of his purposes. Accordingly God calls Cyrus his anointed. "Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him." Kings should be guarded as holy things, and whosoever neglects to protect them is worthy of death... There is something religious in the respect accorded to a prince. The service of God and the respect for kings are bound together. St. Peter unites these two duties when he says, "Fear God. Honour the king..." —Jacques-Benigne Bossuet, 1678 This form of government would have been likely to exist in the seventeenth century in a state where

A dangerous indignation results, turned not so much against their sovereign as against the lower authorities, especially if the people have been much oppressed by them. —A Foreign Traveler in Russia (early 17th c.)
