Ruff and Rough - King Henry VIII

Edward Terrill:
...the Lord put it into the hearts of some in authority in this nation to cast off the ... nest of idolaters; even to cast out the monks, friars, abbots... etc...for which ruff and rough work God chose fitted rough spirits to do it; more for their own interest and concern, than aiming at God's glory. So, through man's own private ends, the wise Lord managed his own good pleasure. Witness king Henry VIII.
