God and his angels guard your sacred throne,
And make you long become it!

-Archbishop of Canterbury

King Henry The Fifth                        Act I, scene ii, line 8

Here is a fairly short consideration for the day. This is the Archbishop’s greeting to the king. Pure and simple. The archbishop has just entered the room and, no, he can’t just say ‘hello your highness’. He’s got to say this. It seems a bit overly obsequious, doesn’t it? 

I'm pretty sure God and his angels are in this picture somewhere.
