Lady Jane Grey

“The crown is not my right. It pleaseth me not. The Lady Mary is the rightful heir.”

“Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned to the same.”

“The fact, indeed, against the Queen's highness was unlawful, and the consenting thereunto by me.”

“I ground my faith upon God's word, and not upon the church.”

“I have sinned against God in that I have followed the counsel of my friends and have refused to reject the crown. But I was not the one who sought it.”

“Pray God to give you his grace to live in his fear and to die in the true Christian faith, from which I pray you, for my sake, never to swerve, neither for hope of life, nor for fear of death.”

“I pray you all, good Christian people, to bear me witness that I die a true Christian woman, and that I look to be saved by no other mean, but only by the mercy of God, in the blood of his only Son Jesus Christ.”

“Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit!”

“What shall I do? Where is it?”
