That pillar of Toryism Samuel Johnson, in a benign and paternal mood, apropos of nothing took his host's niece's hand and said to her, 'My dear, I hope you are a Jacobite.' The uncle with some warmth asked his guest what he meant by such a question. 'Why, sir,' said the doctor, 'I meant no offence to your niece; I meant her a great compliment. A Jacobite, sir, believes in the divine right of kings. He that believes in the divine right of kings believes in a divinity. A Jacobite believes in the divine right of bishops. He that believes in the divine right of bishops believes in the divine authority of the Christian religion.
