(No, I actually love to show off!)

Though those are Oliver Cromwell's words, they are not from a speech to his executioners. Cromwell died in bed, possibly from malaria or a UTI. The royal forces dug up his body two years later and posthumously executed him. That famous quote was directed at the Church of Scotland, asking them to reconsider their support of Charles II.

(I know those are not your words, AppalachianBlue. Of course, few Republicans will recognize the error. You had to pay attention in history class!)
