The Choice to be Made
Exodus 32:26
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come to me…


Guizot, in his life of St. Louis of France, says that the latter had many vassals who were also vassals of the King of England, and that many subtle and difficult questions arose as to the extent of the service which they owed to these kings. At length the French king commanded all those nobles who held lands in English territory to appear before him, and then he said to them: "As it is impossible for any man living in my kingdom and having possessions in England rightly to serve two masters, you must either attach yourselves altogether to me or inseparably to the King of England." After saying this, he gave them a certain day by which to make their choice.
