Had I but served God as diligently as I have served the King, he would not have given me over in my grey hairs.

Thomas Wolsey

I see the matter against me how it is framed. But if I had served God as diligently as I have done the King, he would not have given me over in my grey hairs. Howbeit this is just reward that I must receive for my worldly diligence and pains that I have had to do him service, only to satisfy his vain pleasures, not regarding my godly duty.
