Sheesh, it’s always someone who hasn’t read the play that uses that quote in that manner. The actual line from Henry VI is spoken by Dick the butcher, a character no one remembers, but who utters one of the few memorable lines from the entire three-part Henry the Sixth cycle. Dick’s Utopian idea to kill all England’s lawyers is his addition to the promises of the traitorous Jack Cade, who envisions a quasi-communistic social revolution, with himself installed as autocrat.
So if you think following a suggestion by the assistant to a criminal and a traitor is a good idea, keep spouting it and let everyone know what you are.
