What does Paine say is worth more than “all the crowned ruffians that ever lived”? In England a King hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which, in plain terms, is to [impoverish] the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society, and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.

A. One honest man

B. The sight of God

C.800,000 pounds of sterling
