The Origin of The Name
"The 'Golden' label was first coined in "a version of the speech printed near the end of the Puritan interregnum" which bore a header beginning 'This speech ought to be set in letters of gold'." "It was to be reprinted time and time again up to the eighteenth century, whenever England was in danger, as the Golden Speech of Queen Elizabeth. Several versions survive, including a printed pamphlet which is thought to have been checked and corrected by Elizabeth herself"
