It's not connected to the Thomas Seymour incident. It's from an English translation from the Latin that Katherine published in 1544: "Psalms or Prayers taken out of the Holy Scripture." Susan James quotes it on page 274 of Kateryn Parr: The Making of a Queen. James notes that there was a strong theme in the book about wanting to smite one's enemies, which might have appealed to Katherine against those who resented her new royal status.

I think this quote may have been in response to the rumors that she was Protestant, but I'm not sure.
I think that when she said "they", she was referring to those who started the rumors of her being a heretic.
