1:21:01
I couldn't get a boat.
1:21:03
What is it, Meg?
1:21:05
Father, there's a new act
going through parliament.
1:21:10
And by this act,
they're going to administer an oath...
1:21:12
...about the marriage.
1:21:15
On what compulsion is the oath?
1:21:18
-High treason.
-But what is the wording?
1:21:20
Do the words matter?
We know what it means.
1:21:22
Tell me the words.
1:21:23
An oath is made of words.
It may be possible to take it.
1:21:26
Take it?
1:21:27
And if it can be taken,
you must take it, too.
1:21:30
No!
1:21:31
Listen, Meg. God made the angels
to show him splendour.
1:21:36
As he made animals for innocence
and plants for their simplicity.
1:21:40
But Man he made to serve him wittily,
in the tangle of his mind.
1:21:45
If he suffers us to come to such a case
that there is no escaping...
1:21:49
...then we may stand to our tackle
as best we can.
1:21:51
And yes, Meg, then we can clamour
like champions, if we have the spittle for it.
1:21:56
But it's God's part, not our own,
to bring ourselves to such a pass.
1:22:00
Our natural business lies in escaping.
1:22:06
If I can take this oath, I will.
1:22:13
I would, for my sake,
you could take the oath.
1:22:14
I never took a man into the Tower
less willingly.
1:22:17
Thank you, Master Governor.
1:22:22
Thank you.
1:22:25
Sir Thomas.
