Sit down.
1:25:33
This is the Seventh Commission
to inquire into the case...
1:25:36
...of Sir Thomas More, appointed
by His Majesty's Council.
1:25:39
Have you anything to say?
1:25:41
No.
1:25:45
-Seen this document before?
-Many times.
1:25:47
It is the Act of Succession.
1:25:48
These are the names
of those who have sworn to it.
1:25:51
-I have, as you say, seen it before.
-Will you swear to it?
1:25:54
No.
1:25:55
Thomas, we must know--
1:26:01
We must know plainly whether you
recognise the offspring of Queen Anne...
1:26:05
...as heirs to the throne.
1:26:07
The King in parliament
tells me that they are.
1:26:10
-Of course I recognise them.
-Will you swear to it?
1:26:12
-Yes.
-Then why won't he swear to the act?
1:26:15
Because there is more than that in the act.
1:26:18
Just so. Sir Thomas, it states in the
preamble that the King's former marriage...
1:26:23
...to the Lady Catherine was unlawful...
1:26:25
...she being his brother's widow and
the Pope having no authority to sanction it.
1:26:30
Is that what you deny?
1:26:38
Is that what you dispute?
1:26:46
Is that what you are not sure of?
1:26:55
You insult His Majesty and Council
in the person of the Lord Archbishop!
1:26:59
I insult no one.
