1:27:01
I will not take the oath.
I will not tell you why I will not.
1:27:04
-Then your reasons must be treasonable!
-Not "must be," may be.
1:27:08
It's a fair assumption!
1:27:10
The law requires more than an assumption,
the law requires a fact.
1:27:13
Of course, I cannot judge
your legal standing in the case...
1:27:17
...but until I know the ground
of your objections...
1:27:19
...I can only guess
your spiritual standing, too.
1:27:24
If you're willing to guess that, it should be
small matter to guess my objections.
1:27:27
Then you do have objections to the act?
1:27:29
Well, we know that, Cromwell!
1:27:31
No, my lord, you don't.
1:27:33
You may suppose I have objections,
all you know is that I will not swear to it...
1:27:37
...for which you cannot lawfully
harm me further.
1:27:40
But if you were right in supposing me
to have objections, and right again...
1:27:44
...in supposing my objections
to be treasonable...
1:27:47
...the law would let you cut my head off.
1:27:51
Oh, yes.
1:27:54
Well done, Sir Thomas.
1:27:56
I've been trying to make that clear
to His Grace for some time.
1:28:00
Oh, confound all this! I'm not a scholar.
1:28:02
I don't know if the marriage
was lawful or not...
1:28:04
...but damn it, Thomas,
look at these names.
1:28:07
Why can't you do as I did,
and come with us, for fellowship?
1:28:11
And when we die, and you are sent
to heaven for doing your conscience...
1:28:15
...and I am sent to hell for not doing mine,
will you come with me, for fellowship?
1:28:21
So, those of us whose names are there,
are damned, Sir Thomas?
1:28:24
I have no window to look into
another man's conscience.
1:28:27
I condemn no one.
1:28:29
-Then the matter is capable of question?
-Certainly.
1:28:31
But that you owe obedience to the King
is not capable of question.
1:28:34
So weigh a doubt against a certainty
and sign.
1:28:40
Some men think the earth is round,
others think it flat.
1:28:45
It is a matter capable of question.
1:28:49
But if it is flat,
will the King's command make it round?
1:28:53
And if it is round,
will the King's command flatten it?
1:28:57
No, I will not sign.
