Democracy, Mr. Cromwell,
was a Greek drollery...
:28:05
...based on the foolish notion that
there are extraordinary possibilities...
:28:09
...in very ordinary people.
:28:12
lt is the ordinary people who would
most readily lay down their lives...
:28:16
...in defence of your realm.
:28:18
lt is simply that being ordinary...
:28:22
...they would prefer
to be asked and not told.
:28:27
You know, as l do, that the Scots rebels
are invading this land and not an...
:28:32
...English sword is raised against them.
l beg you, therefore, let us bury...
:28:36
...our differences in defence
of both our church and kingdom.
:28:40
The Scots invade our land and
all is urgency and alarm.
:28:47
ln the past 1 2 months our lrish
colonists have been slaughtered...
:28:51
...our churches desecrated,
our clergy persecuted.
:28:55
The Crown has been reluctant...
:28:57
...to defend our church and kingdom
over there, sir.
:29:00
By my guard, l would as soon take
up arms against Rome...
:29:04
...than against the Scots.
:29:06
Would you have me declare war...
:29:08
...on the entire
Catholic world, Mr. Cromwell?
:29:11
lt is your duty
to defend our church, sir.
:29:15
We are speaking now
of a matter of international policy.
:29:22
ls Your Majesty sure that it"s not a
matter of domestic expediency?
:29:29
l would remind you that
you are addressing your king.
:29:32
Mr. Cromwell, you are impertinent.
:29:38
Such issues are beyond
good manners, sir.
:29:44
Catholicism is more than a religion,
it is a political power.
:29:48
Therefore, l am led to believe there
will be no peace in lreland...
:29:51
...until the Catholic Church is crushed.
:29:56
Your Majesty.
