"Tis but a block of wood
you hold in your hand.
:28:05
-My lords, all l ask for is a little time.
-Time, my lord, costs us heavily.
:28:13
lf we can hold on here
in Oxford for six weeks...
:28:17
...the Scots have promised an army
of 20,000 men.
:28:20
Her Majesty is in communication
with my cousin, the king of France...
:28:26
...and l have good reason to hope
for support from lreland.
:28:31
An army from lreland, Your Majesty?
:28:34
l would as soon join forces
with Cromwell himself...
:28:37
...as take up arms with the Catholics!

:29:39
...all institutions of established order...
:29:41
...throughout the countries
of Europe are threatened.
