:29:01
l will not countenance defeat.
:29:05
Rather than abandon
my kingdom to Parliament...
:29:08
...l would come to terms
with the devil himself.
:29:14
Since you came
to the throne, Your Majesty...
:29:17
...your armies have persistently
persecuted our Church in lreland.
:29:21
And yet, now that your need is great,
you turn to us for help.
:29:27
The king"s actions in lreland,
Your Excellency...
:29:30
...will seem as nothing should
these Puritans come to power.
:29:34
lt is not only the Crown of England
that is in peril, Excellency...
:29:39
...all institutions of established order...
:29:41
...throughout the countries
of Europe are threatened.
:29:44
An lrish army of 20,000 men,
even 1 5,000...
:29:49
...would forestall such a threat...
:29:51
...and bring this wretched war
to a speedy end.
:29:56
l am instructed to say
that His Holiness...
:30:00
...would permit an lrish force
to take up arms in this country.
:30:06
But there are certain conditions.
:30:08
First, the Catholic Church in lreland
must be completely restored...
:30:13
...and permitted to practice freely
without interference or oppression.
:30:18
Secondly, all Protestant churches
in lreland must be closed...
:30:23
...and all Protestant bishops
and ministers removed from office.
:30:28
Oh, there are one or two other
minor conditions of little consequence.
:30:33
What you demand, Excellency,
would be a betrayal...
:30:36
...of my coronation oath
as head of the English Church.
:30:40
You have a duty, Charles, to the Crown.
:30:43
For without that,
you will be head of nothing!
:30:46
May l tell His Holiness
that you will agree to these conditions?
:30:59
You have something to say,
Sir Edward?
