:46:03
My lords...
:46:06
silence will not save us.
:46:08
If we challenge Charles,
:46:10
will there be war...
:46:14
the awful shedding
of yet more blood?
:46:16
I honestly don't know. I've mislaid
all my former certainties.
:46:20
But think.
:46:24
The Emperor invites us
to present our creeds,
:46:28
to present what we believe in.
:46:30
Satan invites us to preach in hell.
:46:34
Is that a trap?
:46:39
Or our greatest opportunity so far?
:46:43
And remember, since I may not
come with you to Augsburg,
:46:47
you'll face Charles' rough alone.
:46:58
Your choice is simple.
:47:01
If you give in, my lords,
the bright comet that is our faith
:47:04
will shatter and be reduced
to a few isolated torches,
:47:09
sputtering in a dark universe.
:47:18
This way:
:47:41
And why does the father run
to meet his prodigal son?
:47:46
Landowners don't run.
:47:47
Noblemen don't run.
:47:49
Princes don't run.
:47:52
So why does this rich,
landowning father run?
:47:59
Because he's afraid.
