In the June of 1521,
the King published a book.
1:13:16
A theological work.
1:13:19
It was called,
A Defence of the Seven Sacraments.
1:13:21
For which he was named "Defender
of the Faith" by His Holiness, the Pope.
1:13:26
By the Bishop of Rome,
or do you insist on "pope"?
1:13:30
No. "Bishop of Rome" if you like.
It doesn't alter his authority.
1:13:35
Thank you. You come to the point
very readily. What is that authority?
1:13:40
For example, in the Church of England...
1:13:42
...what exactly is
the Bishop of Rome's authority?
1:13:45
You will find it very ably set out
and defended, Master Secretary...
1:13:50
...in the King's book.
1:13:52
In the book published under
the King's name, would be more accurate.
1:13:55
-You wrote this book.
-I wrote no part of it.
1:13:58
I don't mean you actually held the pen.
1:14:00
I answered to my best ability,
some points of common law...
1:14:03
...which the King put to me,
as I was bound to do.
1:14:05
Do you deny you instigated it?
1:14:07
It was from first to last
the King's own project.
1:14:10
The King says not.
1:14:14
The King knows the truth of it.
1:14:18
And whatever he may have said to you...
1:14:20
...he will not give evidence
to support this accusation.
1:14:24
Why not?
1:14:26
Because evidence is given on oath,
and he will not perjure himself.
1:14:30
If you don't know that,
then you don't yet know him.
1:14:39
Sir Thomas More.
1:14:41
Have you anything to say...
1:14:42
...regarding the King's marriage
with Queen Anne?
1:14:45
I understood
I was not to be asked that again.
1:14:47
Then you understood wrongly.
These charges--
1:14:50
They are terrors for children,
Master Secretary, not for me!
1:14:59
Then know that the King
commands me to charge you...
