1:45:03
My lords, I wish to call Sir Richard Rich!
1:45:08
Richard Rich, come into court.
1:45:11
Richard Rich!
1:45:33
"l do swear the evidence I'll give
before the court shall be the truth...
1:45:36
"...the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth."
1:45:39
"So help me God," sir.
1:45:41
"So help me God."
1:45:45
Now Rich, on May 12,
you were at the Tower?
1:45:49
-I was.
-For what purpose?
1:45:50
I was sent to carry away
the prisoner's books.
1:45:53
-Did you talk with the prisoner?
-Yes.
1:45:55
Did you talk of the King's supremacy
of the Church?
1:45:58
Yes.
1:45:59
What did you say?
1:46:01
I said to him, "Supposing there were
an act of parliament...
1:46:04
"...to say that l, Richard Rich,
were to be king.
1:46:07
"Would not you, Master More,
take me for king?"
1:46:10
"That I would," he said.
1:46:15
"For then you would be king."
1:46:19
Yes?
1:46:22
Then he said,
"But I will put you a higher case.
1:46:26
"How, if there were an act of parliament,
to say that God should not be God?"
1:46:31
-This is true and then you said--
-Silence!
1:46:34
Continue.
1:46:38
But then I said,
"l will put you a middle case.
1:46:42
"Parliament has made our King
Head of the Church.
1:46:44
"Why will you not accept him?"
1:46:50
Well?
1:46:54
And then he said,
"Parliament had not the power to do it."
1:46:59
Repeat the prisoner's words.
