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--

1:47:10
Or words to that effect.
1:47:13
He denied the title!
1:47:15
He did.
1:47:24
In good faith, Rich,
I am sorrier for your perjury than my peril.
1:47:29
-Do you deny this?
-Yes!
1:47:32
You know if I were a man
who heeded not the taking of an oath...
1:47:35
...I need not be here.
1:47:37
Now, I will take an oath.
1:47:41
If what Master Rich has said is true...
1:47:45
...I pray I may never see God in the face.
1:47:49
Which I would not say, were it otherwise,

1:47:53
