Sir Thomas More,
you have been found guilty of high treason.

1:50:13
-The sentence of the court--
-My lords!

1:50:16
When I was practising the law,
the manner was to ask the prisoner...

1:50:20
...before pronouncing sentence,
if he had anything to say.

1:50:24
Have you anything to say?
1:50:27
Yes.
1:50:38
Since the court has determined
to condemn me...

1:50:42
...God knoweth how...
1:50:45
...I will now discharge my mind...
1:50:49
...concerning the indictment
and the King's title.

1:50:56
The indictment is grounded
in an act of parliament...

1:51:01
...which is directly repugnant...
1:51:04
...to the law of God and His Holy Church.
1:51:07
The supreme government of which
no temperable person...

1:51:12
...may by any law
presume to take upon him.

1:51:16
This was granted...
1:51:19
...by the mouth...
1:51:21
...of our Saviour, Christ Himself...
1:51:24
...to St. Peter and the bishops of Rome
whilst He lived...

1:51:29
...and was personally present...
1:51:35
...here on earth.
1:51:38
It is therefore insufficient in law...
1:51:43
...to charge any Christian to obey it.
1:51:47
And more than this...
1:51:48
...the immunity of the Church is promised
both in Magna Carta...

1:51:53
...and in the King's own coronation oath.
1:51:58
Now, we plainly see you are malicious!
