:16:03
What? l guarantee l could raise 3000
men under arms inside a month!
:16:07
But could you guarantee their loyalty?
:16:10
ls there an Englishman who wouldn"t
draw a sword...
:16:12
-...against his king"s enemies?
-Many Englishmen...
:16:15
...who would more readily draw
swords against the king.
:16:18
My God, who is this jackanapes that
mouths such treason in your presence?
:16:24
You"ve been away
a long time, Strafford.
:16:27
Much here has changed.
:16:29
Aye, l can see it has.
:16:31
l fear Sir Edward but speaks the truth.
:16:35
To put an effective army in the field
will cost almost a million pounds.
:16:39
The Crown does not
have a million pounds.
:16:43
Are we just going to sit here
then and do nothing?
:16:48
Then l will summon Parliament
and instruct them to provide money.
:16:54
Parliament?!
:16:57
The king of England go cap in
hand to the common people, like a--
:17:02
-A beggar.
-Aye! A beggar.
:17:10
-l have no choice.
-l say take the money.
:17:13
You, my lord, are absolved before God
and before man from any such action.
:17:19
For in extreme necessity, the king is
acquitted from all rule of government...
:17:24
...and can do all
that his power permits.
:17:27
Power? Where is the power
of a king without an army?
:17:31
l"ll warrant you, l"ll raise an army.
:17:33
We"ll reduce this kingdom
to submission in one summer!
:17:38
Do you mean, sir, that l should
declare war on my own people?
:17:44
Aye!
:17:46
Before they declare war on you.
