...he will still be our king
and we his subjects.

:25:04
lf he beats us but once,
we shall all be hanged.

:25:09
lf that is so, then why
in the bowels of Christ...

:25:13
...did we take up arms against him
in the first place?

:25:22
Gentlemen...
:25:27
...honest men
have served us faithfully...

:25:31
...and many have died...
:25:34
...that this House may sit in freedom
and this nation live in liberty.

:25:40
ln the name of God, l beseech you...
:25:44
...do not desert them now.
:25:53
Unless Parliament supports
this war to the full...

:25:57
...l am bound to say, in all conscience,
that l will lay down my sword...

...and let this House
make its peace with the king...

:26:20
...the immediate resignation
of the high command...

:26:24

of this Parliament.
