:18:16
Sir, throughout the three days
of this hearing...
:18:20
...this court has patiently awaited
your pleasure...
:18:23
...to hear what you have to say
in answer to charges against you.
:18:27
Yet you have declined to speak.
:18:29
l am most willing, sir,
to answer before Parliament...
:18:34
...but not before this assembly...
:18:37
...whose authority
l refuse to acknowledge.
:18:41
Sir, what answers you may offer
the commons can be given here.
:18:45
For this court does sit
in the name of the House of Commons.
:18:49
Sir, if, as you have said, you do love
the liberty of the subject...
:18:53
...you will grant me, your king,
a hearing before Parliament...
:18:57
...which is the lords and commons
assembled.
:19:02
Sir, l submit you seek only to delay
the course of justice.
:19:05
By your favour, sir,
l seek only those rights...
:19:09
...which, as your king,
l would grant any one of my subjects.
:19:16
Silence!
:19:20
Sir, this court requires to know
if you have anything to say...
:19:23
...before judgement is passed
upon you.
:19:26
l have nothing to say to you.
:19:31
Then this court
will retire to judgement.
:19:38
What ails thee? Art thou mad?
:19:40
Have we come thus far
that you would betray us now?
:19:43
There is nothing in the Constitution
of this land that entitles us...
:19:47
-...to bring a king to trial.
-ls he answerable to his subjects?
:19:50
-The trial is clearly illegal, and l--
-ls not he answerable to his subjects?
:19:55
The king, sir,
is answerable only to God.
:19:58
When he dies,
he shall have much to answer for.
