:39:24
I thought it right...
:39:33
You may have heard
I was unhappy about this match.
:39:36
Yes. Yes, I did.
:39:39
I worried that it would impede
what's important to me,
:39:43
which is studying and prayer.
:39:45
So I would prefer when this...
:39:49
...when this is done, that we lived...
:39:52
...shall we say as cousins,
rather than as man and wife.
:39:57
- If that is what you wish.
- It is.
:40:01
- I should myself make something clear.
- Please do.
:40:05
On the night I was informed
of my translation into bliss,
:40:09
I'd attended several taverns,
witnessed a bear-baiting
:40:13
and was in Southwark, sampling
the pleasures of a lady of the night.
:40:20
Thus far, I have to tell you,
:40:23
it had been a very good evening.
:40:29
Still...
:40:31
...duty calls.
:40:35
Dearly beloved friends,
:40:38
we are gathered here in the sight of God
and the face of His congregation,
:40:43
to join together this man and
this woman in holy matrimony,
:40:49
which is an honourable estate
instituted of God in paradise
:40:54
in the time of man's innocence
and therefore not to be enterprised,
