--> 00:37:47,206 ...to arrange a most brilliant marriage for you. 390 00:37:47,369 --> 00:37:51,209 If not to Don Luis, then to someone even more eligible. 391 00:37:51,373 --> 00:37:54,203 I thought you said Don Luis was incomparable. 392 00:37:54,376 --> 00:37:57,416 -Madam, l did not mean-- -No, you meant well. 393 00:37:58,047 --> 00:38:00,087 You always mean well. 394 00:38:03,969 --> 00:38:06,729 Jane's household is now all broken up. 395 00:38:07,056 --> 00:38:10,596 -Where will you go, Lady Misseldon? -To live with my mother. 396 00:38:10,768 --> 00:38:13,398 What about the young man you were engaged to? 397 00:38:13,562 --> 00:38:15,642 Robert Tavistock? 398 00:38:15,815 --> 00:38:18,395 I think he is not so interested in me. 399 00:38:18,567 --> 00:38:20,737 Well, he's a fool, then. 400 00:38:21,070 --> 00:38:23,370 You're kind to think so, Sir Francis. 401 00:38:23,531 --> 00:38:25,571 Is he so foolish he'll turn down a peerage... 402 00:38:25,741 --> 00:38:28,281 ...and a gift of one of the dissolved abbeys... 403 00:38:28,452 --> 00:38:30,612 ...if he agrees to marry you? 404 00:38:31,372 --> 00:38:33,082 Majesty, I would think less of him... 405 00:38:33,249 --> 00:38:36,839 ...if he needed to accept such gifts in order to love me. 406 00:38:38,504 --> 00:38:41,754 Your Majesty has been more than generous and gracious... 407 00:38:41,924 --> 00:38:44,044 ...but l am settled in my plan to go home... 408 00:38:44,218 --> 00:38:46,638 ...and see what shall become of me. 409 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,600 In my present state of mind... 410 00:38:49,765 --> 00:38:52,095 ...you could not have said a more admirable thing. 411 00:38:54,186 --> 00:38:56,646 You may leave with our love and blessing. 412 00:39:02,361 --> 00:39:04,361 One more night. 413 00:39:29,847 --> 00:39:33,147 -The traitor Pole escaped you. -Yes. 414 00:39:33,309 --> 00:39:37,069 We had other agents looking for him, but he was smuggled off to ltaly. 415 00:39:37,730 --> 00:39:40,400 No doubt he's sitting on the pope's lap even now. 416 00:39:40,566 --> 00:39:42,316 His betrayal hurts me. 417 00:39:42,902 --> 00:39:46,152 Pity it is that the folly of one brain-sick Pole... 418 00:39:46,322 --> 00:39:49,992 ...or to say better, one witless fool, should be the ruin of so great a family. 419 00:39:53,829 --> 00:39:58,919 Though l cannot touch him, I swear l will make him eat his heart. 420 00:40:11,263 --> 00:40:14,643 The Holy Father mentioned you in his prayers today. 421 00:40:14,808 --> 00:40:17,558 He thanked God for your safe deliverance. 422 00:40:17,728 --> 00:40:20,318 I was sure I was going to die. 423 00:40:21,815 --> 00:40:24,855 Death is not ready for you yet. 424 00:40:26,153 --> 00:40:28,613 God has something else in mind. 425 00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:33,789 How else to explain the miracle of your survival? 426 00:40:44,213 --> 00:40:47,423 My brother, Lord Montague, has sent me a letter. 427 00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:51,060 Show me. 428 00:41:01,063 --> 00:41:03,983 "I send you God's blessing and mine. 429 00:41:04,149 --> 00:41:08,699 Although my trust to have comfort in you has turned to sorrow. 430 00:41:08,862 --> 00:41:10,112 It is incredible to me... 431 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,250 ...that by reason of a brief sent to you by the bishop of Rome... 432 00:41:14,410 --> 00:41:17,290 ...you should be resident with him for this winter. 433 00:41:17,454 --> 00:41:21,164 If you keep that way, then farewell all my hope... 434 00:41:21,333 --> 00:41:25,833 ...and God save your mother and all your family." 435 00:41:29,758 --> 00:41:31,638 What should l do? 436 00:41:45,566 --> 00:41:47,646 That letter was not written by your brother... 437 00:41:48,277 --> 00:41:52,447 ...but dictated to him by Cromwell, the messenger of Satan. 438 00:41:59,496 --> 00:42:04,376 Never let the devil beguile you, either with his threats or his promises. 439 00:42:05,085 --> 00:42:08,125 The price of your soul is eternal vigilance. 440 00:42:08,297 --> 00:42:09,967 If you once let down your guard... 441 00:42:10,132 --> 00:42:13,842 ...the devil will slip like a serpent into your mouth... 442 00:42:14,011 --> 00:42:17,971 ...and forever afterwards he will speak for you. 443 00:42:21,226 --> 00:42:23,606 Lord Bishop, you and your committee were asked... 444 00:42:23,771 --> 00:42:26,811 ...to examine and determine the doctrine of the Church of England. 445 00:42:26,982 --> 00:42:29,522 But you seem unable to agree on anything. 446 00:42:30,152 --> 00:42:31,942 Your Majesty... 447 00:42:32,112 --> 00:42:36,942 ...there continue to be some fundamental theological differences... 448 00:42:37,117 --> 00:42:40,077 -...between members of the committee. -l'm aware of that. 449 00:42:40,245 --> 00:42:42,035 But l've grown very impatient... 450 00:42:42,206 --> 00:42:45,166 ...and l will not tolerate any more divisions. 451 00:42:45,501 --> 00:42:50,541 I have formulated six fundamental doctrinal questions. 452 00:42:51,673 --> 00:42:55,003 The answers to these questions will form the basis of our faith. 453 00:42:57,012 --> 00:43:00,802 Of course, as Your Majesty wishes. 454 00:43:01,350 --> 00:43:05,190 I shall go at once to Canterbury and consult with the archbishop. 455 00:43:05,354 --> 00:43:07,064 My lord... 456 00:43:07,356 --> 00:43:08,686 ...save yourself the journey. 457 00:43:10,359 --> 00:43:13,409 I think we understand each other very well. 458 00:43:13,570 --> 00:43:16,910 Let's leave Archbishop Cranmer to tend to his own garden. 459 00:43:17,074 --> 00:43:19,444 There's really no need to bother him. 460 00:43:20,077 --> 00:43:21,457 Don't you agree? 461 00:43:34,049 --> 00:43:37,219 Your Majesty, here are the Six Articles of Faith... 462 00:43:37,386 --> 00:43:40,226 ...upon which Your Majesty's Church of England... 463 00:43:40,389 --> 00:43:42,229 ...is to be built and sustained. 464 00:43:42,391 --> 00:43:43,551 Read them. 465 00:43:43,725 --> 00:43:49,065 The first article concerns the truth of the transubstantiation of God. 466 00:43:49,231 --> 00:43:52,981 By the consecration of the bread and the wine at holy Mass... 467 00:43:53,152 --> 00:43:57,612 ...there takes place a change in the whole substance of the bread... 468 00:43:57,781 --> 00:44:00,401 ...into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord... 469 00:44:00,576 --> 00:44:03,706 ...and a change in the substance of the wine... 470 00:44:03,871 --> 00:44:06,661 ...into the substance of his blood. 471 00:44:06,832 --> 00:44:10,332 The penalty for denying this is death by burning... 472 00:44:10,878 --> 00:44:13,298 ...even after recantation. 473 00:44:14,464 --> 00:44:16,594 The second article concerns... 474 00:44:16,758 --> 00:44:22,308 ...the withholding of the cup from the laity during Communion. 475 00:44:22,472 --> 00:44:24,432 For if we offer them the blood of Christ... 476 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,320 ...they will lose all their reverence for the holy sacraments... 477 00:44:28,478 --> 00:44:32,318 ...and the power of the blood will be washed away. 478 00:44:47,998 --> 00:44:52,878 The third article prescribes the continued validity... 479 00:44:53,045 --> 00:44:57,465 ...of the vows of celibacy for all priests and nuns. 480 00:44:57,633 --> 00:44:59,093 For does St. Paul not say: 481 00:44:59,259 --> 00:45:04,309 "He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things of the Lord... 482 00:45:04,473 --> 00:45:06,183 ...how he may please God. 483 00:45:06,350 --> 00:45:10,940 And he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world." 484 00:45:12,397 --> 00:45:17,237 All priests who are now married must forthwith desert their wives... 485 00:45:17,402 --> 00:45:21,112 ...or face the penalty of death. 486 00:45:29,957 --> 00:45:34,547 The fourth article concerns the observation of the vows of chastity. 487 00:45:34,962 --> 00:45:37,582 A priest makes a vow of chastity... 488 00:45:37,756 --> 00:45:41,676 ...and any violation of that vow must surely be a sin against religion. 489 00:45:41,843 --> 00:45:47,013 To turn aside a vow to God and to writhe in the pit of fornication... 490 00:45:47,182 --> 00:45:51,052 ...is to follow the devil willingly into the mouth of hell. 491 00:46:04,658 --> 00:46:07,208 The fifth article herein decided... 492 00:46:07,369 --> 00:46:11,539 ...is concerned with the continuation of private Masses... 493 00:46:11,707 --> 00:46:16,877 ...whereby good Christian people may receive both godly... 494 00:46:17,045 --> 00:46:21,585 ...and goodly consolation and blessings for their souls. 495 00:46:23,051 --> 00:46:27,841 The siXth article confirms the importance of confession. 496 00:46:31,435 --> 00:46:34,265 Confess your sins to one another. 497 00:46:38,859 --> 00:46:42,159 Anyone who disputes against these articles... 498 00:46:42,321 --> 00:46:44,691 ...must now be considered a heretic... 499 00:46:44,865 --> 00:46:49,285 ...like those extreme Lutherans who now roam this land. 500 00:46:49,453 --> 00:46:52,573 The punishment for transgression is to be death by hanging... 501 00:46:52,748 --> 00:46:58,258 ...drawing and quartering, as well as forfeiture of estates and property. 502 00:46:58,420 --> 00:47:00,970 And any man who decides... 503 00:47:01,131 --> 00:47:04,291 ...to try to flee England in the face of these new articles... 504 00:47:04,468 --> 00:47:06,848 ...will be considered to have committed treason... 505 00:47:07,012 --> 00:47:12,762 ...and suffer accordingly the awful fate handed out to traitors. 506 00:47:14,561 --> 00:47:17,271 Thank you, my Lord Bishop. 507 00:47:31,203 --> 00:47:33,073 Your Eminences are to be congratulated... 508 00:47:33,246 --> 00:47:35,786 ...on your hard work and manifest wisdom. 509 00:47:35,957 --> 00:47:39,167 Here we have six articles we may adhere to with a clear conscience. 510 00:47:40,045 --> 00:47:42,505 There is one final amendment. 511 00:47:43,715 --> 00:47:48,885 Henceforth, the Lord's Prayer will be altered to include the doxology: 512 00:47:49,221 --> 00:47:54,971 For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. 513 00:47:55,352 --> 00:47:59,182 Amen. 514 00:48:01,149 --> 00:48:04,279 My lords, eminences, Your Grace. 515 00:48:05,654 --> 00:48:08,534 Now that these matters have been determined... 516 00:48:09,074 --> 00:48:11,994 ...let us prosecute with absolute diligence... 517 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,500 ...all those who stubbornly stand against us. 518 00:48:28,885 --> 00:48:33,175 These aren't six articles, they are a whip with six strings. 519 00:48:33,348 --> 00:48:36,688 Cranmer will have to send his wife and son back to Germany... 520 00:48:36,852 --> 00:48:39,142 ...or be burned. 521 00:48:39,438 --> 00:48:42,188 Oh, it's not just that, Mr. Rich. 522 00:48:42,399 --> 00:48:43,779 Private Masses, confession... 523 00:48:43,942 --> 00:48:46,942 ...the body and the blood of Christ, these are Catholic measures. 524 00:48:47,112 --> 00:48:50,902 He's rolled back the reforms. It's the end of our Reformation. 525 00:48:51,074 --> 00:48:53,614 -Why? -Because in his heart... 526 00:48:53,785 --> 00:48:57,165 ...he has always been a true Catholic. 527 00:48:57,456 --> 00:49:00,836 Excepting this one thing, that he would have neither pope... 528 00:49:01,001 --> 00:49:05,251 ...nor Luther, nor any other man set above him.
