WEBVTT

00:21.160 --> 00:22.120
Then speak.

00:23.000 --> 00:24.680
Child, show us your great learning.

00:25.980 --> 00:32.000
You have nothing to fear but God's wrath,
my little one, so speak.

00:33.480 --> 00:38.160
Our Father... Yes, there is more.

00:39.620 --> 00:44.880
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

00:45.920 --> 00:51.440
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
as in heaven, as on earth.

00:52.500 --> 00:58.080
Give us day by day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins.

00:58.820 --> 01:02.800
For we also forgive everyone... Enough!

01:06.460 --> 01:12.640
I most solemnly forbid you, child,
ever again to speak the creed,

01:12.820 --> 01:17.060
the Lord's Prayer, or the Ten Commandments
in English.

01:20.020 --> 01:21.580
We need hear no more.

01:22.560 --> 01:28.980
The men will burn, but of our great
compassion and mercy, the widow will be

01:28.980 --> 01:34.380
spared to provide for this brood,
after we have taught them afresh the godly

01:34.380 --> 01:35.340
ways of the church.

01:36.740 --> 01:38.080
See she is safe home, Morton.

01:39.540 --> 01:40.320
Take the rest away.

03:49.670 --> 03:50.870
William, where have you been?

03:51.030 --> 03:51.550
It's late.

03:52.410 --> 03:53.290
Forgive me, Lady Anne.

03:53.450 --> 03:55.290
There's nothing to forgive, but you have a
visitor.

03:55.710 --> 03:56.030
For me?

03:56.450 --> 03:57.410
Come and see for yourself.

04:02.470 --> 04:06.090
He will be dining with us, and from the
look of him I would say his appetite is

04:06.090 --> 04:08.170
dull, only by his eagerness to see you.

04:08.410 --> 04:08.790
A friend?

04:09.670 --> 04:11.190
That I will tell you no more.

04:12.650 --> 04:15.390
Are you familiar with the name Thomas
Poynes?

04:16.250 --> 04:16.790
No, sir.

04:17.890 --> 04:21.430
Merchant in London, kinsman to my wife,
cousin of some such.

04:21.850 --> 04:24.050
Now, he is a man of your persuasion.

04:24.610 --> 04:29.370
Talks endlessly of Erasmus and Luther and
the new learnings, he calls it.

04:29.610 --> 04:31.770
London is some miles from Cambridge,
Sir John.

04:31.990 --> 04:36.470
I know that, but the world grows smaller
with the passing of the days, and the

04:36.470 --> 04:38.970
world of learning grows larger within it.

04:39.250 --> 04:41.430
Why, even here in the Cotswolds... John!

04:42.250 --> 04:42.730
William!

04:46.450 --> 04:47.410
At last!

04:48.090 --> 04:49.730
Indeed, at last!

04:50.050 --> 04:51.890
The man could die for want of nourishment.

04:52.330 --> 04:53.970
Lady Anne says that you will stay to dine.

04:54.250 --> 04:56.790
Not to dine only, but also to lodge a
night or two?

04:57.570 --> 04:58.170
Say you will.

04:58.490 --> 04:58.950
I will.

05:03.190 --> 05:06.910
But sire, I said, your horse is the
largest in all England.

05:08.250 --> 05:11.490
If Hannibal had owned such mounts,
he would have taken Rome.

05:12.550 --> 05:15.450
To me it was a jest, but to the king,
a challenge.

05:16.050 --> 05:19.830
Very well then, Zoe Bellow, we will change
mounts and race again.

05:19.970 --> 05:20.350
And did you?

05:20.590 --> 05:22.030
Aye, I must obey the king.

05:22.590 --> 05:23.610
But there's the rub.

05:24.270 --> 05:28.110
Though it were politic to lose,
ought I to lose on the fastest,

05:28.430 --> 05:29.750
finest horse in all England?

05:30.650 --> 05:31.290
What say you?

05:32.490 --> 05:34.750
If you win, you injure the king.

05:35.090 --> 05:36.730
If you lose, you injure his horse.

05:37.630 --> 05:39.050
Surely it were better to lose.

05:40.110 --> 05:42.750
Well, we raced and I won.

05:43.470 --> 05:47.410
And the king clapped me on the shoulder
and said, you will be my champion.

05:47.570 --> 05:49.530
No, the king were but seventeen years of
age.

05:49.530 --> 05:53.490
And I but twenty-two and half as strong as
he.

05:54.070 --> 05:55.030
What would you have done, William?

05:55.450 --> 05:56.030
Lost or won?

05:57.210 --> 05:58.310
But neither one nor the other.

05:58.910 --> 06:01.690
Between me and a horse, I like a large
cart or a long distance.

06:08.890 --> 06:10.950
He is a good and kind man.

06:11.190 --> 06:12.930
But his children have no need of a tutor.

06:14.110 --> 06:16.270
Perhaps in years to come, but now.

06:16.610 --> 06:18.370
So, what would you have me do?

06:18.450 --> 06:19.350
Return with me.

06:20.270 --> 06:22.710
You have much to give, encouragement to
offer.

06:23.150 --> 06:24.210
You have faith and wisdom.

06:24.890 --> 06:25.990
Why would you rob us of that?

06:26.670 --> 06:28.310
Why rob yourself of the fellowship?

06:28.670 --> 06:29.210
And the wheelwright?

06:29.390 --> 06:29.890
The blacksmith?

06:30.210 --> 06:30.830
The ploughman?

06:31.270 --> 06:32.030
Are they better robbed?

06:33.530 --> 06:34.390
What of this man here?

06:36.010 --> 06:37.310
Where will he find Christ?

06:38.090 --> 06:39.190
Will the priests show him?

06:39.350 --> 06:39.930
Or the friars?

06:40.870 --> 06:44.790
His hair is lost as he is praying to the
saints with words beyond their

06:44.790 --> 06:45.350
understanding.

06:46.290 --> 06:51.050
So you will remain here on the edge of the
world to teach the ploughman.

06:52.110 --> 06:54.970
Moses was forty long years in the
wilderness before he knew what God would

06:54.970 --> 06:55.410
have him do.

06:56.070 --> 06:57.750
Before I teach his word, I must learn it.

06:58.610 --> 06:59.270
And then?

07:01.130 --> 07:04.330
It was in the language of Israel that the
Psalms were sung in the Temple of Jehovah.

07:06.090 --> 07:10.970
Why should the gospel speak to England in
Latin, the language of ancient Rome?

07:12.710 --> 07:16.810
I shall bring the scriptures to England
for Englishmen to read.

07:20.620 --> 07:25.980
And the Lord God spoke through his prophet
Jeremiah and said that a horrible thing

07:25.980 --> 07:26.860
had happened in the land.

07:27.780 --> 07:33.020
The prophets prophesied lies, he said,
and the priests ruled by their own

07:33.020 --> 07:33.560
authority.

07:34.660 --> 07:36.040
And this was Israel.

07:37.140 --> 07:40.700
God's chosen people plucked from the
bondage of Egypt and brought to the

07:40.700 --> 07:43.920
promised land, the priests ruled by their
own authority.

07:45.280 --> 07:47.940
And what can we say of England now?

07:48.800 --> 07:53.520
What can we say of our coarse monks,
our greedy priests and our pompous

07:53.520 --> 07:53.940
prelates?

07:54.940 --> 07:59.440
Theirs is not the gospel of Christ,
but a trade, and a profitable trade at

07:59.440 --> 07:59.700
that.

08:00.240 --> 08:01.540
Think of it, they want money for
everything.

08:01.860 --> 08:05.880
They want money for baptisms, money for
churchings, money for weddings,

08:06.040 --> 08:10.520
for buryings, for penances, for soul
masses, for chalices, bells.

08:10.780 --> 08:12.660
Those are for the glory of God.

08:13.100 --> 08:16.760
Would you so cheapen salvation as to offer
it without a sacrifice?

08:16.960 --> 08:21.480
As the psalmist declared, the sacrifices
of God are a broken spirit and a contrite

08:21.480 --> 08:21.880
heart.

08:22.040 --> 08:23.820
Would this man mock me before this crowd?

08:24.080 --> 08:25.640
You poor sheep.

08:26.360 --> 08:30.320
The parson shears, the vicar shaves,
the priest scrapes, the friar pears.

08:30.520 --> 08:33.180
All we lack is a butcher to tear off the
skin.

08:35.220 --> 08:37.440
Why are the prelates dressed in red?

08:39.460 --> 08:42.540
It is meant to show that they are ready
every hour to suffer martyrdom for the

08:42.540 --> 08:45.020
testimony of God's word, for God's word.

08:45.820 --> 08:49.700
If any man hears so much as utter one
question concerning God's word,

08:50.120 --> 08:52.300
they are ready every hour to burn him.

08:52.640 --> 08:53.340
He must be stopped.

08:54.860 --> 08:58.700
Behold, the day has come, saith the Lord,
when I will bring a famine in the land,

08:59.000 --> 09:03.700
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for
water, but of hearing the words of the

09:03.700 --> 09:04.140
Lord.

09:05.960 --> 09:08.200
They are looking to trap you, William,
and they shall.

09:08.840 --> 09:10.020
You must take care.

09:10.500 --> 09:10.840
Yes.

09:12.360 --> 09:13.540
People have been burned, William.

09:13.800 --> 09:15.200
Simple, good, honest folk burned.

09:15.260 --> 09:15.780
And for what?

09:15.980 --> 09:18.380
For teaching their children the Lord's
prayer in English.

09:18.760 --> 09:19.820
Does it not trouble you?

09:20.260 --> 09:21.580
They shall have a better resurrection.

09:23.520 --> 09:26.300
They taught their children the Lord's
prayer and were burned.

09:26.460 --> 09:28.440
You would give the nation the whole
scripture.

09:29.060 --> 09:29.880
What will they do to you?

09:29.980 --> 09:30.900
Do you have no fear?

09:31.200 --> 09:34.900
Yes, and I most fear him who has the power
to destroy the soul.

09:35.860 --> 09:37.100
Nothing I say will change you.

09:37.940 --> 09:41.020
I would ask only that you walk carefully.

09:47.360 --> 09:47.800
Archegos.

09:49.220 --> 09:50.260
The first one.

09:52.380 --> 09:53.280
The beginning one.

09:53.360 --> 09:54.320
The one who makes it begin.

09:56.580 --> 09:57.280
The beginner.

09:59.320 --> 10:01.640
The beginner and finisher of our faith.

10:08.860 --> 10:13.180
If I said beginner and finisher,
the reader will believe there is an ending

10:13.180 --> 10:13.900
of our faith.

10:14.820 --> 10:16.480
But of our faith, there is no ending.

10:18.320 --> 10:21.020
Teliotes is one who completes,
but not one who ends.

10:22.560 --> 10:25.260
Teliotes is a fine craftsman who completes
his work.

10:26.220 --> 10:30.680
A poet, perhaps, who, having brought his
art into being, now brings a perfect

10:30.680 --> 10:32.960
finish to it.

10:34.100 --> 10:35.000
And Archegos.

10:36.360 --> 10:37.540
The beginning one.

10:38.980 --> 10:39.900
The creator.

10:41.180 --> 10:42.040
The author.

10:44.540 --> 10:47.420
The author and finisher of our faith.

10:51.440 --> 10:56.680
Let us run with patience unto the battle
that is set before us, looking unto Jesus,

10:57.600 --> 11:00.340
the author and finisher of our faith.

11:02.220 --> 11:02.820
William.

11:04.220 --> 11:05.880
Forgive me, I start with you.

11:07.340 --> 11:08.500
You seem troubled.

11:09.320 --> 11:10.880
I have a letter for you.

11:11.940 --> 11:14.100
It carries the seal of the archdeacon.

11:14.720 --> 11:15.280
Bad news?

11:16.220 --> 11:17.200
I would think so.

11:18.900 --> 11:22.980
For some time now, there's been criticism
of you amongst the priests and friars.

11:22.980 --> 11:25.560
I fear what John Bell will have to say.

11:25.720 --> 11:29.300
Let us read it and learn what we have to
fear.

11:35.230 --> 11:38.910
I am summoned to appear before the
archdeacon to answer a charge of heresy.

11:41.410 --> 11:42.470
How will you answer?

11:43.610 --> 11:49.330
Mr Tyndale, you have been accused of
heresy in argument, in logic, and in

11:49.330 --> 11:49.690
divinity.

11:50.050 --> 11:53.590
And I will answer the charges if you can
bring just one witness to show what I have

11:53.590 --> 11:53.970
heard.

11:53.970 --> 11:58.650
I will testify that you did spread out the
scriptures nakedly before the people.

11:59.010 --> 12:02.990
And I will answer that I did expound the
word of God, that they might find Christ.

12:03.270 --> 12:04.690
The word of God?

12:05.410 --> 12:07.370
Why, even we are unable to explain it.

12:07.630 --> 12:09.110
How then can the common people?

12:09.550 --> 12:12.190
It is a mystery only to those who read it
without Christ.

12:13.010 --> 12:15.010
That is why it is an obscure book to you.

12:15.650 --> 12:17.410
Nothing is obscure to us.

12:17.790 --> 12:20.110
It is we who explain the scriptures to
you.

12:20.250 --> 12:22.230
Then you are wasting both your time and
your trouble.

12:22.830 --> 12:25.790
Far from explaining the scriptures,
it is you who have hidden them.

12:26.170 --> 12:28.170
You who burn those who would teach them.

12:28.250 --> 12:30.810
Why, if you could, you would burn the very
word of God itself.

12:30.890 --> 12:31.630
Enough, please.

12:31.650 --> 12:32.790
We are not here to debate.

12:33.930 --> 12:38.110
Mr Tyndale, it is written in the
scriptures that the people should be

12:38.110 --> 12:42.350
subject to the rulers and authorities and
should obey the magistrates.

12:43.190 --> 12:47.030
What you are doing is outside the law of
England.

12:47.030 --> 12:52.230
If you deny that law, it follows that you
deny the scriptures.

12:53.490 --> 13:00.530
I would therefore ask first, if you offend
the law, can any good come of it?

13:00.950 --> 13:02.310
However well you mean.

13:03.910 --> 13:08.290
And secondly, I would counsel that though
he have friends in high places,

13:08.850 --> 13:11.590
even Sir John Walsh is not above the law.

13:12.790 --> 13:17.870
And thirdly, I would charge you,
most solemnly, that when you go from this

13:17.870 --> 13:22.410
place, you will obey the law and speak no
more heresy.

13:22.730 --> 13:23.190
Now go.

13:52.450 --> 13:54.090
You pray to the saints.

13:54.650 --> 13:56.130
You make images of them.

13:57.230 --> 13:58.890
You light candles to them.

13:59.450 --> 14:02.550
If these images can see and hear,
perhaps they hunger also.

14:03.470 --> 14:06.930
If they hunger, why do you not make their
bellies hollow and put food and drink

14:06.930 --> 14:07.310
inside?

14:07.550 --> 14:09.570
Jest is ill becoming in one so young.

14:09.750 --> 14:11.390
His mind is full of invention.

14:11.570 --> 14:12.470
And profanity.

14:12.830 --> 14:14.730
Would you make a mockery of sacred images?

14:15.230 --> 14:16.950
No more would I than did the prophet
Isaiah.

14:17.930 --> 14:21.170
He wrote of a man who cut down a tree to
light a fire to bake some bread.

14:21.750 --> 14:25.190
And when he was warmed and filled,
he took the remains of that wood and

14:25.190 --> 14:26.030
carved an image.

14:26.030 --> 14:30.530
Then he fell down before it and worshipped
it, saying, You are my God, deliver me.

14:31.410 --> 14:33.190
Did Isaiah laugh when he wrote that?

14:33.730 --> 14:34.890
Did Isaiah write that?

14:35.350 --> 14:39.210
You are a priest, tutored in the classics
in Cambridge University.

14:39.730 --> 14:45.370
If you, learned as we suppose you are,
schooled in Greek and Latin and divinity,

14:45.810 --> 14:49.950
practiced in the arts of debate and
contention, if you cannot understand

14:49.950 --> 14:54.090
Isaiah, or the scriptures you so
imprudently expound, how then can the

14:54.090 --> 14:58.850
ignorant laity, the blacksmith,
the weaver, the plowboy, those who count

14:58.850 --> 15:01.010
upon their fingers and look to us to guide
them?

15:01.090 --> 15:02.310
One moment, doctor.

15:04.770 --> 15:10.690
As our Lord said, Hotan de elfe ekainos
top numates ale.

15:11.030 --> 15:12.690
Ah, spare us, spare us.

15:12.710 --> 15:13.930
I acknowledge your learning.

15:14.050 --> 15:15.230
Must you parade it before us?

15:15.630 --> 15:17.590
I thought perhaps translation might cause
offence.

15:18.050 --> 15:22.830
Your very presence at this table causes
offence, which we endure for the sake of

15:22.830 --> 15:24.530
our host and our gracious hostess.

15:25.490 --> 15:29.570
If our Lord spoke, would it not be better
to hear it in English?

15:29.810 --> 15:31.690
Would that all England could hear it in
English.

15:32.030 --> 15:33.430
Damn your impertinence!

15:33.850 --> 15:34.930
What did he say?

15:36.030 --> 15:40.830
When he, the spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth.

15:41.290 --> 15:46.550
And that, young Tyndale, is what the
spirit does through the church.

15:46.750 --> 15:48.390
But the church has so many persuasions.

15:48.950 --> 15:52.350
One man follows Don Scosius, another
Thomas Aquinas, another Bonadventure.

15:52.870 --> 15:55.690
If all these learned men are in
contradiction, one with each other,

15:56.270 --> 15:58.930
how can we know right from wrong but by
God's word?

15:59.370 --> 16:02.490
God's word says, if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out.

16:03.210 --> 16:06.290
Give the scriptures to ignorant men,
and they'll soon be tearing out their own

16:06.290 --> 16:06.550
eyes.

16:06.670 --> 16:08.910
Hither and yon will be a nation of blind
men.

16:09.230 --> 16:11.730
Without God's word, we are a nation of
blind men.

16:12.150 --> 16:16.230
But without the help of doctors,
God's word is too hard to understand.

16:17.210 --> 16:19.890
And that is to measure the yardstick by
the cloth.

16:20.530 --> 16:24.050
There are as many doctors as there are
pieces of cloth, but only one yardstick of

16:24.050 --> 16:24.390
scripture.

16:25.890 --> 16:27.810
By what should we measure that?

16:28.230 --> 16:29.050
By the Pope.

16:29.470 --> 16:33.970
The Pope whom God has set on earth in
direct succession from the Apostle Peter.

16:34.290 --> 16:37.710
The Pope through whom God administers
truth and justice.

16:37.810 --> 16:38.290
The Pope!

16:38.550 --> 16:39.270
The Pope!

16:40.050 --> 16:42.770
And what if the Pope is at variance with
God's laws?

16:43.270 --> 16:46.430
Then it were better to do without God's
laws than the Pope's.

16:48.050 --> 16:50.630
Well, young sir, what do you say to that?

16:52.570 --> 16:54.910
I defy the Pope and all his laws.

16:55.770 --> 17:00.370
If God spares my life, I will see to it
that a plowboy shall know more of the

17:00.370 --> 17:01.510
scriptures than you do.

17:11.310 --> 17:12.490
Forgive me, Lady Anne.

17:13.330 --> 17:16.830
I will not sit at table with blasphemers
and heretics.

17:17.410 --> 17:18.470
No more shall I.

17:18.730 --> 17:19.690
No, please wait.

17:22.330 --> 17:23.690
I will not spoil the meal.

17:23.910 --> 17:24.710
I shall go to my room.

17:24.970 --> 17:26.770
You will stay where you are.

17:27.650 --> 17:29.110
I will conduct you to my door.

17:29.910 --> 17:31.450
Your hospitality is renowned.

17:32.310 --> 17:35.330
Your table unsurpassed and we thank you
for your kindness.

17:36.750 --> 17:37.770
Take heed, young man.

17:38.270 --> 17:40.830
There are fires on earth and there are
fires in hell.

17:41.770 --> 17:44.690
Take care that the one is not needful to
spare you the other.

18:01.940 --> 18:03.040
Forgive me, Lady Anne.

18:03.980 --> 18:05.120
Oh, William.

18:08.460 --> 18:09.680
What can I say?

18:11.560 --> 18:15.380
If your life were not so above reproach,
it would be easy.

18:15.600 --> 18:17.160
No man's life is above reproach.

18:18.060 --> 18:19.360
But I am afraid.

18:21.460 --> 18:24.420
Afraid for you, for myself, my children.

18:25.240 --> 18:26.560
Is your position not secure?

18:28.060 --> 18:29.660
John is a friend of the King.

18:29.760 --> 18:31.580
At his coronation, he was his champion.

18:31.580 --> 18:34.300
But the King is ruled by many things.

18:35.080 --> 18:40.340
His council, his chancellor, his passions,
sight of his face in the looking-glass.

18:41.720 --> 18:43.200
Nobody is secure.

18:45.080 --> 18:46.400
Well done, young William.

18:47.220 --> 18:48.620
We are well rid of them.

18:48.860 --> 18:50.320
It was not my intention to...

18:50.320 --> 18:53.440
Don't tarnish it by telling me what your
intentions were.

18:57.590 --> 19:01.370
You have more learning in your little
finger than all those doctors could ever

19:01.370 --> 19:01.910
hope for.

19:02.670 --> 19:03.650
I was much amused.

19:06.510 --> 19:10.550
But the fox is now among the chickens,
and soon the feathers will fly.

19:11.170 --> 19:12.210
They will not forgive you.

19:12.870 --> 19:14.330
And I cannot promise you protection.

19:15.050 --> 19:17.850
Sir, would you have me leave?

19:18.210 --> 19:19.250
No, no, no.

19:20.070 --> 19:23.750
If you can defy the Pope himself,
I can defy a few untutored clerics.

19:24.450 --> 19:28.750
If your God would have you stay,
then I'll not bid you leave.

19:47.270 --> 19:49.030
How can I help you, young William?

19:49.390 --> 19:50.390
What troubles you?

19:52.270 --> 19:56.790
The scriptures speak with one voice,
but older men than I, and wiser,

19:57.030 --> 19:58.110
seem to speak with another.

19:58.490 --> 19:59.630
They are surely wrong.

20:00.490 --> 20:03.750
But make no mistake, not all within the
church are wrong.

20:04.930 --> 20:06.210
England has its witness.

20:07.410 --> 20:09.210
I wish that England had the scriptures.

20:10.030 --> 20:10.670
Then do it.

20:11.830 --> 20:13.170
It is within your gift.

20:13.690 --> 20:16.490
Within my gift, yet without the law.

20:17.010 --> 20:18.950
Unless you have the authority of a bishop.

20:19.670 --> 20:22.810
What bishop in England would defy the
authority of the Pope?

20:23.510 --> 20:24.130
There is none.

20:25.170 --> 20:28.050
But one at least is known to have
befriended Erasmus.

20:29.210 --> 20:30.250
Cuthbert Tunstall.

20:30.670 --> 20:32.270
Go to the Bishop of London.

20:32.950 --> 20:35.730
If God will have you prosper, then you
will prosper.

20:37.290 --> 20:38.810
But take care what you say.

20:39.410 --> 20:41.850
He has a broad mind, but others have not.

20:42.630 --> 20:47.670
If it is seen that you are of evangelical
persuasion, it could cost you dear.

20:50.230 --> 20:53.830
This is a letter of introduction to Sir
Henry Guildford, Comptroller of the King's

20:53.830 --> 20:54.190
Household.

20:54.590 --> 20:56.150
Do you wish to meet Bishop Tunstall?

20:56.270 --> 20:57.510
Sir John, I wish for nothing more.

20:58.290 --> 21:01.610
If he will only see me and grant me
license.

21:01.790 --> 21:02.570
See you he will.

21:03.230 --> 21:05.110
But Sir Henry cannot move the Bishop's
mind.

21:05.550 --> 21:06.270
You must do that.

21:07.090 --> 21:07.710
Thank you, Sir John.

21:08.430 --> 21:10.550
This is the address of my cousin Thomas
Points.

21:11.290 --> 21:14.730
His house is small, but you will be very
welcome until you find accommodation.

21:15.590 --> 21:17.250
In the Bishop's Palace, perhaps.

21:18.110 --> 21:19.130
You are very kind.

21:25.100 --> 21:28.200
You have brought joy to our house for the
past two years.

21:29.580 --> 21:31.100
Now it will seem very empty.

21:41.650 --> 21:42.710
God be with you, William.

22:04.240 --> 22:07.200
William, may I introduce Humphrey
Monmouth.

22:07.340 --> 22:09.100
Humphrey is a merchant and scripture man.

22:09.240 --> 22:11.920
William was tutored to my cousin's
children in Gloucestershire.

22:12.320 --> 22:13.540
Your good neighbor's gone before you.

22:14.360 --> 22:15.040
Where are you lodging?

22:15.400 --> 22:17.500
With Thomas and his wife, until I can find
a room.

22:17.940 --> 22:19.160
Then you need look no further.

22:19.980 --> 22:20.860
My house is large.

22:21.620 --> 22:23.720
Any man who preaches as well as you is
welcome in it.

22:35.820 --> 22:37.160
We are many, but careful.

22:38.120 --> 22:39.880
That man there, what do you see?

22:40.740 --> 22:42.220
A man with the strength of an ox.

22:42.500 --> 22:43.880
And the faith of a little child.

22:44.880 --> 22:45.160
Harry!

22:53.920 --> 22:55.200
Thomas talks of your purposes.

22:56.620 --> 22:58.040
Of your learning in Greek.

22:59.540 --> 23:01.320
That you would give the scriptures to
Englishmen.

23:01.320 --> 23:02.620
If God wills.

23:03.320 --> 23:05.580
Would God will that his word be not read?

23:06.620 --> 23:09.620
Wycliffe translated the scriptures,
but few in England have them.

23:11.020 --> 23:14.300
Perhaps God would have us hunger for his
word before he feeds us.

23:14.980 --> 23:16.100
The people are hungry now.

23:17.140 --> 23:17.340
Look.

23:27.780 --> 23:28.260
Luther.

23:29.760 --> 23:30.580
It is good.

23:31.440 --> 23:32.100
It is precious.

23:33.300 --> 23:34.480
And the word is in it.

23:35.300 --> 23:36.600
But it is not the word.

23:38.000 --> 23:39.200
Too many books come to England.

23:39.760 --> 23:40.320
Like this.

23:40.820 --> 23:42.620
Secretly, aye, by the score.

23:43.460 --> 23:44.880
But I say again, we are careful.

23:45.800 --> 23:46.760
Men have burned for less.

23:47.780 --> 23:48.520
Message, sir.

23:53.340 --> 23:54.300
William, it has come.

23:55.120 --> 23:56.060
Word from Tunstall.

23:56.760 --> 23:57.860
The bishop will see you tomorrow.

23:58.720 --> 23:59.520
Thank God.

24:01.060 --> 24:02.100
Perhaps you are right, Humphrey.

24:02.900 --> 24:04.620
Perhaps now the people are hungry enough.

24:18.710 --> 24:19.710
Ah, Tyndale.

24:19.830 --> 24:21.070
Come in, come in.

24:21.690 --> 24:22.350
Sit down.

24:24.110 --> 24:25.030
Thank you, your grace.

24:25.750 --> 24:27.650
Sir Harry Guilford has shown me this.

24:28.790 --> 24:32.290
A narration of Isocrates, translated from
Greek to Latin.

24:32.470 --> 24:32.870
It is yours?

24:33.810 --> 24:34.830
It is, your grace.

24:35.850 --> 24:37.610
It speaks well of your learning.

24:38.670 --> 24:41.890
As indeed, Sir Harry speaks well of your
conversation.

24:42.330 --> 24:43.170
Godly manner.

24:44.530 --> 24:45.930
What do you require of me?

24:47.010 --> 24:50.230
I would enter your employ as chaplain,
your grace.

24:50.390 --> 24:54.310
And pass your time in scholarly pursuits
and classical translations.

24:55.590 --> 24:59.150
You have a gift for language, I cannot
deny.

25:01.270 --> 25:05.150
What, may I ask, commends me to you?

25:06.750 --> 25:09.930
Erasmus speaks of you as the first
Englishman in Greek and Latin.

25:10.730 --> 25:13.930
It was through the Greek testament of
Erasmus that I found Christ.

25:14.150 --> 25:15.930
Then Erasmus should be commended.

25:16.370 --> 25:22.690
Tell me, if you were to be found in my
employ, what work of translation would you

25:22.690 --> 25:23.210
undertake?

25:23.890 --> 25:28.790
That of the testament, your grace,
from Greek to English.

25:30.450 --> 25:36.390
And for that you would require my
patronage, my episcopal authority.

25:37.170 --> 25:37.930
Yes, your grace.

25:39.050 --> 25:39.770
Yes.

25:41.770 --> 25:42.490
Hmm.

25:43.910 --> 25:45.350
A worthy work.

25:46.670 --> 25:50.490
Not every priest has the same gift for
language as you and I.

25:51.530 --> 25:55.010
And most would profit from an
understanding of the scriptures.

25:55.610 --> 25:59.750
I would wish that the testament be read by
everyone, and not by the clergy only.

26:00.810 --> 26:02.390
In time, perhaps.

26:03.190 --> 26:04.170
In time.

26:05.290 --> 26:07.910
Consider the seasons, young Tindale.

26:08.710 --> 26:10.170
How they change.

26:11.330 --> 26:16.870
Winter turns into summer slowly,
through the many shades of spring.

26:17.650 --> 26:19.910
The people are hungry for the word of
truth now.

26:20.350 --> 26:26.210
That same word of truth declares that meat
is not for babes, but for those who are

26:26.210 --> 26:27.650
strong enough to bear it.

26:28.630 --> 26:32.770
When the church has grown to manhood,
then shall we feed them.

26:33.230 --> 26:37.050
But the scripture also urges that we
should desire the sincere milk of the

26:37.050 --> 26:38.590
word, that we might grow thereby.

26:38.970 --> 26:42.230
We do not starve a baby of milk because it
cannot eat meat.

26:42.730 --> 26:46.690
You argue well, and I agree with much of
what you say.

26:47.630 --> 26:55.670
Moreover, there are many within the church
who would, I believe, welcome a gentle

26:55.670 --> 26:56.950
change.

26:59.250 --> 27:04.450
But you know, of course, of Wycliffe and
his Lollard followers.

27:05.350 --> 27:11.450
And you have considered well how the laity
took hold of scripture and used it to

27:11.450 --> 27:12.590
dishonor the church.

27:13.150 --> 27:15.150
I do not hold that the scripture...

27:15.150 --> 27:19.310
There was disorder, civil disobedience and
godlessness.

27:20.110 --> 27:22.650
The apostle said that God's word was quick
and powerful.

27:23.750 --> 27:28.050
And our Lord himself declared that he had
come to bring not peace, but a sword.

27:30.770 --> 27:33.270
I'm sorry, my house is full.

27:34.070 --> 27:36.930
I have already more people than I can
employ.

27:37.250 --> 27:37.430
What?

27:37.710 --> 27:43.130
However, I'm sure that if you look about
London, you will not fail to meet with

27:43.130 --> 27:44.410
suitable employment.

28:03.200 --> 28:04.400
Now, here's a question.

28:05.900 --> 28:06.100
William?

28:13.930 --> 28:15.130
William, you must work.

28:16.190 --> 28:16.890
To what end?

28:18.810 --> 28:19.950
I have amused you.

28:20.490 --> 28:21.270
You are a mere man.

28:21.690 --> 28:22.250
That is good.

28:22.910 --> 28:24.690
There have been times when I thought you
to be an angel.

28:26.410 --> 28:31.030
William, can the Bishop of London stand in
the way of God's will?

28:31.570 --> 28:32.930
What is God's will?

28:33.470 --> 28:34.430
His will is his command.

28:34.790 --> 28:37.310
And his command is that we shall preach
the gospel of Christ.

28:37.490 --> 28:40.550
It avails nothing if the word is offered
in a foreign tongue.

28:41.910 --> 28:43.730
There are other bishops with authority.

28:49.330 --> 28:49.850
Ecclesia.

28:51.210 --> 28:52.470
Those who are called out.

28:53.320 --> 28:53.610
Hmm.

28:54.790 --> 28:56.470
You have used the word congregation.

28:57.410 --> 28:57.930
Yes.

28:59.270 --> 29:01.090
Yet the meaning would signify church.

29:02.830 --> 29:06.630
And church would signify the multitude of
shaven, shorn, and oiled, which we now

29:06.630 --> 29:07.290
call the clergy.

29:09.250 --> 29:10.990
The word Ecclesia.

29:14.510 --> 29:15.090
Ecclesia...

29:17.030 --> 29:20.570
is common to all the congregation who
believe in Christ.

29:23.270 --> 29:24.090
Forgive me.

29:27.470 --> 29:28.310
Where are you going?

29:29.250 --> 29:30.770
To speak with Humphrey.

29:31.290 --> 29:33.070
He has made a protest to certain printers.

29:33.750 --> 29:35.190
You would print without a license?

29:35.570 --> 29:38.510
After Tunstall, there is none who would
grant it.

29:40.270 --> 29:43.010
Shall a mere license stand in the way of
God's will?

29:57.860 --> 29:59.240
I am grave, William.

30:00.460 --> 30:02.200
I pass the day talking to printers.

30:03.120 --> 30:04.480
Every man in London will print.

30:05.240 --> 30:06.620
I've been a nuisance to all of them.

30:07.500 --> 30:08.740
Are they all without faith?

30:08.980 --> 30:09.640
By no means.

30:10.420 --> 30:11.240
Some are with us.

30:12.920 --> 30:15.240
Not a man will print the scriptures
without authority.

30:16.840 --> 30:19.980
And if there'd be none in London,
there'd be none in England.

30:23.470 --> 30:25.470
Then I shall go to Germany and print it
there.

30:26.950 --> 30:29.790
If Luther's books can find their way to
England...

30:30.390 --> 30:31.830
so shall mine.

30:42.710 --> 30:43.510
Come, William.

30:43.650 --> 30:46.470
You've read it a dozen times or more and
still are not happy.

30:47.410 --> 30:49.510
That is because you are of a contentious
disposition.

30:51.010 --> 30:54.970
And because your translation argues with
itself whilst living most agreeably with

30:54.970 --> 30:55.350
the Greek.

30:56.130 --> 30:56.430
Come.

30:56.690 --> 30:57.890
Peter Quental is expecting us.

30:59.790 --> 31:02.330
How can it live most agreeably with the
Greek...

31:02.330 --> 31:05.030
when to one Greek word you ascribe several
English meanings?

31:05.810 --> 31:08.450
Why in one place does idou mean behold...

31:08.450 --> 31:10.270
and in another it means low?

31:10.950 --> 31:12.430
And yet again look or see?

31:12.610 --> 31:14.430
What Greek word would you use for behold?

31:14.990 --> 31:15.390
Idou.

31:15.710 --> 31:16.750
And for low?

31:17.570 --> 31:18.510
Well, idou.

31:18.550 --> 31:19.030
But...

31:19.030 --> 31:20.590
Would you choose differently for look?

31:20.690 --> 31:21.530
Were the sense the same?

31:22.110 --> 31:22.450
No.

31:22.590 --> 31:25.070
Then the translation is sound and the
reading of it enriched.

31:25.850 --> 31:28.510
If we are faithful to God's word,
we have no cause to worry those who would

31:28.510 --> 31:28.810
read it.

31:28.810 --> 31:31.650
The English have a language which is rich
and beautiful...

31:31.650 --> 31:33.070
and blessed with infinite varieties.

31:33.910 --> 31:35.490
Why then can we not use it all?

31:47.480 --> 31:48.860
Good morning, Herr Quental.

31:49.260 --> 31:51.260
If you say so, Mr Tyndale.

31:52.300 --> 31:54.180
Though I printed just this morning...

31:54.840 --> 31:58.080
that the days are evil so we should redeem
the time.

31:58.500 --> 31:59.600
You read my translation?

32:00.360 --> 32:01.740
I could scarce print it otherwise.

32:02.860 --> 32:06.640
It is an affliction I must bear if I would
pursue my trade.

32:07.140 --> 32:10.100
Mr Quental, every blessing is to you a
cause for complaint.

32:10.780 --> 32:12.360
Where is your morning's work?

32:12.760 --> 32:14.820
Under those sacks there, concealed.

32:16.020 --> 32:20.380
If you want your books displayed,
you should work in Hamburg, not Cologne.

32:20.980 --> 32:22.180
And rob you of good trade?

32:22.560 --> 32:23.680
Or Wittenberg.

32:24.400 --> 32:28.600
There are many cities in Germany which
would welcome your heresies.

32:28.600 --> 32:31.140
I stayed nigh over a year in Hamburg...

32:31.140 --> 32:33.780
and Wittenberg was where I met my good and
faithful friend, William Roy.

32:34.200 --> 32:34.820
Good day to you, sir.

32:35.880 --> 32:38.720
The heresy of which you speak is the
gospel of Christ.

32:39.060 --> 32:40.220
So you say, sir.

32:41.460 --> 32:43.560
But I shall trust my priest.

32:44.440 --> 32:48.600
He is, like me, a good craftsman who
charges little.

32:49.440 --> 32:52.860
And Christ is the master craftsman whose
work is offered free.

32:55.020 --> 32:56.280
Are these now finished?

32:56.720 --> 32:57.580
But not dry, sir.

32:57.580 --> 32:58.180
Oh.

33:01.740 --> 33:02.420
Hmm.

33:03.460 --> 33:04.380
It reads well.

33:05.800 --> 33:12.980
Though I speak with the tongues of men and
angels and yet had no love, I were even as

33:12.980 --> 33:16.480
a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.

33:17.200 --> 33:21.340
And though I could prophesy and understood
all secrets and all knowledge,

33:22.260 --> 33:28.380
yea, if I had all faith so that I could
move mountains out of their places and yet

33:28.380 --> 33:30.600
had no love, I were nothing.

33:32.280 --> 33:37.680
And though I bestowed all my goods to feed
the poor, and though I gave my body even

33:37.680 --> 33:42.820
that I burnt and yet have no love,
it profiteth me nothing.

33:44.380 --> 33:47.560
Love suffereth long and is courteous.

33:48.460 --> 33:49.920
Love envieth not.

33:50.940 --> 33:57.520
Love doth not frowardly, swelleth not,
dealeth not dishonestly, seeketh not her

33:57.520 --> 34:03.220
own, is not provoked to anger,
thinketh not evil, rejoiceth not in

34:03.220 --> 34:10.280
iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth,
suffereth all things, believeth all

34:10.280 --> 34:14.000
things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things.

34:15.140 --> 34:20.180
Though the prophesying's fail,
other tongues shall cease or knowledge

34:20.180 --> 34:24.860
vanisheth away, yet love falleth never
away.

34:26.040 --> 34:31.020
For our knowledge is imperfect,
and our prophesying is imperfect.

34:32.120 --> 34:37.760
But when that which is perfect is come,
then that which is imperfect shall be done

34:37.760 --> 34:38.080
away.

34:39.620 --> 34:47.400
When I was a child, I imagined as a child,
that as soon as I was a man, I put away

34:47.400 --> 34:48.520
all childishness.

34:50.460 --> 34:57.980
Now we see in a glass, even in a dark
speaking, but then shall we see face to

34:57.980 --> 34:58.400
face.

34:59.880 --> 35:07.000
Now I know imperfectly, but then shall I
know even as I am known.

35:08.200 --> 35:18.000
Now abideth faith, hope, and love,
even these three, but the chief of these

35:18.000 --> 35:19.600
is love.

35:23.380 --> 35:28.380
Senator Rinker, I fled Frankfurt because
the heretics there were running wild.

35:29.480 --> 35:31.480
Forgive me if I seem a little nervous.

35:31.840 --> 35:32.360
Nervous?

35:32.640 --> 35:33.320
Of me?

35:33.820 --> 35:36.940
I have an aged mother and a small niece
still in Frankfurt.

35:37.420 --> 35:38.700
You need not fear for them.

35:39.640 --> 35:41.040
This is Cologne, Hecocchius.

35:41.720 --> 35:43.760
We have been spared the Lutheran madness.

35:44.720 --> 35:47.420
And so long as there's breath in my body,
so shall we be.

35:48.140 --> 35:51.580
Now tell me, what is this that you have
learned?

35:52.760 --> 35:54.900
Two Englishmen are here in this city.

35:56.280 --> 35:58.680
This is the work on which they are
engaged.

36:00.860 --> 36:02.060
Fine craftsmanship.

36:02.660 --> 36:03.520
What is it?

36:04.200 --> 36:07.160
It is a letter of St. Paul to the
Corinthians.

36:08.260 --> 36:11.060
I found this sample in the printing works
of Peter Quintel.

36:11.400 --> 36:12.120
By chance?

36:12.760 --> 36:16.300
By chance, I spoke with certain employees
of Herr Quintel.

36:16.300 --> 36:20.260
And one with a little too much wine who
was indiscreet.

36:20.700 --> 36:21.760
How indiscreet?

36:22.100 --> 36:27.180
He said that whether the King and Cardinal
of York wish it or not, all England will

36:27.180 --> 36:28.180
soon be Lutheran.

36:28.640 --> 36:28.960
England?

36:30.080 --> 36:30.480
Never!

36:30.840 --> 36:34.860
He said that soon every Englishman will
have the scriptures in their native tongue

36:34.860 --> 36:36.800
and they will have them from Cologne.

36:37.420 --> 36:38.420
That they will not!

36:39.180 --> 36:41.380
Where is this printing works of Peter
Quintel?

36:46.760 --> 36:48.860
Well, we are minutes early to be gone.

36:49.280 --> 36:49.900
Away from here.

36:50.440 --> 36:51.080
Why, what's happened?

36:51.440 --> 36:52.080
They have found us.

36:53.340 --> 36:54.260
Hurry, we must go.

36:54.800 --> 36:55.580
Who has found us?

36:56.460 --> 36:57.140
Hermann Rinker.

36:57.960 --> 36:59.000
Then who has betrayed us?

36:59.500 --> 37:00.480
It matters not.

37:02.800 --> 37:04.720
But, but the books, the manuscripts!

37:05.080 --> 37:05.860
We must go to the printing!

37:06.440 --> 37:07.640
I have all we need.

37:08.120 --> 37:08.320
Hurry!

37:09.900 --> 37:11.280
They are at the very doors.

37:19.900 --> 37:21.720
Please, upside, under the sacks.

37:22.180 --> 37:23.680
And you, do the same with those.

37:24.020 --> 37:24.880
And hurry, please!

37:25.060 --> 37:26.200
There isn't very much time.

37:26.340 --> 37:28.420
There is no time at all, Herr Quintel.

37:28.640 --> 37:31.280
Please, leave everything as it is.

37:38.540 --> 37:44.280
So, Herr Quintel, who commissioned this,
this perfidious work?

37:47.000 --> 37:51.340
Herr Quintel, is not the loss of your
trade enough?

37:53.160 --> 37:55.260
Would you also lose your liberty?

37:58.380 --> 38:00.600
Perhaps, perhaps your life.

38:02.020 --> 38:03.400
His name is William Tyndale.

38:04.600 --> 38:05.820
William Tyndale.

38:24.510 --> 38:30.270
Suddenly, Wolsey, suddenly, not subtly or
insidiously, but suddenly, we have the

38:30.270 --> 38:32.930
scriptures in English everywhere.

38:35.210 --> 38:38.210
Suddenly, Wolsey, we have a rage of
bishops.

38:40.390 --> 38:43.530
Suddenly, Wolsey, we hear of the world's
end.

38:44.690 --> 38:46.210
And I am not told of it.

38:47.570 --> 38:48.030
Why?

38:48.970 --> 38:51.210
Is it because I am only the king?

38:52.230 --> 38:54.290
Is my majesty so light a thing?

38:55.430 --> 38:57.790
Who is William Tyndale?

38:58.390 --> 39:00.810
Some low-born priest, sir.

39:01.310 --> 39:07.770
And is this the same low-born priest of
whom my ambassador to Spain warned me 12

39:07.770 --> 39:08.330
months since?

39:08.830 --> 39:09.270
Yes.

39:09.630 --> 39:15.810
And is this the same low-born priest who
it is said had undertaken to translate the

39:15.810 --> 39:16.570
whole of scripture?

39:17.410 --> 39:18.690
The same.

39:19.070 --> 39:22.410
And where is my command that he be found
and stopped?

39:22.990 --> 39:30.390
I have men, even now, in France and
Germany and Flanders, who have not paused

39:30.390 --> 39:33.470
in their search for him without success.

39:33.750 --> 39:35.810
He moves from place to place.

39:35.910 --> 39:40.130
Oh, printing the scriptures on the back of
a traveling mule, perhaps, eh,

39:40.130 --> 39:40.370
Thomas?

39:41.810 --> 39:45.290
It is not a subject for jest, sir.

39:46.590 --> 39:49.050
You tell me it is no jest.

39:50.070 --> 39:55.390
What blind, half-witted man have you
commissioned to make the search?

39:55.550 --> 39:56.310
John Hackett.

39:56.590 --> 39:57.690
Oh, John Hackett!

39:58.150 --> 40:00.490
And where has John Hackett looked?

40:00.790 --> 40:03.570
Wherever Tyndale has been cited or word of
him reported.

40:04.270 --> 40:08.070
Hamburg, Cologne, Worms, Marburg,
even Wittenberg.

40:08.850 --> 40:09.490
Wittenberg?

40:09.770 --> 40:10.410
Yes.

40:10.470 --> 40:11.470
He's in league with Luther.

40:11.910 --> 40:13.490
Without question.

40:14.250 --> 40:15.510
Then he's indeed a heretic.

40:15.510 --> 40:18.010
You will find him and you will burn his
books.

40:18.610 --> 40:20.050
You will arrest him and bring him to me.

40:20.750 --> 40:21.490
Come, Thomas.

40:21.710 --> 40:22.790
I want to talk to you.

40:42.070 --> 40:46.070
Have you come to play?

40:46.410 --> 40:48.410
No, Anne, I have come to talk.

40:49.190 --> 40:50.310
You would do better to play.

40:50.530 --> 40:52.030
Your brow has a solemn line to it.

40:52.030 --> 40:53.730
The world is a solemn place.

40:54.370 --> 40:54.990
Go on, go on.

40:55.030 --> 40:55.370
You play.

40:55.450 --> 40:56.750
I shall watch and be amused.

40:59.730 --> 41:01.530
Her youth and beauty touch me.

41:02.010 --> 41:03.010
So much is evident.

41:03.490 --> 41:04.530
And her nature, too.

41:04.970 --> 41:08.670
Her smile, her laughter, her innocence.

41:10.210 --> 41:12.070
They do nothing for you, Thomas.

41:12.630 --> 41:14.670
Were I to let them, I am a married man.

41:14.730 --> 41:15.470
Am I not?

41:16.230 --> 41:17.390
You seek to reprove me.

41:17.770 --> 41:21.350
It is not my place to reprove any,
save myself, which I do often.

41:21.350 --> 41:22.210
I also.

41:22.510 --> 41:24.270
But a shirt of hair would make me itch.

41:24.270 --> 41:26.510
And it is hardly seemly for a king to be a
scratchy.

41:26.610 --> 41:28.390
Would you reprove me for my shirt of hair?

41:28.530 --> 41:30.530
I merely wish you would cease from
scratching.

41:30.850 --> 41:33.570
It is no more seemly for a privy
counsellor than it is for a king.

41:34.030 --> 41:37.370
What of this man Tyndale's testament?

41:37.890 --> 41:39.050
Is the translation sound?

41:39.390 --> 41:40.630
It has errors in it.

41:40.970 --> 41:42.190
Tunstall would say three thousand.

41:42.330 --> 41:43.330
How he can tell, I know not.

41:43.370 --> 41:44.430
He does not have so many fingers.

41:44.570 --> 41:45.870
The errors are not so many.

41:46.390 --> 41:48.770
But the book is evil.

41:49.730 --> 41:50.910
Evil will come of it.

41:50.910 --> 41:51.630
Why?

41:52.710 --> 41:54.490
Oh, come, Thomas, you are my friend.

41:54.850 --> 41:56.630
I repay your honesty with mine own.

41:57.230 --> 42:01.110
In all my ignorance and folly,
I cannot see how a mere volume can cause

42:01.110 --> 42:01.830
so much hurt.

42:02.710 --> 42:05.990
Men will think, having the scriptures,
that they have the truth.

42:06.290 --> 42:07.210
But this is an illusion.

42:07.770 --> 42:09.510
Will you say the scriptures are not truth?

42:09.690 --> 42:10.430
Oh, they are.

42:10.770 --> 42:11.810
But they are like a chart.

42:12.670 --> 42:16.650
And though a man have a seaworthy vessel
and a chart in his own tongue,

42:17.650 --> 42:21.910
if he does not have a sailor's knowledge
to interpret the chart, his vessel is

42:21.910 --> 42:22.250
lost.

42:23.490 --> 42:25.030
Scripture is a weighty matter.

42:26.010 --> 42:29.110
Men need the wise counsels of the church
to understand it.

42:29.210 --> 42:32.890
But you read me, Thomas, in Greek and
Latin, which are as familiar to you as

42:32.890 --> 42:33.350
English.

42:33.630 --> 42:35.010
Do you understand them?

42:35.850 --> 42:36.730
In part.

42:37.070 --> 42:37.790
In part?

42:37.890 --> 42:38.510
In part?

42:38.970 --> 42:40.170
But you asked Sir Thomas More.

42:40.570 --> 42:43.910
If you should only understand in part,
where is the man who would understand in

42:43.910 --> 42:44.190
full?

42:44.710 --> 42:46.070
Perhaps there is no man.

42:46.830 --> 42:49.250
But the full body of the church...

42:49.250 --> 42:49.970
Well, that's...

42:49.970 --> 42:53.750
I have a problem with Catherine,
my wife, who can bear me no child.

42:53.810 --> 42:56.770
I have a problem with Anne Boleyn,
who can bear me a son and heir to the

42:56.770 --> 42:58.830
English throne, but I cannot take up a
wife.

42:59.310 --> 43:01.390
And such matters are not within the
compass of my scholarship.

43:01.390 --> 43:04.930
And I have a problem with Moses,
who wrote in the scripture that if a man

43:04.930 --> 43:07.610
should take his brother's wife,
it is an unclean thing and they should be

43:07.610 --> 43:08.010
childless.

43:08.150 --> 43:13.150
Well, I took my brother's wife and I am
without a son.

43:14.750 --> 43:16.390
How would you interpret the scriptures?

43:16.950 --> 43:18.190
I am not a theologian.

43:18.750 --> 43:21.830
You are a scholar, Thomas, who is learning
a second to none.

43:22.030 --> 43:24.270
How should I, I, interpret the scriptures?

43:24.850 --> 43:29.530
I would counsel you to seek the opinion of
learned doctors, even of His Holiness the

43:29.530 --> 43:29.770
Pope.

43:30.070 --> 43:30.690
The Pope!

43:33.450 --> 43:36.170
How do you think William Tyndale would
answer?

43:37.350 --> 43:39.090
That's... you must ask him.

43:40.190 --> 43:42.290
There is much I would ask him.

43:43.250 --> 43:44.370
I want him found.

43:50.520 --> 43:51.600
I am a merchant, William.

43:52.000 --> 43:53.160
My business brings me here.

43:54.060 --> 43:56.700
By what good providence should commerce
bring you to Marburg?

43:56.960 --> 43:59.020
I looked for you and I found you.

44:00.100 --> 44:03.780
And if I, it could be that John Hackett
and all the king's agents are not far

44:03.780 --> 44:04.200
behind.

44:04.720 --> 44:06.520
You found me, Humphrey, because you're my
friend.

44:07.340 --> 44:09.220
And known as such, and because God wills
it.

44:11.140 --> 44:12.360
But what news do you bring?

44:12.920 --> 44:13.880
Good and bad.

44:15.020 --> 44:16.940
A new testament is spread throughout all
England.

44:17.740 --> 44:21.420
But everywhere it is burned at the express
command of Wolsey and the king.

44:22.160 --> 44:24.080
In burning it, they are doing only what I
expected.

44:25.020 --> 44:26.660
So shall they if they burn me too.

44:27.380 --> 44:30.380
If they find you, William, they will burn
you too.

44:31.380 --> 44:34.080
For men like us, England is not a happy
place to be.

44:43.960 --> 44:45.680
Come on, get wood!

44:48.660 --> 44:49.780
Come on!

45:13.150 --> 45:18.690
John Frith, I am unhappy that you of all
men should treat me ill.

45:19.650 --> 45:23.630
Look, Cardinal, it is I who am brought
from a dungeon.

45:24.430 --> 45:28.070
Did I treat you ill, or is it the other
way about?

45:28.650 --> 45:33.790
I set you in my own college here in Oxford
to work for the glory of God.

45:33.810 --> 45:40.850
And before God, and this company,
I declare that such is my only goal.

45:41.990 --> 45:48.450
If such is your goal, why do you journey
down a path that leads to perdition?

45:51.210 --> 45:51.990
Luther's heresy!

45:53.910 --> 45:54.850
Tyndale's heresy!

45:55.110 --> 45:57.990
The new testament of our Lord Christ is
not heresy, my Lord Cardinal.

45:58.890 --> 46:06.070
It is a translation unlawfully made by a
poor scholar whose heart is far from the

46:06.070 --> 46:06.950
grace of God.

46:07.190 --> 46:13.150
It is a true translation, faithfully made
by one of the finest Greek scholars of our

46:13.150 --> 46:13.490
age.

46:14.130 --> 46:17.550
A man whose heart bears the stamp of
Christ himself.

46:18.670 --> 46:21.170
And this you know.

46:21.650 --> 46:22.530
This I know.

46:23.410 --> 46:29.870
Then, seeing you know the man so well,
perhaps you will persuade him to come

46:29.870 --> 46:33.070
before us and answer certain questions.

46:34.650 --> 46:39.930
Of his whereabouts I know nothing,
other than that he is abroad.

46:41.490 --> 46:46.590
John Frith, are you aware that in this
realm I am the Pope's representative?

46:47.360 --> 46:53.350
That I make all decisions concerning
religion as though I were the Pope.

46:53.770 --> 46:55.810
I know that God has given us the
scriptures.

46:57.330 --> 47:00.910
Decide what you will, my Lord,
but I shall stick with them.

47:01.730 --> 47:04.210
Take him away, I'll have no more of this.

47:12.480 --> 47:16.940
Would God that I had my hands on Tyndale's
scrawny neck!

47:18.000 --> 47:21.300
It is everywhere, from the highest to the
lowest.

47:22.140 --> 47:24.180
The more we burn, the more they appear.

47:25.300 --> 47:29.700
And now this, the obedience of the
Christian man.

47:31.140 --> 47:33.460
It is a plague and an infection.

47:33.960 --> 47:34.420
Yes.

47:34.640 --> 47:40.860
So, if fire will not destroy this heresy,
then your pen must.

47:41.280 --> 47:46.240
Your grace, the law will not permit me to
read heresy, much less debate it.

47:46.240 --> 47:49.120
Let us not play games, Thomas.

47:49.620 --> 47:51.820
You have a license to read whatever you
will.

47:54.580 --> 48:01.380
Moreover, I myself will pay you five
thousand pounds to make an answer.

48:01.840 --> 48:03.420
Five thousand pounds?

48:03.940 --> 48:06.620
Why, I could live like a prince for
several lifetimes.

48:07.040 --> 48:08.460
I shall see to it.

48:10.760 --> 48:15.920
No, I shall take up my pen against Tyndale
for the glory of God and his church.

48:16.800 --> 48:18.920
And I will not take a penny for it.

48:21.500 --> 48:25.540
If you believe the promises, then God's
truth justifies you.

48:25.920 --> 48:29.080
That is, forgives your sins and seals you
with his Holy Spirit.

48:29.780 --> 48:34.980
If you have true faith, so will you see
the exceeding and infinite love and mercy

48:34.980 --> 48:35.840
which God has...

48:37.200 --> 48:37.800
Anne!

48:38.900 --> 48:39.400
Come in.

48:58.370 --> 49:00.290
I thought you would stay forever.

49:00.650 --> 49:02.870
Richard, you must not be here.

49:02.870 --> 49:05.590
My mistress and the king is with her.

49:05.610 --> 49:06.950
They're gone, they're gone.

49:07.110 --> 49:09.730
But they may return and if they should
find you...

49:09.730 --> 49:11.510
Just one kiss, that's all I ask.

49:11.750 --> 49:12.550
But Richard...

49:12.550 --> 49:16.030
Just one kiss and I'll hold this book to
ransom.

49:16.310 --> 49:17.250
Give it to me.

49:17.290 --> 49:18.030
Just one kiss.

49:18.430 --> 49:20.110
The book is Lady Anne's secret.

49:21.190 --> 49:23.570
Go, hide yourself now.

49:26.830 --> 49:28.330
Come, you must help me dress.

49:28.630 --> 49:29.790
The king is going to take me riding.

50:08.390 --> 50:11.030
John, may God be praised.

50:12.010 --> 50:14.050
Come in, come in.

50:18.210 --> 50:19.350
How did you escape?

50:19.450 --> 50:20.170
Not escape, brother.

50:20.530 --> 50:21.390
We were set at liberty.

50:21.890 --> 50:24.150
I, Betz, Sumner, Bradley, others...

50:24.150 --> 50:24.830
Set free?

50:25.330 --> 50:27.350
Has the good lord touched the cardinal's
heart?

50:27.390 --> 50:29.730
Woolsey, he could no more bear the stench
of death.

50:30.010 --> 50:32.010
And his cause is delicate enough these
days.

50:32.030 --> 50:32.670
So I've heard.

50:32.950 --> 50:35.270
And too many scholars have already died at
his hand.

50:35.330 --> 50:36.190
But enough, I'm free.

50:36.690 --> 50:38.090
God has dealt kindly with me.

50:38.590 --> 50:39.650
Tell me news of William.

50:39.830 --> 50:40.630
You saw him.

50:40.790 --> 50:44.710
Aye, he is well in mind and body and
filled with the spirit.

50:45.370 --> 50:47.150
Though all the continent seems to do him
harm.

50:47.390 --> 50:48.790
Yes, and the work?

50:49.190 --> 50:49.750
Goes well.

50:50.510 --> 50:52.850
Soon we shall have the books of Moses,
if God wills it.

50:53.370 --> 50:54.090
I must go to him.

50:54.970 --> 50:55.330
Now?

50:55.630 --> 50:56.670
Yes, as soon as I am able.

50:57.350 --> 50:58.770
If you've found him, then so shall I.

50:59.070 --> 50:59.730
But why?

51:00.090 --> 51:01.430
There is work yet to be done here.

51:01.550 --> 51:02.830
None that is so important.

51:03.430 --> 51:04.330
And what can I do here?

51:04.650 --> 51:05.970
I dare not utter a single word.

51:06.690 --> 51:08.210
You must be careful, aye, but...

51:08.210 --> 51:08.450
Careful?

51:09.150 --> 51:13.070
Men, women, children, all, from the
highest to the lowest, are arrested and

51:13.070 --> 51:14.870
burned for reading and believing the
truth.

51:15.350 --> 51:16.430
Much less for uttering it.

51:33.930 --> 51:37.430
We must examine the teachings of the
church by scripture.

51:39.170 --> 51:43.330
But understand the scripture by means of
what the church says.

51:44.390 --> 51:50.470
You ask, if the air gives light to the
sun, or the sun to the air, is the gospel

51:50.470 --> 51:52.530
before the church, or the church before
the gospel?

52:01.810 --> 52:06.610
Is the church before the gospel,
or the gospel before the church?

52:12.640 --> 52:18.040
I tell you, the Romish church from which
the Lutherans came out was before them,

52:19.000 --> 52:20.720
and therefore is the right one.

52:24.760 --> 52:25.740
Who are you?

52:25.960 --> 52:26.560
What do you want?

52:56.230 --> 53:00.170
What letters and books have you lately
received from abroad?

53:01.030 --> 53:01.330
Lately?

53:02.770 --> 53:03.050
None.

53:04.650 --> 53:05.450
Very well.

53:07.050 --> 53:10.330
What aid have you given to any persons
living on the continent?

53:10.870 --> 53:13.230
None, for more than three years.

53:15.310 --> 53:17.710
William Tyndale aboded me six months.

53:18.450 --> 53:20.170
His life was what a good priest should be.

53:21.230 --> 53:24.230
I gave him ten pounds when he left,
but nothing since.

53:24.870 --> 53:26.110
Where is Tyndale now?

53:26.590 --> 53:27.310
I do not know.

53:28.150 --> 53:32.150
In the course of trade, I met him once in
Marburg, some months since.

53:32.150 --> 53:33.950
But he departed then soon after.

53:34.030 --> 53:35.810
So you have news of him?

53:36.450 --> 53:39.470
Only that he was shipwrecked and all his
works were lost.

53:40.750 --> 53:42.190
Where he is now, I cannot tell.

53:43.350 --> 53:44.830
And Miles Coverdale?

53:46.410 --> 53:50.870
Is it not true that even now Coverdale is
somewhere collaborating with Tyndale in

53:50.870 --> 53:52.230
translating the books of Moses?

53:53.030 --> 53:54.430
I know nothing of Coverdale.

53:55.830 --> 53:58.530
If what you say is true, then you are
better informed than I.

54:00.850 --> 54:02.270
And what of these?

54:03.530 --> 54:06.310
They have been openly on my table for more
than two years.

54:07.110 --> 54:11.110
I have never heard that any priest,
or friar, or layman learnt any great error

54:11.110 --> 54:11.550
from them.

54:12.330 --> 54:17.930
You cannot put a dry stick in the fire
without its burning, nor can you nourish a

54:17.930 --> 54:20.110
snake in your vest without its biting you.

54:21.270 --> 54:26.210
You stand accused of having maintained
those who are translating the scriptures

54:26.210 --> 54:31.370
into English, of having bought Martin
Luther's tracts, of having imported them

54:31.370 --> 54:36.730
into the kingdom, and lastly, of having
said that faith alone is sufficient to

54:36.730 --> 54:37.450
save a man.

54:39.170 --> 54:41.930
What is your defence and plea?

54:44.270 --> 54:45.770
None of this will I deny.

54:48.510 --> 54:51.910
I have no defence, but I will plead.

54:54.030 --> 54:55.210
I am a merchant.

54:56.110 --> 54:59.890
What will become of my workmen if I am
cast into prison or burnt?

55:00.750 --> 55:02.970
They must have money every week,
and who is to pay them?

55:05.570 --> 55:09.270
Also consider that my trade brings in
large sums to His Majesty's customs.

55:10.150 --> 55:12.590
If I am not here, that commerce will stop.

55:20.620 --> 55:21.600
Set him free.

55:26.270 --> 55:27.830
Tread carefully, merchants.

55:56.680 --> 56:02.080
The apostles taught by mouth many of the
things they did not write, in order that

56:02.080 --> 56:04.860
they should not come into the hands of the
mocking heathen.

56:05.500 --> 56:10.300
You ask whence comes penance, praying to
saints, and purgatory.

56:17.860 --> 56:23.460
I marvel that you should deny purgatory,
Mr. Tyndale, except it be a plain point

56:23.460 --> 56:24.800
that you go straight to hell.

56:25.680 --> 56:28.800
And you say you love this boy.

56:29.040 --> 56:30.520
I do indeed, my lord.

56:34.480 --> 56:39.320
Then let it be said her love for you,
together with my love for the Lady Anne,

56:40.400 --> 56:42.080
have conspired to save you.

56:42.860 --> 56:47.560
For if petition from each had not come
before me, you would be nothing but

56:47.560 --> 56:49.580
kindling for Wolsey's fires.

56:49.980 --> 56:52.700
I am most humbly and deeply grateful,
my lord.

56:53.980 --> 56:55.200
And so you should be.

56:56.140 --> 56:57.020
Now go.

56:57.220 --> 56:57.660
Yes, sir.

57:00.680 --> 57:02.880
And read no more heresies!

57:03.440 --> 57:04.060
My lord.

57:05.940 --> 57:09.140
So then, what is the volume that so nearly
cost a boy?

57:09.620 --> 57:10.580
This, my lord.

57:11.220 --> 57:12.280
Read some to me.

57:16.120 --> 57:19.280
Kings must make account of their doings
only to God.

57:20.160 --> 57:23.040
No person can be exempt from this
ordinance of God.

57:23.780 --> 57:27.900
Neither can the profession of monks and
friars, or anything that the popes and

57:27.900 --> 57:31.700
bishops can lay for themselves,
except them from the sword of the king,

57:31.820 --> 57:32.880
if they break the laws.

57:33.440 --> 57:38.540
For it is written, let every soul submit
himself unto the authority of the higher

57:38.540 --> 57:39.020
powers.

57:39.140 --> 57:39.540
Excellent!

57:39.700 --> 57:42.280
This is truly a book for kings to read,
and for me particularly.

57:42.620 --> 57:43.460
Now, who wrote this?

57:43.700 --> 57:44.680
William Tyndale.

57:47.100 --> 57:49.380
Then I shall read it, and we will talk
some more.

57:51.000 --> 57:51.400
Tyndale.

57:52.560 --> 57:54.160
Would that he were by my side in these
times.

57:55.580 --> 57:56.600
He must be found.

58:42.630 --> 58:43.770
Thank you, my lord.

58:54.530 --> 58:55.770
You are Stephen Vaughan?

58:57.330 --> 58:57.810
Yes.

58:58.110 --> 58:59.810
And you carry letters from the king of
England?

59:00.250 --> 59:00.890
Who are you?

59:01.710 --> 59:04.990
I have been sent by someone who calls
himself a friend of yours.

59:05.650 --> 59:08.190
Someone who desires very much to speak
with you.

59:08.530 --> 59:09.230
Who is this friend?

59:09.650 --> 59:10.090
Where is he?

59:10.790 --> 59:11.930
I do not know him.

59:12.750 --> 59:14.930
But if you come with me, you will see for
yourself.

59:16.730 --> 59:18.130
Why should I trust you?

59:18.350 --> 59:19.130
Why should you not?

59:20.010 --> 59:21.090
Why should I deceive you?

59:22.550 --> 59:24.590
That is a question I should ask.

59:25.210 --> 59:30.790
Your friend says you have been here in
Antwerp four long months and accomplished

59:30.790 --> 59:31.230
nothing.

59:32.130 --> 59:33.070
How does he know this?

59:33.430 --> 59:35.070
He has many friends here in the city.

59:35.870 --> 59:40.330
He asked me to tell you that you can stay
for another four and twenty.

59:40.630 --> 59:42.090
Except that you follow me.

59:46.730 --> 59:48.210
I have no pay for my ale.

59:49.010 --> 59:49.670
It will be done.

01:00:51.640 --> 01:00:53.060
Do you not know who I am?

01:00:55.140 --> 01:00:56.480
I am William Tyndale.

01:01:04.050 --> 01:01:05.890
The king would have you return to England.

01:01:06.710 --> 01:01:08.070
The king does not know what he asks.

01:01:08.790 --> 01:01:10.350
I can offer only the word of God.

01:01:10.510 --> 01:01:12.730
Small comfort to a man who would put away
his wife.

01:01:13.350 --> 01:01:14.810
Whether he be king or commoner.

01:01:15.090 --> 01:01:16.070
But his quarrel with Rome...

01:01:16.070 --> 01:01:16.870
Is not my quarrel.

01:01:17.310 --> 01:01:20.190
But if you have a common enemy,
what does it matter if you have not a

01:01:20.190 --> 01:01:22.630
common core, so long as that enemy is
vanquished?

01:01:22.950 --> 01:01:24.450
The king's mind is for Rome.

01:01:24.590 --> 01:01:25.690
His heart is for Anne Boleyn.

01:01:25.770 --> 01:01:26.870
His quarrel is with himself.

01:01:27.550 --> 01:01:31.770
For me, heart and mind, I must care only
for the word of God.

01:01:32.270 --> 01:01:34.890
Then use the occasion for the word of God.

01:01:35.390 --> 01:01:36.230
Come to England.

01:01:37.210 --> 01:01:39.750
I have warned his majesty of the subtle
ways of the clergy.

01:01:40.410 --> 01:01:42.090
I am a loyal subject of the king.

01:01:42.130 --> 01:01:42.930
I want him to know this.

01:01:43.470 --> 01:01:44.790
Then come to England.

01:01:46.010 --> 01:01:51.530
Here I suffer hunger, thirst, cold,
the bitter absence from my friends,

01:01:52.210 --> 01:01:53.790
hardship and continual danger.

01:01:53.790 --> 01:01:58.450
But believe me, these matter nothing to me
if I do honor to God, true service to the

01:01:58.450 --> 01:02:00.290
king, and am of good worth to his people.

01:02:00.450 --> 01:02:02.430
God knows I am not afraid to die.

01:02:03.510 --> 01:02:04.210
Be with Christ.

01:02:05.950 --> 01:02:09.530
How shall my work prosper if I am tied to
a stake and burned?

01:02:10.530 --> 01:02:11.990
You will be safe.

01:02:13.030 --> 01:02:14.250
Say as much to Wolsey.

01:02:15.050 --> 01:02:16.490
Wolsey is dead.

01:02:17.050 --> 01:02:19.030
And Cromwell favors you.

01:02:19.910 --> 01:02:21.010
And Thomas More is chancellor.

01:02:21.710 --> 01:02:23.450
I will gladly lose an arm to gain my neck.

01:02:23.790 --> 01:02:27.310
Ask what guarantees you will, and the king
will grant them.

01:02:27.590 --> 01:02:29.170
Such promises need not bind him.

01:02:30.010 --> 01:02:32.790
For the clergy will persuade him that I am
an heretic.

01:02:34.310 --> 01:02:35.670
So you will not return?

01:02:39.830 --> 01:02:41.070
But I cannot.

01:02:44.210 --> 01:02:48.390
If I am unable to persuade you,
why then did you agree to meet me?

01:02:48.730 --> 01:02:50.370
To attest my loyalty to the king.

01:02:51.610 --> 01:02:52.990
And to ask you to give him these.

01:02:54.550 --> 01:02:55.890
That he might read them.

01:02:57.330 --> 01:02:58.150
The night is drawing in.

01:02:58.710 --> 01:02:59.870
Soon the city gates will close.

01:03:01.290 --> 01:03:03.330
We must go our separate ways.

01:03:05.570 --> 01:03:06.650
Shall we meet again?

01:03:08.070 --> 01:03:09.130
God be with you.

01:03:25.170 --> 01:03:26.250
Secretary Cromwell.

01:03:27.150 --> 01:03:31.570
Declare unto your majesty what in my poor
judgment I think of the man.

01:03:32.150 --> 01:03:35.930
I do assure your grace that I have never
spoken with a man who is more...

01:03:35.930 --> 01:03:37.830
I don't want to know what he thinks of
him, Cromwell.

01:03:38.410 --> 01:03:39.890
Vaughan thinks too well of him by heart.

01:03:40.530 --> 01:03:42.330
I have read this all.

01:03:44.030 --> 01:03:46.190
Tyndale's disputation against my lord
chancellor.

01:03:46.230 --> 01:03:49.750
I tell you this, it's full of lies,
sedition and calumny.

01:03:50.490 --> 01:03:52.550
Then your majesty has changed his opinion.

01:03:53.370 --> 01:03:55.630
My majesty has indeed.

01:03:56.150 --> 01:03:58.070
Listen to this, this report from your
agent.

01:03:58.390 --> 01:04:00.470
This is what Tyndale would say to me,
to me.

01:04:00.470 --> 01:04:01.510
The king!

01:04:02.450 --> 01:04:03.870
What impudence the man has.

01:04:04.370 --> 01:04:11.730
If you would condescend to permit only a
bare text of the scriptures to circulate

01:04:11.730 --> 01:04:12.930
among the people...

01:04:12.930 --> 01:04:15.150
I would bind myself never to write again.

01:04:15.650 --> 01:04:18.990
I would throw myself at your feet offering
my body as a sacrifice.

01:04:19.310 --> 01:04:22.410
Ready to submit if necessary to torture
and death.

01:04:24.050 --> 01:04:26.130
Well at least he knows what he may expect.

01:04:26.690 --> 01:04:31.830
But much of what Tyndale writes and speaks
could work to your advantage.

01:04:32.990 --> 01:04:38.030
I would beg to remind your majesty that
you admired his scholarship and wanted him

01:04:38.030 --> 01:04:38.650
to return.

01:04:38.810 --> 01:04:40.530
And now I want him to stay away.

01:04:41.490 --> 01:04:44.790
He is a perverse and hardened character
who cannot be changed.

01:04:45.210 --> 01:04:46.670
I'm only two Harbys out of England.

01:04:47.050 --> 01:04:50.990
I shall find another scholar, another
hundred and better ones at that.

01:04:53.190 --> 01:04:58.350
It is a pity, your highness, that John
Frith should be among the sectarians.

01:04:58.610 --> 01:05:04.390
Ah, John Frith, who on earth is John
Frith.

01:05:05.510 --> 01:05:08.870
He is a man greatly distinguished in
sciences and letters.

01:05:09.030 --> 01:05:09.270
Ah.

01:05:09.590 --> 01:05:14.330
He too holds certain opinions which may
give comfort to your majesty.

01:05:15.230 --> 01:05:15.610
Hmm.

01:05:16.870 --> 01:05:20.970
I would beg to tell you, lord secretary,
that Tyndale is no coward.

01:05:20.970 --> 01:05:22.470
Yes, yes, I do not doubt it.

01:05:22.470 --> 01:05:27.110
But when his own brother is paraded about
face on a horse and branded a heretic by

01:05:27.110 --> 01:05:28.630
none less than the lord chancellor...

01:05:28.630 --> 01:05:30.130
Yes, yes, that was impolitic.

01:05:30.130 --> 01:05:33.750
How then can I persuade the man that his
safe conduct is assured?

01:05:34.390 --> 01:05:34.950
A problem.

01:05:35.230 --> 01:05:38.010
Or that a return to England would be to
his advantage.

01:05:38.490 --> 01:05:39.650
Vaughan, listen to me.

01:05:40.570 --> 01:05:42.470
The king has wearied of Tyndale.

01:05:43.090 --> 01:05:43.770
He has?

01:05:43.830 --> 01:05:46.970
He strongly desires the reconciliation of
John Frith.

01:05:47.590 --> 01:05:48.030
Frith?

01:05:48.030 --> 01:05:53.250
Who, he believes, is not so far advanced
as Tyndale in his evil way.

01:05:54.110 --> 01:05:54.530
Evil?

01:05:55.310 --> 01:06:00.750
And the king, always full of mercy,
is ready to receive him to favor.

01:06:01.730 --> 01:06:06.830
So try to attract him charitably,
politically.

01:06:20.670 --> 01:06:21.310
Indeed.

01:06:24.500 --> 01:06:26.820
This is a cause for sadness, Thomas.

01:06:27.100 --> 01:06:28.940
What does your resignation say to me?

01:06:29.700 --> 01:06:33.880
That high office demands of a man high
counsel, which I cannot give.

01:06:34.200 --> 01:06:35.020
Nothing more.

01:06:35.640 --> 01:06:36.960
I think there is more.

01:06:37.660 --> 01:06:42.420
I think you would tell me you are a man of
conscience and cannot serve two masters.

01:06:42.940 --> 01:06:45.840
Oh, my lord, I rejoice in serving two
masters.

01:06:46.560 --> 01:06:51.020
I serve you as my king, and I serve him
who is master of us both.

01:06:51.460 --> 01:06:56.160
Thomas, Thomas, you cannot agree my
divorce from Catherine.

01:06:57.120 --> 01:07:00.260
And this is how you've chosen to tell me?

01:07:01.200 --> 01:07:02.860
And how will you spend your time?

01:07:03.200 --> 01:07:04.780
In disputation and writing?

01:07:05.540 --> 01:07:06.480
And poverty.

01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:10.220
And go?

01:07:19.930 --> 01:07:20.450
Thomas!

01:07:22.610 --> 01:07:24.190
You're a reproach to me!

01:07:37.470 --> 01:07:39.150
And would you go to England?

01:07:39.350 --> 01:07:39.610
Yes.

01:07:40.910 --> 01:07:43.410
John, there is no man on earth I love so
much as you.

01:07:44.210 --> 01:07:47.870
No one in the Lord who can accomplish so
much of what I hope and pray for.

01:07:47.910 --> 01:07:50.850
And shall I accomplish it here,
in a foreign land?

01:07:50.890 --> 01:07:53.510
Just be happy to accomplish it at all,
wherever it may be.

01:07:54.330 --> 01:07:55.290
Nothing awaits you in England.

01:07:55.310 --> 01:07:58.470
What awaits me in England is no worse and
no less than you have suffered here.

01:07:58.710 --> 01:08:02.030
You've been hungry, cold, persecuted,
shipwrecked even.

01:08:02.350 --> 01:08:05.010
And we've all spent many years away from
those you love.

01:08:05.230 --> 01:08:07.690
What can England do to me that the world
hasn't done to you?

01:08:07.790 --> 01:08:08.930
John, you have a wife here!

01:08:08.970 --> 01:08:09.590
You have work to do!

01:08:12.070 --> 01:08:15.710
You ask me what England can do,
ask those who can answer no more.

01:08:16.430 --> 01:08:20.070
Ask Blonnie, ask Tewksbury, ask Bateford.

01:08:20.070 --> 01:08:23.570
Yes, and as once you said to me,
they will obtain a better resurrection.

01:08:24.390 --> 01:08:27.090
If God gives me strength, I shan't flinch
from the scaffold.

01:08:27.910 --> 01:08:32.490
William, I go to England not because Henry
requires it, but to spread the gospel of

01:08:32.490 --> 01:08:32.870
Christ.

01:08:33.130 --> 01:08:35.250
And how will you spread the gospel from a
scaffold?

01:08:39.430 --> 01:08:40.830
How many men will hear you?

01:08:41.330 --> 01:08:42.090
What good will come of it?

01:08:42.090 --> 01:08:42.850
I

01:08:52.380 --> 01:08:59.360
must go up to Jerusalem, as God wills it.

01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:19.620
Dearly beloved brother, be cold,
sober, wise, and circumspect.

01:09:20.300 --> 01:09:22.720
Keep you low by the ground, avoiding high
questions.

01:09:25.200 --> 01:09:30.140
Expound the law truly, and open the veil
of Moses to condemn all flesh and prove

01:09:30.140 --> 01:09:31.180
all men sinners.

01:09:38.980 --> 01:09:43.840
Then set a brooch at the mercy of our Lord
Jesus, and let the wounded consciences

01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:44.760
drink of him.

01:09:46.140 --> 01:09:50.840
Beloved in my heart, there liveth not one
in whom I have so great hope and trust,

01:09:51.200 --> 01:09:52.960
and in whom my heart rejoiceth.

01:09:53.500 --> 01:09:58.400
Not so much for your learning and whatever
gifts you have, as because you walk in

01:09:58.400 --> 01:10:02.800
those things that the conscience may feel,
but not in the imagination of the brain.

01:10:05.860 --> 01:10:11.520
Do you not hold that the natural body of
Christ, his flesh, his blood, his bones,

01:10:11.820 --> 01:10:15.920
are contained under the sacrament,
and are there present without any figure

01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:16.560
of speech?

01:10:17.100 --> 01:10:21.160
No, I do not.

01:10:23.180 --> 01:10:26.020
Cleave fast to the rock of the help of
God.

01:10:26.820 --> 01:10:28.700
Stand fast and commit yourself to God.

01:10:29.480 --> 01:10:31.900
He is our God, and his is the glory.

01:10:33.700 --> 01:10:39.360
As the sheep bound by the hand of the
butcher with timid look begs that his

01:10:39.360 --> 01:10:46.320
blood may soon be shed, even so do I pray
my judges that my blood be shed now,

01:10:47.180 --> 01:10:51.420
if by my death the king's eyes should be
opened.

01:10:53.220 --> 01:10:58.660
Dearly beloved, fear not men that
threaten, nor trust men that speak fair.

01:10:59.580 --> 01:11:01.560
Your cause is the gospel of Christ.

01:11:02.200 --> 01:11:05.160
A light that must be fed with the blood of
faith.

01:11:13.140 --> 01:11:14.440
You are not alone.

01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:19.580
Follow the example of all your other dear
brethren who choose to suffer in hope of a

01:11:19.580 --> 01:11:20.380
better resurrection.

01:11:22.040 --> 01:11:25.920
Bear the image of Christ in your mortal
body, and keep your conscience pure and

01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:26.600
undefiled.

01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:33.040
Your wife is well content with the will of
God, and would not for her sake have the

01:11:33.040 --> 01:11:34.120
glory of God hindered.

01:11:38.040 --> 01:11:42.200
As our Lord Jesus wept over Jerusalem,
will he now weep over England?

01:11:43.300 --> 01:11:46.860
Will he weep for those who kill the
prophets and burn them which are sent to

01:11:46.860 --> 01:11:47.100
her?

01:11:48.980 --> 01:11:53.860
Will he gather the children of England,
even as a hen gathers her chickens under

01:11:53.860 --> 01:11:54.320
her wing?

01:11:55.560 --> 01:12:01.840
I'm not a scholar, William, but it seems
to me that in a good family the children

01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:07.000
trust their father, even when they don't
understand the wisdom only years can

01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:07.380
bring.

01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:08.220
Aye.

01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:14.080
And sometimes, Mrs. Poynce, a good mother
can say the right word to a faithless

01:12:14.080 --> 01:12:14.480
child.

01:12:15.900 --> 01:12:19.080
Who knows even now what the good Lord
prepares for his people?

01:12:46.080 --> 01:12:47.080
You know who I am?

01:12:47.500 --> 01:12:49.780
Yes, Your Grace, you are Stokesley,
Bishop of London.

01:12:51.380 --> 01:12:52.860
And what do you know of me?

01:12:53.900 --> 01:12:55.740
That you are wise and charitable.

01:12:55.820 --> 01:12:56.520
Do not lie to me.

01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:57.460
You know no such thing.

01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:01.500
Tunstall was wise and charitable,
kind and good.

01:13:02.460 --> 01:13:03.680
I am wise.

01:13:05.260 --> 01:13:08.740
Charity is something I use sparingly and
not on rogues like you.

01:13:08.940 --> 01:13:09.660
No, Your Grace.

01:13:11.180 --> 01:13:13.880
Now I shall recount such that I know of
you.

01:13:16.060 --> 01:13:22.840
You are Henry Phillips, thief,
liar, a villain, and a reproach to your

01:13:22.840 --> 01:13:23.140
father.

01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:30.380
Now, tell me, what common ground is there
between us?

01:13:30.740 --> 01:13:34.160
There can be none, Your Grace,
between a rogue such as I and your good

01:13:34.160 --> 01:13:34.500
self.

01:13:34.600 --> 01:13:36.380
Oh, you fawning, pitiful creature.

01:13:37.140 --> 01:13:38.060
I shall tell you.

01:13:41.320 --> 01:13:42.680
What think you of these?

01:13:45.060 --> 01:13:52.520
The obedience of the Christian man,
practice of prelates, parable of the

01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:58.960
wicked man of the church, the New
Testament in English.

01:13:59.960 --> 01:14:01.860
They are to be despised, Your Grace.

01:14:02.340 --> 01:14:03.300
And their author?

01:14:04.580 --> 01:14:06.680
He should be put to the flames and burnt.

01:14:06.860 --> 01:14:10.000
There, we have common ground between us.

01:14:13.080 --> 01:14:19.460
Tell me, why do you think does William
Tyndale yet live and work and infect this

01:14:19.460 --> 01:14:20.860
happy island with his poison?

01:14:22.340 --> 01:14:25.160
Because he is crafty and conceals himself
well.

01:14:25.340 --> 01:14:29.080
So then, his capture requires a man of
equal craftiness.

01:14:29.840 --> 01:14:30.660
Yes, Your Grace.

01:14:32.320 --> 01:14:33.480
Such a man are you.

01:14:34.340 --> 01:14:36.440
You will find him, arrest him,
and bring him to me.

01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:37.460
But, Your Grace...

01:14:37.460 --> 01:14:42.040
Or I shall find for you the darkest,
coldest, wettest cell in all London,

01:14:42.220 --> 01:14:44.640
and that is where you will end your days.

01:14:45.700 --> 01:14:46.720
Yes, Your Grace.

01:15:00.030 --> 01:15:03.850
Thomas More, how are the mighty fallen?

01:15:04.790 --> 01:15:09.190
I am as near to heaven here in the Tower
as I would be in my own home.

01:15:11.290 --> 01:15:17.330
Thomas, I am your friend, and the King is
a good and gracious Lord towards you.

01:15:17.810 --> 01:15:19.370
That has never been in dispute.

01:15:19.950 --> 01:15:21.410
Then say as much.

01:15:21.790 --> 01:15:23.430
I have, and do.

01:15:24.590 --> 01:15:29.430
Thomas, an act of Parliament has
proclaimed the King's supremacy.

01:15:29.770 --> 01:15:31.810
He is the head of the Church.

01:15:32.370 --> 01:15:35.670
I have not uttered a single word against
it.

01:15:35.730 --> 01:15:37.110
And not a single word for it.

01:15:38.030 --> 01:15:39.570
Your silence condemns you.

01:15:40.470 --> 01:15:41.470
That's what they'll say.

01:15:42.530 --> 01:15:43.890
It's treason, Thomas.

01:15:44.750 --> 01:15:49.910
If I must die, the executioner will do no
more than open the gates of heaven for me.

01:15:50.650 --> 01:15:53.290
I shall die for my faith in the Catholic
Church.

01:15:53.930 --> 01:15:56.350
And as a good servant to God and the King.

01:15:57.630 --> 01:15:59.890
But to God first of all.

01:16:04.110 --> 01:16:07.290
In youth, all days were summer.

01:16:08.250 --> 01:16:10.850
We rode together as boys, don't you know?

01:16:12.070 --> 01:16:17.650
But now the summer is over, and I can only
look back fondly.

01:16:19.070 --> 01:16:21.830
You are a rare and true friend,
John.

01:16:21.830 --> 01:16:23.530
So also was Thomas More.

01:16:23.890 --> 01:16:24.290
John!

01:16:24.470 --> 01:16:25.650
No, no, no, let him be.

01:16:26.010 --> 01:16:26.710
Prove my point.

01:16:27.110 --> 01:16:29.110
Who but a true friend could be so bold?

01:16:29.430 --> 01:16:30.990
None but a friend of one's youth.

01:16:34.210 --> 01:16:36.250
Thomas was a friend indeed.

01:16:37.910 --> 01:16:40.930
He lost his head for reasons of state.

01:16:44.670 --> 01:16:46.130
But I loved him dearly.

01:16:50.790 --> 01:16:54.230
Tell me, did not William Tyndale lodge
here in years past?

01:16:55.270 --> 01:16:56.750
Yes, a long time ago.

01:16:57.130 --> 01:16:58.430
He was tutored to our children.

01:16:58.990 --> 01:16:59.850
How was he then?

01:17:00.730 --> 01:17:01.590
How was he?

01:17:02.110 --> 01:17:03.810
Well, I have read all that he has written.

01:17:04.390 --> 01:17:07.730
Seems to me such wondrous words speak well
of the man who wrote them.

01:17:08.230 --> 01:17:10.450
It seems to me you are at variance with
your master.

01:17:10.630 --> 01:17:11.850
She's my wife, dammit!

01:17:11.910 --> 01:17:13.910
What other than she'd be at variance with
me?

01:17:15.210 --> 01:17:21.170
William Tyndale was, and still is,
a man of courage, wisdom, and infinite

01:17:21.170 --> 01:17:21.650
kindness.

01:17:22.070 --> 01:17:23.510
So I deemed him to be.

01:17:25.130 --> 01:17:26.750
Is still, you say?

01:17:26.890 --> 01:17:28.270
You know him still?

01:17:28.650 --> 01:17:29.250
By report.

01:17:29.710 --> 01:17:31.630
He lodges with a cousin, Thomas Poynes.

01:17:35.720 --> 01:17:37.060
You know the place?

01:17:37.720 --> 01:17:38.680
He lives abroad.

01:17:38.780 --> 01:17:39.680
We don't know where.

01:17:40.200 --> 01:17:42.020
My cousin is a merchant, a traveller.

01:17:42.540 --> 01:17:44.880
He may have shared a lodging at some time
of business.

01:17:45.620 --> 01:17:46.220
Nothing more.

01:17:48.140 --> 01:17:54.600
You know, I often think the crown is heavy
when my friends do not trust me.

01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:40.620
God be with you.

01:18:41.520 --> 01:18:41.940
Sir.

01:18:42.700 --> 01:18:44.300
I am Harry Phillips, sir.

01:18:44.800 --> 01:18:46.420
Come to acquaint myself to you.

01:18:47.220 --> 01:18:47.520
Phillips?

01:18:48.500 --> 01:18:48.860
Phillips.

01:18:49.240 --> 01:18:50.700
I heard you preach this morning,
sir.

01:18:51.260 --> 01:18:55.280
A word, if I may say, full of truth and
power, and much to the glory of Christ.

01:18:55.500 --> 01:18:56.380
The word, would you say?

01:18:56.900 --> 01:18:59.160
I was reading from Paul's letter to the
church at Corinth.

01:18:59.580 --> 01:19:00.240
But in English.

01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:02.460
I'm a student at Louvain.

01:19:03.060 --> 01:19:04.760
There the word is held in contempt.

01:19:05.400 --> 01:19:07.840
I travel here as often as I can to listen
and to learn.

01:19:07.960 --> 01:19:09.080
Yes, I recall.

01:19:09.080 --> 01:19:09.760
Phillips.

01:19:10.820 --> 01:19:12.020
Merchants have spoken of you.

01:19:12.600 --> 01:19:13.020
Highly.

01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:14.940
And of your interest in the word.

01:19:15.180 --> 01:19:18.840
Believe me, my brother, I cannot begin to
tell of the joy brought by the freedom

01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:19.120
here.

01:19:19.720 --> 01:19:21.620
Everyone speaks of Christ without fear.

01:19:22.100 --> 01:19:23.560
The city profits by the English trade.

01:19:23.900 --> 01:19:27.240
So therefore we are safe enough and left
in peace when close to the merchant's

01:19:27.240 --> 01:19:27.480
houses.

01:19:28.200 --> 01:19:29.140
And what of lodgings?

01:19:29.620 --> 01:19:31.240
Are there any near the merchant's house?

01:19:34.980 --> 01:19:35.460
William.

01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:36.100
Thomas.

01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:37.180
Harry.

01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:38.880
This is my good and close friend.

01:19:39.080 --> 01:19:39.780
Thomas Poyntz.

01:19:40.300 --> 01:19:41.260
And Mrs Poyntz.

01:19:41.400 --> 01:19:42.240
Welcome to our home.

01:19:42.300 --> 01:19:43.440
We've heard much about you.

01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:44.100
And I have you.

01:19:45.180 --> 01:19:48.020
You are no less handsome a woman than was
assured me by William.

01:19:48.940 --> 01:19:49.340
William.

01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:51.160
Her price is above rubies.

01:19:51.480 --> 01:19:52.660
Have you been in Antwerp long?

01:19:53.020 --> 01:19:53.820
Just a short time.

01:19:54.460 --> 01:19:56.220
I find the city full of English merchants.

01:19:56.460 --> 01:19:59.020
All followers of the gospel and strong in
the word of God.

01:19:59.360 --> 01:20:00.180
Such a one is Harry.

01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:02.920
His outspoken favor of the gospel goes
before him.

01:20:02.980 --> 01:20:05.660
Though I fear he is rather more courageous
than cautious.

01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:07.380
The truth deserves boldness.

01:20:07.380 --> 01:20:10.060
Though it shames me to say so to someone
like you.

01:20:10.620 --> 01:20:11.560
William, these have arrived.

01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:12.980
Ah, these volumes.

01:20:13.380 --> 01:20:14.400
You're familiar with them?

01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:16.200
As with my own face.

01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:19.700
Though I never thought providence would
favor me with knowing their author.

01:20:20.340 --> 01:20:22.880
If I may make so bold, I have prepared a
meal.

01:20:23.240 --> 01:20:24.540
If perhaps you'd like to come through?

01:20:25.020 --> 01:20:28.260
Madam, it is written that angels have
appeared in the guise of men.

01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:30.720
I perceive not men only, but also women.

01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:34.320
William.

01:20:35.700 --> 01:20:37.400
How well do you know this man?

01:20:37.800 --> 01:20:38.360
Why do you ask?

01:20:39.080 --> 01:20:40.260
I cannot say.

01:20:41.520 --> 01:20:42.000
He...

01:20:42.580 --> 01:20:43.640
Can we trust him?

01:20:43.760 --> 01:20:44.440
Thomas, of course.

01:20:45.120 --> 01:20:46.060
How can you think ill of him?

01:20:46.300 --> 01:20:50.000
He seems... he seems a man of quiet
manners and godly behavior.

01:20:51.880 --> 01:20:52.900
Let's go and dine.

01:20:53.160 --> 01:20:54.960
Thomas, speak to him.

01:20:55.360 --> 01:20:55.660
Tomorrow.

01:20:56.740 --> 01:20:58.100
Let him earn your confidence.

01:21:07.550 --> 01:21:10.470
You do well to speak of the dangers in
Antwerp.

01:21:10.850 --> 01:21:13.870
A man could be drowned and carried away in
such a flood.

01:21:14.710 --> 01:21:16.690
Ah, the rain will stop, believe me.

01:21:17.310 --> 01:21:18.790
Tomorrow it will be fine.

01:21:20.250 --> 01:21:23.570
But the enemies of the gospel will still
be with us.

01:21:25.030 --> 01:21:28.310
If you are to return to the city,
you'll be advised to take a guide.

01:21:28.590 --> 01:21:29.370
Return I must.

01:21:29.430 --> 01:21:30.930
I have several purchases to make.

01:21:31.450 --> 01:21:33.490
But tell me, you speak of danger.

01:21:34.270 --> 01:21:36.910
Does Master Tyndale not fear that someone
may be bribed?

01:21:37.030 --> 01:21:37.910
A friend, perhaps.

01:21:38.250 --> 01:21:39.890
Master Tyndale thinks well of all men.

01:21:40.170 --> 01:21:41.810
Such thoughts would find no place in him.

01:21:42.550 --> 01:21:43.730
I have much gold.

01:21:44.750 --> 01:21:45.490
For what?

01:21:46.550 --> 01:21:47.650
For my purchases.

01:21:49.330 --> 01:21:49.810
Good.

01:21:53.150 --> 01:21:55.070
Our friend is much taken with the city.

01:21:55.650 --> 01:21:56.950
It is old and there is suffering.

01:21:57.770 --> 01:22:00.070
And one is always afraid some new plague
will appear.

01:22:01.150 --> 01:22:03.690
But god is here and working out his will.

01:22:03.990 --> 01:22:04.730
And you also.

01:22:05.410 --> 01:22:09.030
I should like to come with you to witness
your preaching administrations.

01:22:09.270 --> 01:22:09.850
Then come.

01:22:10.890 --> 01:22:11.950
There is always work.

01:22:13.150 --> 01:22:15.610
And you, Thomas, will you also join us?

01:22:15.850 --> 01:22:17.250
Tomorrow I must sail for London.

01:22:17.950 --> 01:22:19.370
My business will take me some time.

01:22:20.130 --> 01:22:21.430
Then it is but you and I, William.

01:22:22.070 --> 01:22:25.290
We shall be about god's work in the
morning and then we shall dine.

01:22:25.870 --> 01:22:27.250
And at my expense.

01:22:28.790 --> 01:22:30.030
Well, if that is your wish.

01:22:30.370 --> 01:22:31.150
It is.

01:22:31.830 --> 01:22:32.910
Indeed it is.

01:22:34.290 --> 01:22:34.790
Sir.

01:22:37.990 --> 01:22:38.710
One moment.

01:22:39.890 --> 01:22:40.390
Here, friend.

01:22:43.270 --> 01:22:43.770
There.

01:22:44.590 --> 01:22:45.430
It is little enough.

01:22:46.690 --> 01:22:49.010
Ought to be for once and ever what Christ
was to us.

01:22:49.270 --> 01:22:49.570
William!

01:22:50.690 --> 01:22:51.170
Harry!

01:22:52.830 --> 01:22:54.210
Now, we thought we'd lost you.

01:22:54.770 --> 01:22:55.490
Forgive me.

01:22:56.150 --> 01:22:58.110
I paused only to purchase this volume.

01:22:59.490 --> 01:23:00.790
A gift for my tutor.

01:23:03.630 --> 01:23:04.390
Ha ha ha.

01:23:08.790 --> 01:23:10.570
You seem to know this town better than I
do, Harry.

01:23:10.890 --> 01:23:15.810
A morning's work done well and to the
glory of God.

01:23:16.230 --> 01:23:17.210
And by the grace of God.

01:23:18.090 --> 01:23:19.970
It is he who does the work if we would but
let him.

01:23:20.390 --> 01:23:22.670
And so we have earned our bread.

01:23:26.230 --> 01:23:26.590
William.

01:23:27.710 --> 01:23:29.130
I think I've been robbed.

01:23:29.490 --> 01:23:30.050
Robbed, Harry?

01:23:30.310 --> 01:23:30.510
Where?

01:23:30.770 --> 01:23:32.170
Well, I don't know, but...

01:23:32.170 --> 01:23:33.170
It doesn't matter.

01:23:33.310 --> 01:23:34.870
I carried only a few shillings.

01:23:35.690 --> 01:23:37.310
Except I was to buy you a meal.

01:23:37.730 --> 01:23:38.510
I have money.

01:23:39.130 --> 01:23:39.890
I will buy the meal.

01:23:40.070 --> 01:23:40.610
God forbid.

01:23:41.070 --> 01:23:42.250
It was my invitation.

01:23:43.350 --> 01:23:45.210
But perhaps you'll lend me the money I've
lost.

01:23:47.450 --> 01:23:47.850
There.

01:23:48.750 --> 01:23:49.010
Harry.

01:23:50.350 --> 01:23:52.250
I will repay you as soon as we return.

01:23:52.550 --> 01:23:53.210
When you can, Harry.

01:23:53.350 --> 01:23:53.710
When you can.

01:23:54.450 --> 01:23:56.250
I'm doubly indebted to you, William.

01:24:01.510 --> 01:24:02.230
Ron!

01:24:02.510 --> 01:24:02.890
Harry!

01:24:03.310 --> 01:24:03.710
Ron!

01:24:04.230 --> 01:24:04.890
Save yourself!

01:24:05.610 --> 01:24:06.030
Yes.

01:24:07.010 --> 01:24:07.810
This is the man.

01:24:08.430 --> 01:24:09.550
Take him away.

01:24:39.470 --> 01:24:40.770
What have they done?

01:24:41.190 --> 01:24:41.470
William!

01:24:42.530 --> 01:24:43.590
And you, my love?

01:24:43.750 --> 01:24:44.490
Are you harmed?

01:24:45.470 --> 01:24:46.930
They have taken him.

01:24:48.930 --> 01:24:49.810
He searched.

01:24:51.310 --> 01:24:53.290
He took his books.

01:25:00.380 --> 01:25:01.900
I have done what I can.

01:25:02.000 --> 01:25:02.920
I have written letters.

01:25:03.460 --> 01:25:05.260
But, Thomas, you have the King's ear.

01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:06.640
His ear?

01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:10.840
Yes, as well I do not have his gout or his
ulcerated leg.

01:25:11.460 --> 01:25:12.900
His ear, at least his sound.

01:25:13.260 --> 01:25:14.060
I do not jest.

01:25:14.540 --> 01:25:15.160
Nor I.

01:25:16.100 --> 01:25:18.940
The affairs of church and state alike
depend on me.

01:25:18.960 --> 01:25:19.980
They depend on Henry's mood.

01:25:20.580 --> 01:25:23.260
And that itself depends on the pain his
body brings.

01:25:23.620 --> 01:25:25.160
But you can speak with him.

01:25:25.600 --> 01:25:27.200
He once stood very high of Tyndale.

01:25:27.260 --> 01:25:29.000
He cannot so easily alter his opinion.

01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:30.580
He cannot.

01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:32.720
You can ask him.

01:25:35.540 --> 01:25:37.480
Yes, I can ask him.

01:25:39.360 --> 01:25:39.760
No!

01:25:40.120 --> 01:25:40.380
No!

01:25:40.500 --> 01:25:40.620
No!

01:25:40.700 --> 01:25:40.880
No!

01:25:41.300 --> 01:25:43.620
Your Lady Anne required that I should ask.

01:25:43.860 --> 01:25:48.580
When Lady Anne shall deign to bear a son,
then shall I hear her request.

01:25:48.580 --> 01:25:50.340
Till then, Tyndale can rot.

01:25:50.580 --> 01:25:52.340
And she can rot with him for all I care.

01:26:38.080 --> 01:26:39.340
William Tyndale.

01:26:40.040 --> 01:26:44.460
The King of England has somewhat against
you for crimes committed in that realm.

01:26:45.240 --> 01:26:46.740
These do not concern us.

01:26:47.580 --> 01:26:51.740
You have been arrested and stand charged
with heresy.

01:26:52.500 --> 01:26:53.860
In that, first.

01:26:54.780 --> 01:26:58.860
You maintain that faith alone justifies.

01:27:00.280 --> 01:27:00.820
Second.

01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:06.400
You maintain that to believe in the
forgiveness of sins and to embrace the

01:27:06.400 --> 01:27:09.300
mercy offered in the gospel is enough for
salvation.

01:27:10.720 --> 01:27:11.280
Third.

01:27:11.920 --> 01:27:16.920
You aver that the traditions of men cannot
bind the soul.

01:27:18.380 --> 01:27:18.780
Fourth.

01:27:19.740 --> 01:27:25.560
You affirm that neither the virgin nor the
saints pray for us in their own person.

01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:27.520
And fifth.

01:27:28.040 --> 01:27:34.280
You assert that neither the virgin nor the
saints should be invoked by us.

01:27:37.430 --> 01:27:38.570
How do you answer?

01:27:39.590 --> 01:27:46.570
I answer thus with a clear conscience
before God and man that I have never

01:27:46.570 --> 01:27:53.570
maintained, affirmed, averred,
or asserted anything contrary to the plain

01:27:53.570 --> 01:27:57.290
meaning of God's holy scriptures on these
alone.

01:27:57.710 --> 01:27:59.710
And these alone I stand.

01:28:00.630 --> 01:28:04.990
Would you say then that faith alone
justifies and not works?

01:28:06.130 --> 01:28:09.510
The fruit that grows on the tree does not
make the tree good or bad.

01:28:10.490 --> 01:28:14.530
It only makes known whether the tree is a
good tree or a bad tree.

01:28:15.650 --> 01:28:18.410
And works do not make a man good or bad.

01:28:19.230 --> 01:28:24.150
They only make it plain to other men
whether he who performs those works is

01:28:24.150 --> 01:28:25.130
good or bad.

01:28:26.170 --> 01:28:29.330
A man is reconciled before God by faith
alone.

01:28:30.750 --> 01:28:34.430
And works have only to make this
justification known before men.

01:28:35.550 --> 01:28:40.090
Such is the contention of the apostle Paul
as it is written.

01:28:41.650 --> 01:28:47.970
By grace are you saved, through faith,
and that not of yourselves.

01:28:49.270 --> 01:28:57.070
It is the gift of God, not of works,
lest any man should boast.

01:29:02.440 --> 01:29:07.700
To the Marquis of Bergen, I believe,
right worshipful, that you are not unaware

01:29:07.700 --> 01:29:10.100
what may have been determined concerning
me.

01:29:11.060 --> 01:29:15.440
Wherefore, I beg your lordship,
and that by the Lord Jesus, that if I am

01:29:15.440 --> 01:29:18.640
to remain here through the winter,
you will permit me to be sent from my

01:29:18.640 --> 01:29:20.200
goods a warmer cap.

01:29:20.980 --> 01:29:25.380
For I suffer greatly from cold in the
head, and am afflicted by perpetual

01:29:25.380 --> 01:29:28.100
catarrh, which is much increased in this
cell.

01:29:29.140 --> 01:29:32.680
A warmer coat also, and a piece of cloth
to patch my leggings.

01:29:36.380 --> 01:29:39.300
And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in
the evening.

01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:44.020
But most of all, I beg and beseech your
clemency, that you will permit me to have

01:29:44.020 --> 01:29:49.520
the Hebrew Bible, Hebrew grammar,
and Hebrew dictionary, that I may pass my

01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:50.880
time in study.

01:29:52.820 --> 01:29:57.840
But if any other decision has been taken
concerning me, to be carried out before

01:29:57.840 --> 01:30:03.860
the winter, I will be patient,
abiding the will of God, to the glory of

01:30:03.860 --> 01:30:06.100
the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ.

01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:09.780
Through spirit, I pray, may ever direct
your heart.

01:30:10.320 --> 01:30:11.040
Amen.

01:30:55.110 --> 01:30:58.310
Lord, open the king of England's eyes.

01:31:48.540 --> 01:31:54.080
When Tyndale died, there were already two
Bibles circulating in England.

01:31:54.880 --> 01:31:58.440
Each effectively contained Tyndale's
translation of the New Testament,

01:31:59.460 --> 01:32:01.880
and much of his work had been used for the
Old Testament.

01:32:03.680 --> 01:32:08.880
When one of them, Coverdale's version,
was presented to Henry VIII, he was

01:32:08.880 --> 01:32:12.140
assured by the bishops that they could
find no errors in it.

01:32:12.580 --> 01:32:16.820
Then if there be no errors in it,
then in God's name, let it go abroad among

01:32:16.820 --> 01:32:17.380
the people.

01:32:18.800 --> 01:32:23.500
The following year, His Majesty authorized
a small phrase of immense significance to

01:32:23.500 --> 01:32:25.680
be added to the title page of the English
Bible.

01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:29.580
Set forth with the king's most gracious
license.

01:32:30.600 --> 01:32:36.960
On September the 5th, 1538, Henry ordered
every church in England to display one

01:32:36.960 --> 01:32:41.180
book of the whole Bible of the largest
volume in English.

01:32:42.300 --> 01:32:46.980
The whole Bible, printed in English,
was at the heart of the Reformation in

01:32:46.980 --> 01:32:47.240
England.

01:32:48.660 --> 01:32:54.860
It remains as a memorial to William
Tyndale, and an answer to his dying prayer.
