PETER

Then tear up the charter. [mob agrees]

CARVER

Tear up the charter? Have no government? Nay, we can't do that!

PETER

We be freemen, Master Carver; we have a right to a voice in what we'll do, and what we won't do—and we all want to land here, don't we, men? [all agree]

CARVER

But if we make our home here, we are outside the King's rule.

PETER

We'll rule ourselves—we be free-born Englishmen! [all agree]
