Hen. Sir, let

The movers of this saintly shift speak first.

You, Winchester? You, Albemarle? Canst preach

The lie away?

Alb. My honored liege, these swords,

Surer than bended knees, bespeak your safety.

Knowing that treachery oft defames the ranks

Of those who shine as the highpriests of God,

I and my brother barons came thus armed,

Thinking it better so to break our oaths
