21 And they came unto the Council of the Nation, even the House of Lords, and said, We will not have this law to pass.
22 For, although we are paid, and well paid, to teach the people, yet in our wisdom it seemeth good unto us to keep them ignorant.
23 For, be it known unto you, that, unless they are kept ignorant, and deprived of power, no man can govern them.
24 And the Lords listened unto these speeches, and would not allow the good law to pass.
25 Then stood the great and good noble, even Grey, before the King, and said, thou knowest thy nobles and the high priests of the land will not allow this law to pass.
26 Therefore I lay my commission at thy feet.
27 And the king answered and said, do as it seemeth best to thee.
28 And Grey bowed himself to the earth, and departed from the presence of the King.
29 And the King was troubled in spirit, and he sent in haste for Arthur, even the mighty man of renown.
30 And Arthur arose, and girded up his loins, and stood before the King.
