He seems indifferent;
Or, rather, swaying more upon our part
Than cherishing th’exhibitors against us:
-Archbishop of Canterbury
King Henry The Fifth Act I, scene i, line 72
Okay, the first scene of the play and the Bishop of Ely and the Archbishop of Canterbury are discussing a bill that’s circulating that would force the church to give up much of its riches and possessions. Obviously, these two guys don’t want that. Today’s line is in answer to the Bishop of Ely’s question as to how King Henry feels about this bill. Apparently he’s somewhat more inclined to the side of the church, but not completely. He’s swaying.
Apparently the church has managed to hold onto quite a bit of it's riches and possessions; right or wrong. Which way are you swayed?
