Assuredly.

_Second Agent:_
The Earl of Bedford and those with him have not drained these commons
for nothing.

_Cromwell:_
Well?

_Second Agent:_
They have earned the rights to be proclaimed to-morrow.

_Cromwell:_
By whose will?

_First Agent:_
By the King's.

_Cromwell:_
These rights of pasture belong to the people. It is within no man's
powers to take them away.

_Second Agent:_
The King decrees it.

_Cromwell:_
I know not how that may be. I know that these rights are the people's,
above any earl or king whatsoever. The King is to defend our rights, not
to destroy them.
