The Witch - Questions of Faith and Purpose in Wilderness
William: [before the court]
What went we out into this wilderness to find? Leaving our country, kindred, our fathers houses? We have travailed a vast ocean. For what? For what?
Governor:
We must ask thee to be silent!
William:
Was it not for the pure and faithful dispensation of the Gospels, and the Kingdom of God?
Old Slater:
No more! We are your judges, and not you ours!
William:
I cannot be judged by false Christians, for I have done nothing, save preach Christ's true Gospel.
Governor:
Must you continue to dishonor the laws of the commonwealth and the church with your prideful conceit?
William:
If my conscience sees it fit.
Governor:
Then shall you be banished out of this plantation's liberties!
William:
I would be glad of it.
Governor:
Then take your leave, and trouble us no further.
William: [turning to leave]
How sadly hath The Lord testified against you. Katherine...
Caleb:
Thomasin! Come.
