Cromwell: Yet how can this be? Because this silence betokened, nay, this silence was, not silence at all, but most eloquent denial!More: Not so. Not so, Master Secretary. The maxim is "Qui tacet consentire"; the maxim of the law is "Silence gives consent". If, therefore, you wish to construe what my silence betokened, you must construe that I consented, not that I denied.Cromwell: Is that in fact what the world construes from it? Do you pretend that is what you wish the world to construe from it?More: The world must construe according to its wits; this court must construe according to the law.
