Thomas More (weaver)

His work ignited a storm of theological debate and led to multiple responses. Among these were Thomas Whitfield's 1646 counter-argument, "A Refutation of the Loose Opinions, and Licentious Tenets Wherewith Those Lay-preachers Which Wander up and Down the Kingdom, Labour to Seduce the Simple People," and Obadiah Howe's 1648 work, "The Universalist Examined and Convicted, Destitute of Plain Sayings of Scripture, or Evidence of Reason."

Sir Thomas More (play)
''Sir Thomas More'' is an Elizabethan play and a dramatic biography based on particular events in the life of the Catholic martyr Thomas More, who rose to become the Lord Chancellor of England during the reign of Henry VIII. The play is considered to be written by Anthony Munday and Henry Chettle and revised by several writers. The manuscript is particularly notable for a three-page handwritten revision now widely attributed to William Shakespeare. Content This play is not a biography; it is a drama that deals with certain events in More’s life. Other significant facts are not described: There is no mention of his literary career, his book ''Utopia'', or the dispute between Henry VIII and the Pope in Rome. Also the life of More is at times expanded beyond what actually occurred and beyond the sources that were used, in order to suit the drama. What the play is about has been debated, but the issues revolve around obedience to the crown and rule of law, particularly when a pop ...
