Intro
Sir Thomas More resigned as Lord Chancellor on 16 May 1532 and Henry VIII had allowed him to live as a private citizen. However, in late February 1534 Henry added More's name to the Bill for the Attainder (for treason) of Elizabeth Barton.
In this, the last of his six remaining letters to Henry, More began by giving an account of his resignation, saying that Henry, then, had promised ‘that for the service which I byfore had done you (which it than lyked your goodnes far above my deserving to commend) that in eny suit that I should after have un to your Highnes… I should fynd your Highnes good and graciouse lord unto me’.
