Quote #7
CHAPUYS: My Lord, I cannot believe you will allow yourself to be associated with the recent actions of King Henry! In respect of Queen Catherine.
MORE: Subjects are associated with the actions of King willy-nilly. (2.51-52)
It's worth noting that More is hardly the rebellious type. He seems to have a strong amount of respect for Henry, and he never does anything to subvert the King's authority. That's why he gets so annoyed when Chapuys bursts into the scene and tries to make it seem like they're political allies. They might follow the same religion, but More is still a loyal British subject.
Quote #8
NORFOLK: Yes! Crank he may be, traitor he is not.
CROMWELL: (Spreading his hands) And with a little pressure, he can be got to say so. And that's all we need—a brief declaration of his loyalty to the present administration. (2.174-175)
Here's a pro-tip, with the 20/20 hindsight of history: making people take loyalty oaths is always a bad idea in the long run. Not only does it lead to the deaths of people who don't deserve to die—like More—but it also represents an frighteningly authoritarian impulse that could easily snowball into something far nastier. Not a good look for anyone involved.
Quote #9
COMMON MAN: [...] "Thomas Cromwell was found guilty of High Treason and executed on 28 July, 1540. Norfolk was found guilty of High Treason [...] on 27, January 1547." (2.459)
The two men who got Thomas More executed for treason (a crime he didn't commit) end up getting convicted of treason themselves later on in the game. Funny how things work out sometimes, huh? In an even juicier bit of gossip, Cromwell was also supposedly responsible for the execution of Anne Boleyn—the woman Henry divorces Catherine to marry.
