More's Latin reply to Bugenhagen (1526), given here with a facing
English translation, is a comparatively brief but intense rebuttal
of the principal points of Lutheran teaching concerning scripture
ant tradition, faith and works, grace and free will, clerical
celibacy, and the sacraments. It presents arguments elaborated at
much greater length in More's other polemical works. Supplication
of Souls (1529) refutes A Supplication for the Beggars, an
anticlerical pamphlet by Simon Fish which Henry VIII seems to have
regarded with some favor. More places his response in the mouths of
the souls in purgatory. In the first book, he contemptuously
demolished Fish's loose railery with accurate statistics and
historical analysis. In the second, he defends the traditional
doctrine of purgatory with brief arguments drawn from reason and a
detailed analysis of scriptural passages. Letter against Frith
(1532) answers John Frith's Zwinglian arguments against the
physical presence of Christ in the more. Written to an unknown
correspondent, it is the briefest and mildest of More's polemical
works and anticipates arguments presented moer elaborately in
More's The Answer to a Poisoned Book (1533). Besides full
introductions and commentaries, a glossary, and an index, this
volume contains seven appendices giving the works to which More is
replying and other thematic, historical, and bibliographical matter
closely related to the three works by More.
