More says, βIn these last ten years the Turks have taken Belgrade. They have lit their campfires in the great library at Buda. It is only two years since they were at the gates of Vienna. Why would you want to make another breach in the walls of Christendom?β βThe King of England is not an infidel. Nor am I.β βAre you not? I hardly know whether you pray to the god of Luther and the Germans, or some heathen god you met with on your travels, or some English deity of your own invention. Perhaps your faith is for purchase. You would serve the Sultan if the price was right.β Erasmus says, did nature ever create anything kinder, sweeter or more harmonious than the character of Thomas More?
