Below is a short sample of the essay "Show how Robert Bolt reveals Richard Rich’s character during his interview with Thomas Cromwell at the end of act one (pages 42 – 46)".
When Bolt describes Rich as being "almost sure" that he has no beliefs, he is suggesting that Rich is not completely free of his conscience and is trying to hold onto something pure when he realizes his.
I think that Bolt is trying to portray an even worse side of Rich when Rich has a "sudden lift of spirits" after he realizes he lost his innocence some time ago.

Robert Oxton Bolt, the famous playwright, author and screenwriter, was born in 1924 at 13 Northenden Road, Sale, and lived there, above his father's furnisher's shop until around 1928, when the family moved to live at 68 School Road.

 A Man for All Seasons Summary & Essays - Robert Bolt
Robert Bolt's play A Man for All Seasons presents a "hero of the self" whose unwavering integrity collides with King Henry VIII's egoistic drive to wrench personal salvation and political permanence for the Tudor line from an unwilling, because politically cornered, Pope.
The Pope refuses to condone an annulment for Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon (of Spain) having already dispensed with biblical law to permit him to marry her in the first place.
This crucible of moral standards takes place in the early sixteenth century, but Bolt contemporizes the drama by inserting an audience go-between, the Common Man, whose asides remind the viewer of More's relevance to twentieth-century heroism.
