 Thomas More's Friendship With John Fisher
Fisher's statutes make clear that he wishes to bring the fellows and scholars of Christ's College and St. John's College to "the worship of God, the increase of the faith, and probity of morals." (68) He stresses preaching, by himself and others, because he longs to make Christ's gospel clear to the people.
Fisher's and More's common description of the Act of Treasons as "a two edged sworde," More insists, was due, not to collusion, but to "the correspondence and conformitie, of our wittes, learning and studie" ("la conformite de nostre entendement et doctrine"—"ex ingeniorum ac doctrinae similitudine") (3).
On his part, Fisher complains about his inability to look to his episcopal duties because of "attending after tryumphes, receiving of ambassadors, haunting of princes courtes and such lyke." (13) Nevertheless, it is significant that the first indisputable proof for their acquaintance is associated with their common friend Erasmus.
