Before his martyrdom Thomas More confessed that he was to die ‘in and for the faith of the Holy Catholic Church’ and he died ‘king’s good servant, but God’s first.’
Bago ang kanyang pagiging martir, binigkas ni Tomas Moore na mamamatay siya na “nasa loob at para sa pananampalataya ng Banal na Simbahang Katolika” at mamamatay siyang “mabuting lingkod ng hari, subali’t una ang Diyos.”
