Quote #4
MORE: [...] I've resigned, that's all. On the King's Supremacy, the King's divorce which he'll now grant himself, the marriage he'll then make—have you heard me make a statement? (2.146)
Well, it looks like More is still refusing to make an official decision. Although he makes a half-choice by resigning from his position as Chancellor, he still refuses to take things all the way and give the King a piece of his mind. And why should he? This isn't a democracy—there aren't any town hall debates 'round these parts. If you get on the King's bad side then, well, that's bad.
Quote #5
ROPER: We don't need to know the [...] wording—we know what it will mean!
MORE: It will mean what the words say! An oath is made of words! It may be possible to take it. Or avoid it. (2.451-452)
If you told Thomas More that he had to choose between Option A and Option B, he'd probably start inquiring about the efficacy of Option C. It's just the guy's lawyerly nature. Unfortunately, he'll quickly learn that this latest oath from Parliament was created with a very express purpose—to force More to make his personal opinions public knowledge.
