St. Thomas More is one of my favorites; just went through A Dialogue on Conscience. Simply beautiful, even though I've heard this tale before. Not actually written by More, but by his daughters, whom he raised to be quite talented and faithful servants of the Church. One must follow the Truth come what may; one cannot have a reservation that "I will follow this so long as it wins in terms of this world."

Excellent considerations on the existence of Purgatory and the insane lengths some went to denying it, especially in mutilating the Bible by removing multiple books (2nd Maccabees above all). And on what authority? So much is made of the corrupt abuses of indulgence, one forgets the stupendous acts of charity encouraged by those same indulgences.

The Supplication of Souls is a simple beat down of poor Simon Fish and his Supplication of Beggars. The poor bugger argued that the clergy both numbered only 0.25% of the population (to show how rich so few were) and argued that the celibacy of this same group would depopulate England! So many silly things said I create distrust of the clergy. Now to Part II concerning Purgatory.
