More recently several geneticists, including Lynn Jorde and Henry Harpending have proposed that the human race was reduced to approximately five to ten thousand people.

His time in England was fruitful in the making of lifelong friendships with the leaders of English thought in the days of King Henry VIII: John Colet, Thomas More, John Fisher, Thomas Linacre and William Grocyn.

The term " Gnosticism " does not appear in ancient sources, and was first coined by Henry More in a commentary on the seven letters of the Book of Revelation, where More used the term " Gnosticisme " to describe the heresy in Thyatira.

The English term was first used by Henry More ( 1614 – 1687 ).

The publication of Saducismus Triumphatus, an anti-sceptical tract that has been implicated in the moral panic at Salem, involved Joseph Glanvill ( a latitudinarian ), Henry More ( a Cambridge Platonist ) as editor, and Anthony Horneck, an evangelical German Anglican, as translator of a pamphlet about a Swedish witch hunt ; and none of these was a Puritan.

In 1665 he almost quarrelled with his fellow-Platonist, Henry More, because the latter had written an ethical work which Cudworth feared would interfere with his own long-contemplated treatise on the same subject.

Henry More, in his Enchiridion ethicum, attempts to enumerate the " noemata moralia "; but, so far from being self-evident, most of his moral axioms are open to serious controversy.

More important, the pope forbade ecclesiastical officials under pain of excommunication to support Henry as they had so freely done in the past.

As secretary and personal adviser to King Henry VIII, More became increasingly influential in the government, welcoming foreign diplomats, drafting official documents, and serving as a liaison between the King and his Lord Chancellor: Thomas Wolsey, the Cardinal Archbishop of York.

More's work, however, little mentions King Henry VII, the first Tudor king, perhaps for having persecuted his father, Sir John More.

In 1521, Henry VIII responded to Luther ’ s criticisms with a work known as the Assertio, written with the editorial assistance of More.

At the request of Henry VIII, More set about composing a rebuttal: the resulting Responsio ad Lutherum was published at the end of 1523.

This last manuscript, saved from the confiscation decreed by Henry VIII, passed by the will of his daughter Margaret to Spanish hands and through Fray Pedro de Soto, confessor of Emperor Charles V, went to Valencia, home of Luis Vives, a close friend of More.

Fully devoted to Henry and the royal prerogative, More initially co-operated with the King's new policy, denouncing Wolsey in Parliament and joining the opinion of the theologians at Oxford and Cambridge that the marriage of Henry to Catherine had been unlawful.

In 1530, More refused to sign a letter by the leading English churchmen and aristocrats asking Pope Clement VII to annul Henry's marriage to Catherine, and also quarrelled with Henry VIII over the heresy laws.

In 1531, Henry had isolated More by purging most clergy who supported the papal stance from senior positions in the church.

Nonetheless, the reputation and influence of More as well as his long relationship with Henry, kept his life secure for the time being and consequently, he was not relieved of office.
