““Since then your majesty and your lordships desire a simple reply, I will answer without horns or without teeth. Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason- I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other- my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe.”
“Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scriptures.”
“The Holy Spirit himself and God, the Creator of all things, is the Author of this book.”
“But be assured that no one will make a doctor of the Holy Scripture save only the Holy Ghost from heaven.”
“There is not a word in the Bible which is extra cruem, which can be understood without reference to the cross.”
