“You are following the damned and pestiferous errors of John Wycliffe, who said, ‘It is not necessary for salvation to believe that the Roman Church is above all others.’ And you are espousing the pestilent errors of John Hus, who claimed that Peter neither was nor is the head of the Holy Catholic Church.” - John Eck Roland Bainton, Here I Stand, p.89 Church History 1000-1700 A.D.Part 4: Luther – The Later Years

“This touches God and His Word. This affects the salvation of souls. Of this Christ said, ‘He who denies me before men, him will I deny before My Father.’ To say too little or too much would be dangerous. I beg you, give me time to think it over.” - Martin Luther Roland Bainton, Here I Stand, p.141 Church History 1000-1700 A.D.Part 4: Luther – The Later Years
“Therefore, I ask by the mercy of God, may your most serene majesty, most illustrious lordships, or anyone at all who is able, either high or low, bear witness, expose my errors, overthrowing them by the writings of the prophets and the evangelists. Once I have been taught I shall be quite ready to renounce every error, and I shall be the first to cast my books into the fire.” - Martin Luther Mark Noll, Turning Points, p.153 Church History 1000-1700 A.D.Part 4: Luther – The Later Years
“Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither honest or safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.” - Martin Luther Roland Bainton, Here I Stand, p.144 Church History 1000-1700 A.D.Part 4: Luther – The Later Years
