“Since then your sere Majesty and your Lordships seek a simple
answer, I will give it in this manner, neither horned nor toothed.
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 cannot and I will not recant
anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience.
May God help me. Amen."
