This only will I speak, and that in a word: they which brought in transubstantiations, masses, calling upon saints, sole life, purgatory, images, vows, trifles, follies, babbles, into the church of God, have delivered new things, and which the scriptures never heard of. Whatsoever they cry or crack, they bring not a jot out of the word of God... These they honour instead of the scriptures, and force them to the people instead of the word of God: upon these men suppose their salvation and the sum of religion to be grounded.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "This only will I speak, and that in a word: they which brought in transubstantiations, masses, calling upon saints, sole life, purgatory, images, vows, trifles, follies, babbles, into the church of God, have delivered new things, and which the scriptures never heard of. Whatsoever they cry or crack, they bring not a jot out of the word of God... These they honour instead of the scriptures, and force them to the people instead of the word of God: upon these men suppose their salvation and the sum of religion to be grounded." in the context of "John Jewel, A Learned and Godly Sermon, made in the Latin Tongue, in St Mary's, in Oxenford, Upon the Sunday after the Ascension, in the Reign of King Edward the Sixth (1550 or 1551), quoted in The Works of John Jewel, Bishop of Salisbury. The Second Portion (1847), p. 960" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
