2] Calibration
Martin Luther Quote pg 56
“Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other.

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe.
God help me.
Amen.”
