First I Shake The Whole Apple Tree,

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-my Conscience Is Captive To The Word Of God. I Cannot And Will Not Recant Anything, For To Go Against Conscience Is Neither Right Nor Safe. Here I Stand, I Cannot Do Otherwise. God Help Me. Amen.

We Are Beginning To Regain A Knowledge Of Creation, A Knowledge Forfeited By The Fall Of Adam. By God's Mercy We Can Begin To Recognize His Wonderful Works And Wonders Also In Flowers When We Ponder His Might And Goodness. Therefore We Laud, Magnify And Thank Him.

To Pray Diligently Is More Than Half The Task.

Anything That One Imagines Of God Apart From Christ Is Only Useless Thinking And Vain Idolatry.

I Must Remain A Child And Pupil Of The Catechism, And Am Glad So To Remain.
