"The Wittenberg theologians thought nothing would come of new efforts to win the English king [King Henry VIII]. They thought he was stubborn and acting contrary to his conscience with his new religious politics. They clearly saw that Henry's ecclesiastical decisions were made only for political reasons and that he interpreted the truth however he pleased.
