Dan Van VoorhisHOST
And it would come down not to a diet that's political, but instead a colloquy that's theological.
Dan Van VoorhisHOST
It was on this, the 1st of October in 1529, that the Colloquy at Marburg convened at the Marburg Castle at the behest of Philip of Hesse.
Dan Van VoorhisHOST
It was a who's who of reformers from Luther and Melanchthon, Bucer, Brenz, Osiander, Ocalampadius, and Zwingli.
Dan Van VoorhisHOST
The first article affirmed the Nicene Creed and noted that it should be read and sung in church.
Lyndal RoperGUEST
Well, one of the consequences is that the Reformation is able to survive with the support of many lords, and one of the reasons why they support the Reformation, of course, it's not the only one, but it's clear what wealth there is in convents and monasteries and what you could do with that wealth if you secularized them.
Lyndal RoperGUEST
So what you see in Saxony, in the electoral part of Saxony, in Hesse, and in various other places, is that lords do exactly that.
Lyndal RoperGUEST
So someone like Philip of Hesse is able to set up a university, a hospital, you name it, by taking those revenues, taking the farms that monasteries and convents had owned, secularizing the lot, and using the wealth for different purposes because they've seen, from what the peasants did, just how much wealth there was and what you could do with it.
Lyndal RoperGUEST
So one legacy is that Lutheranism survives through making that alliance with secular power.
Waleed AlyHOST
Mm.

But it didn't look straightforward because, of course, on the Catholic side, people said, well, it's all Luther's fault.
Ed HumpalNARRATOR
Amongst whom was Patrick Hamilton, a Scotchman born of high and noble stock and of the king's blood, of excellent towardness, twenty-three years of age, called Abbot of Fern.
Ed HumpalNARRATOR
Coming out of his country with three companions to seek godly learning, he went to the University of Marburg in Germany, which university was then newly erected by Philip, Landgrave of Hesse.
Ed HumpalNARRATOR
During his residence here, he became intimately acquainted with those eminent lights of the Gospel, Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon, from whose writings and doctrines he strongly attached himself to the Protestant religion.
Ed HumpalNARRATOR
The Archbishop of St. Andrews, who was a rigid Papist, learning of Mr. Hamilton's proceedings, caused him to be seized, and being brought before him, after a short examination relative to his religious principles, he committed him a prisoner to the castle, at the same time ordering him to be confined in the most loathsome part of the prison.
Ed HumpalNARRATOR
The next morning, Mr. Hamilton was brought before the bishop and several others for examination, when the principal articles exhibited against him were his publicly disapproving of pilgrimages, purgatory, prayers to saints for the dead, etc.

Derek WoodleyNARRATOR
I am sorry that I ever held or thought otherwise, and I beseech Almighty God that of his mercy he will vouchsafe to forgive me whatsoever I have offended against God or his church, and also I desire and beseech all Christian people to pray for me.
Derek WoodleyNARRATOR
And all such as have been deceived either by mine example or doctrine, I require them by the blood of Jesus Christ that they will return to the unity of the church, that we may be all one of mind, without schism or division.
Derek WoodleyNARRATOR
And to conclude as I submit myself to the catholic church of Christ, and to the supreme head thereof, so I submit myself to the most excellent majesties of Philip and Mary, king and queen of this realm of England, etc., and to all other their laws and ordinances, being ready always as a faithful subject ever to obey them.
