Inverse Relationship of the Success/Failure of the Reformation

The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Zechariah 12:1

"Wycliff, Huss, Luther, -- the Reformers, -- stood upon the platform of "The Word of God, the whole Word of God, and nothing but the Word of God."
They abandoned the sophistries of the schools, and rested solely upon this declaration, which must be the basis of every true reform in all ages.

While this principle was adhered to,
--the Reformation succeeded gloriously:
--when the principle was abandoned, the Reformation suffered accordingly.
In the Word of God lies the strength of the work of God."
