“Immediately [upon the striking truth of 1 Timothy 1:15 driven into his heart]. I felt a marvellous comfort and quietness, insomuch that my bruised bones lept for joy, Psal. 51:8. After this, the Scripture began to be more pleasant unto me than the honey or the honeycomb; wherein I learned that all my labours, my fasting and watching, all the redemption of masses and pardons, being done without truth in Christ, who alone saveth his people from their sins.”
Thomas Bilney (ca. 1495-1531), English Christian martyr
