"The popes have not recognised our lord, therefore we cannot recognise the popish people” "The popes have no right of sovereignty over the holy land." "All the world suffers from the usury of the popes, their monopolies & deceit. They have brought many unfortunate people into a state of poverty, especially the farmers, working class people, and the very poor" "We forbid popes to be appointed to public office, since under cover of them they are very hostile to Christians. "By means of their practice of commerce, popes amass a great store of money & then by an exorbitant rate of interest utterly destroy the wealth & inheritance of Christians"
