The Sixty-Seven Articles of Zwingli:
The articles and opinions below, I, Ulrich Zwingli, confess to have preached in the worthy city of Zurich as based upon the Scriptures which are called inspired by God, and I offer to protect and conquer with the said articles, and where I have not now correctly understood said Scriptures I shall allow myself to be taught better, but only from said Scriptures.

Article XXIII. That Christ scorns the property and pomp of this world, whence from it follows that those who attract wealth to themselves in His name slander Him terribly when they make Him a pretext for their avarice and willfulness.
