The Reformation was not a sudden event. It was the result of a long series of causes, which had been operating for centuries. The corruption of the Church, the ignorance of the people, and the general decay of religion, had all contributed to bring about this great change. The invention of printing, the revival of learning, and the discovery of the New World, had all helped to prepare the way for the Reformation. The spirit of inquiry, which had been awakened by these events, was now to be directed towards the Church, and the result was to be the Reformation.
