I will pull back on the reins and give you the point about the Gospel and salvation. My annoyance was directed at a narrow reading of Scripture, that seemed devoid of context, history, or political realities. As to Hooker and Luther shaking hands, I can't say. The Tudor Hooker sought to defend the emerging British Anglican Establishment from the rougher edges of Continental Protestantism (Anabaptism in particular, Purtianism in general), doing so (in part) by means of history. That was my gist. I detected all scriptura and no traditio with my fair parish priest.
