Name that Quote

Who said:

All sermons which are made up of fine spun distinctions and traditions of men, are exceedingly cold and unimpressive; since nothing can be put forth of that kind, but some acute opponent may overturn it. Holy Scripture alone is clothed with such power and authority, that, setting aside all our reasonings, it constrains us to say, never man spake like this.

Here's a clue: think Reformation era.

This was spoken by Frederick of Saxony, Luther's protector, to Johann Von Staupitz, Vicar-General of the Augustinian Order in Germany and Luther's superior.

You will see that it was unfair to expect anyone to know it, but then life isn't fair, is it?
