 Pilgrimage and the Early Modern Stage
Above all, pilgrimage invoked the Catholic theology of grace, the idea that an individual could earn merit by their own actions and self abasement and thereby contribute to their own salvation.
Two years later, pilgrimages, hitherto discouraged, were formally banned by the injunctions of 1538 which forbade ‘wandering to pilgrimages, offering of money, candles or tapers to images or relics, or kissing or licking the same’.
The motif of pilgrimage was also used by writers such as Samuel Purchas to describe journeys to the new world, so it does appear that it remained an important concept, well into late Renaissance England.

 Grace In Action - My Pilgrimage to Grace: A Personal Testimony   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
As a pastor who was schooled in a theological tradition and had the lenses of a prejudiced hermeneutic properly fitted to his faith, I found it very difficult to accept a kind of grace that didn't include at least some measure of responsibility when it came to one's final salvation.
While all the time agreeing that salvation was by grace through faith, I also saw these "warning" passages teaching that a true believer could apostatize from Christ and forfeit eternal life.
What a blessing it is to see the lights go on in the eyes as the truth connects and sets people free from the curse of having to try to maintain their own salvation.
