Excerpt from Martin LutherNevertheless, we are told, he should not have fallen away from the church, his act divided Christendom into two camps, and, with varying battle cries, the old quarrel lasts down into our own days. Those who think thus may assert with equal justice that the holy, mystical apostasy from Judaism was not necessary, why did not the Apos tles reform the venerable high-priesthood of Zion? They may maintain that the Englishman Hampden would have done better to pay the ship-money and instruct the Stu arts peaceably, that the Prince of Orange committed a crime when he refused to lay his head and sword, like Egmont, into the hands of Alva, that Washington was a traitor because he did not surrender himself and his army to the English. They may condemn as a crime everything great and new in thought and life that ever broke forth in the struggle against the old.To few mortals was it given to exercise so great an in¿uence upon both their contemporaries and posterity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
