calling of a lawfull Councel Afterward Io. Hogostratus a Dominican writeth bitterly against Luther exciteth the Pope to use the rounder course of fire and faggot Luther answered him in briefe and told him of his cruell bent and wittily taxed the ignorance of the man and admonisheth him not to proceed to seeke laureolam in mustaceo the laurel garland in so mean a perfection In the yeere 1518. Luther though most men disswaded him yet to shew his observance of authority went for the most part on foot to the colledge of Hidelberg At Herbipolis the Bishop entertained him courteously So also did Wolfgang the Count Palatine at Hidelberg In the Colledge of the Augustinians now cal'd the Colledge of Sapience he disputed about Justification by faith Bucer was there present and by his quicknesse in writing tooke what Luther spake and imparted all to Beat. Rhenanus who gave Luther much deserved commendations Of this disputation Luther thus speaketh The Doctours admitted my disputing with them willingly and argued the matter with me with much modesty that in that very regard I hold them worth much commendations For though they thought that Divinity strong yet they all argued seriously and strongly against it except one alone who was the fifth of them a Iunior Doctour He made all the Auditory to laugh by saying if the Rustick rout should heare this they would stone and kill us Upon Luthers returne he wrote an Epistle to * Iudocus a Divine and Philosopher of Isenac once his Tutour Where he hath this speech All the Doctours of Wittenberge in the doctrine concerning grace and good workes are of my Iudgement yea the whole Vniversity except one licentiat Doctour Sebastian even the Prince himselfe and our Ordinary Bishop and many of the Chieftaines and all the ingenious Citi zens with joynt consent affirme that before they neither knew nor heard of the Gospel nor of Christ After that he put forth in print the resolutions and declarations of his propositions about Indulgences Wch he dedicated to Pope Leo the 3. as was before said The causes of his printing them were as he said to mitigate his adversaries to satisfie some mens request and not to suffer some to conceive that the whole businesse was determined For he confessed that of many things he yet doubted of some things he was ignorant and did pertinaciously affirme nothing but did humbly submit all to the Popes determination Hereupon Maximilian the Emperour being solicitous of the event of disputations of this nature moved the Pope to interpose his own authoritie The Pope by Tho. Cajetan Cardinal cited Luther to Rome This he also desired of Frederick Elector of Saxony Luther having notice hereof mainly indeavoured that the cause might be handled in Germany under competent Judges and at length he prevailed by the mediation of Wittenberg * Vniversity to the Pope and by Charles Multitius a German the Popes Chamberlain and the mediation of the Elector of Saxony to Cajetan then the Popes Legate that at Auspurg before the Legate himself Luther might plead his own cause About the beginning of October Luther came on foot to Auspurg in his hood borrowed of Wenceslaus Linkius and much wearied with the journey and upon assurance of his safetie was admitted to the Cardinals presence Who admonished him first To become a sound member of the Church and to recant the errours which he had divulged secondly to promise that he would not again teach his former doctrines thirdly that he would abstain from other doctrines which would disturb the peace of the Church Here also it was objected to him that he denyed the Merit of Christ to be a treasure of Indulgences and that he taught that faith was necessary for all which should come to the Sacrament Cajetan proved his own opinion by the decree of Clement the sixth and at large extolled the authoritie of the See of Rome as being falsly preferred before all Scriptures and Councels After much debating the matters Luther intreated some time to deliberate thereon and returned the next day and in the presence of some witnesses and a Scribe and foure of the Emperours Counsellors professed that he gave the Church of Rome all due observance and if he had spoken any thing dissenting from the judgement of the Church he would reverse it but could revoke no errour being not yet convicted by Scripture of any and did appeale to the judgement of the Church Hereupon the Legate sharply chiding Luther dismissed him and dealt with Staupicius to bring Luther to revoke what he had taught But Luther not convinced as yet by Scripture persisted in the trueth Yet at length fearing least the Cardinal should make more use of his power and greatnesse then Scholarlike disputations he appealed to Rome and departed from Auspurg Octob. 20. Because the Cardinal charged him not to come into his presence unlesse he would recant Yet Luther left behind him an epistle to the Cardinal and affixed thereunto a formal appeale unto the Pope Cajetan took Luthers departure in ill part and wrote to the Duke of Saxony that he would either send Luther to Rome or banish him out of his territories and intreateth him not to give credit to Luthers defenders and to take heed of staining the illustrious Family whence he was descended The Elector returned answer That now it was not in his power to do this because Luther was not convicted of any errour and did much good service in the Vniversitie and did offer his cause to triall and disputation The resolution of the Duke was more confirmed by an Epistle of Erasmus and the intercession and vote of the Vniversitie of Wittenberg Here I may not passe over a notable proofe of Luthers Heroike courage When Luther came to Auspurg he by the counsell of such as the Prince Elector sent with him waited three dayes for to have the Emperours Letters for his safetie In the mean time the Cardinal sent one for Luther but he denyed to come untill the Emperour granted what he desired At this the messenger was offended and said Do you think that Prince Frederick will take up armes in your behalfe I desire it not said Luther in any wise Then the Partie Where then will you abide Luther answered Vnder the cope of Heaven The Italian replyed Had you the Pope and the Cardinals in your power what would you do I would said Luther give them all due honour and reverence At this the Messenger after the Italian manner biting his thumbs went away Upon these dealings Luthers spirit fainted not yet least he should cause detriment or danger to any one or derive suspicion on his Prince and that he might more freely deale with the Papall crue would have gone into France or some other countrey But his friends on the contrary counselled him to stick firmely to Saxony and that the Popes Legate should be

Usury In the beginning of the yeere 1541. Luther wrote a consolatory letter to Frederik Myconius lamentably spent with a Consumption and affirmed that himself could have no joy to live if he died and thereupon wished that he himself might first lay down the tabernacle of his weake body and said that he was verily perswaded that his prayers should be granted for Myconius life As indeed it came to passe for Myconius out-lived Luther six yeers and would say that Luther obtained this for him by his prayers After Easter Bernard the infant sonne of Iohn of Anhalt was baptized at Dessaw Here Luther preached two Sermons to the Courtiers the Brother of the Prince of Anhalt and the Bishop of Brandenburgh which were printed He wrote also an Answer to a rayling book of one whom he calleth Hans Wurst Wherein he defended himself and his doctrin against the Papists and their Popish errours He put forth also an Exhortation to prayer against the Turk and answered the Princes questions concerning Transubstantiation Free-will Justification by faith and other points About this time the Bishoprick of Neoburg by Sala was voyd There Nicolas Amsdorf a Divine born of a noble Family was enstalled by Luther at the command of the Elector of Saxony the Patron of that Diocesse and Iulius Pflugius whom the Canons of the Colledge chose was refused Luther placed him in the Bishoprick Ian. 20. An. 1542. This thing as many conceived gave occasion to other stirres and very much offended the Emperour who much affected Pfugius for divers respects Of this see more in Amsdorfs life After this Luther wrote a book in the German tongue and call'd it The Pattern of the inauguration of a true Christian Bishop He published at that time the Alcoran which by Richard a Dominican was translated into the vulgar tongue He added to it a faithfull admonition concerning the abandoning the Turks doctrin and affirmed that not the Turk but the Pope was Antichrist And upon a difference rising between the Elector of Saxony and Maurice concerning the territories and town of Wurcen so that warre was likely to ensue Luther with weightie reasons in his letters disswaded both the Princes from their designes He further also opened his judgement about a Position some yeeres agone by him propounded Namely that to warre against the Turk was nothing else but to fight against God who useth him as his whip to scourge us Now also he wrote a consolatory letter concerning abortive birthes and bringing forth dead children The yeers 1543 and 44 produced many great troubles and stirres For now the Sacramentary contention began afresh to Melancthons great grief whom some attempted to set at jarres with Luther Some there were also who sought to coole Luthers heat and spake little more favourably of the Rhenan Churches then of the Turks Wherefore when Christopher Froschoverus the Printer of Tigur sent Luther a copie of his Tigurin Bible then Printed Luther admonished him by his letter that he should not publish anything which came to him from the Ministers of Tigur and that he had nothing to do with them nor would receive or read their books that the Churches of God could not joyne in Communion with them who already were running into the way of Perdition and would bring others into hell and damnation and that he would oppugne them with his prayers and books whilest he lived And now Luther first wrote against the Jews and refuted their lies and their blasphemous conceit about Shemhamphoras the name of God expounded He also wrote his judgement and a short answer to Casp. Schwenckfelds book and letter whom he bad not to mention him in his writings and sent him away with this answer The Lord reprove Satan who is in thee confusion befall the Spirit which called thee and the course which thou runnest and all the Sacramentarians and Eutychians who partake with thee and all thy blasphemies Thou doest as they of whom it was written they ran and I sent them not they spake and I commanded them not He wrote also his minde to others concerning the Ceremonies and excommunication he desired that there should be few Ceremonies and they tending to edification and that excommunication should be brought into the Church as a profitable discipline but could scarce hope to see it He admonished the young students at Wittenberg to avoyd fornication with wch some then were taxed yea he threatned that he would hold no societie with men of that ill condition and tarried some time at Mersburg with the Prince of Anhalt But afterward he was call'd to his ordinary taske by the University sending for him an honourable Embassie About this time he wrote an excellent Commentary upon the last words of David wherein he soundly and plainly declared the Article of the Trinitie the distinction of the persons Christs Deitie and humanitie In the yeere 1544. he finished the first part of his Commentaries on Genesis in which he often blameth the Sacramentarians and foretelleth that after his death many would oppugne Luthers doctrin Then in September he published the briefe and last Confession concerning the Eucharist wherein he expressely explaineth what in the Lords Supper is received by the worthy receivers what by the unworthy what by faith what without faith and censures Zwinglius Oecolampadius and others at Tigur who set forth an Apologie of their doctrin the yeere following Of this * elsewhere is spoken This very yeere the 17. of November he finished his explication of Genesis which was his last publique reading in the Universitie which he concluded with these words Thus end I my explication on Genesis God grant that others may more rightly and truly expound it then I have done I cannot proceed farther therein my strength faileth me pray for me that it would please God to grant me a quiet and comfortable departure out of this life This yeere in Italy was spread a most impudent lie about Luthers death The summe of it translated out of the Italian is this A stupendious rare miracle which God ever to be praised shewed about the filthy death of Martin Luther a man damned both in body and soule so that it conduced to the glory of Jesus Christ and the amendment and comfort of godly men When Martin Luther was sick he desired the Lords body to be communicated to him which he receiving died presently When he saw that he must die he requested that his body might be set upon the Altar and be adored with divine worship But God to put an end to his horrible errours by a great miracle warned the people to abstain from the impietie which Luther invented For when his body was laid in his grave suddenly so great a stirre and terrour arose as if the foundations of the earth were shaken together Whereupon all at the funerall trembling were astonished and after a while
