209 2, 2| God, whilst he was himself careful to adorn and to preserve
210 1, 0| the cause to God. He also carefully read the polemic writings

267 2, 2| without any evil design, have complained that Luther was unduly severe;
268 2, 0| was attacked by his usual complaint to which I remember he had
269 1, 0| derived from a copious and complete notice of these incidents,
270 1, 0| in those parts.. Here he completed his grammatical studies.
271 1, 0| these men he directed to compose something against Luther,

275 1, 0| surpassed all others in the comprehensive range of reading and disputation

277 2, 2| although irreligious men conceive that the interests of this
278 1, 0| understandings, for the first time conceived a horror at the barbarous
279 1, 0| question, I unhesitatingly conclude that a mind which so constantly
280 1, 0| following passage "God has concluded them all in unbelief that
281 2, 2| our lives in Thy fear." In conclusion, as we are aware that the
282 1, 0| hypocrites who either deride or condemn the plain truth, it is my
283 1, 0| blasphemy under the awful condemnation of God, which pertinaciously
284 1, 0| opinions; these Luther severely condemned, but he lent his own influence
285 1, 0| were not in a flourishing condition, and on this account, when
286 1, 0| with the circumstances of' conflict attending it; and this he

288 1, 0| almost to deprive him of consciousness; and I myself have seen
289 1, 0| obtained in that neighbourhood consequently great. The affection which

297 1, 0| conclude that a mind which so constantly abode within the bounds
298 2, 2| Gospel, we may ourselves constitute the house and church of
299 1, 0| and prayer. He possessed a constitution at which I have often marvelled,
300 2, 2| Remission of Sins, we are constrained to acknowledge that Luther
301 1, 0| dialectic writings, which contain doctrine wholesome and necessary
302 1, 0| than others have done. The contamination of their own times always
303 2, 2| demonstrated, and which in faith he contemplated, he now beholds with open
304 1, 0| he speedily surpassed his contemporaries, both in the copiousness
305 1, 0| mindful of his calling, he contended by argument alone, and forbade
306 2, 2| far removed he was from contention and strife, whilst to all
307 1, 0| grieved by the report of these contests, foreseeing as he did, that
308 1, 0| he affixed to the church contiguous to the castle of Wittemburg,
