  3  Pre     |     wished to retain the people, God has constantly advanced
  4  Pre     |           that I know certainly. God convert to repentance those
  5  Pre     |        churches are now, through God's grace, so enlightened
  6  Pre     |       estates as are contrary to God would be considered in the
  7  Pre     |        If we first had performed God's command and order in the
  8  Pre     |         this so many commands of God to observe in the Church,
  9  Pre     |       chief matters commanded of God are neither regarded nor
 10  Pre     |          weigh upon us and cause God not to be gracious to us;
 11    2     |           That Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, died for our sins,
 12    2     |          He alone is the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins
 13    2     |       the world, John 1, 29; and God has laid upon Him the iniquities
 14    2,  2 |           while only the Lamb of God shall and must do this,
 15    2,  2 |        has not been commanded by God; and every invention of
 16    2,  2 |          way [more acceptable to God], (yea, the only blessed
 17    2,  2 |     without the will and Word of God.~Fourthly. Since such innumerable
 18    2,  2 |  reconcile himself and others to God, and to obtain and merit
 19    2,  2 |        own work, but the Lamb of God and the Son of God, that
 20    2,  2 |       Lamb of God and the Son of God, that taketh away our sins.~
 21    2,  2 |      because without the Word of God he obeys a false human opinion
 22    2,  2 |    private devotion, and without God s Word and apart from the
 23    2,  2 |         Mass, so, by the help of God, I, too, would suffer myself
 24    2,  2 |      which is the prerogative of God alone.~Our Papists, however,
 25    2,  2 |         The rule is: The Word of God shall establish articles
 26    2,  2 |         of sins and the grace of God were sought, for the Mass
 27    2,  2 | pilgrimages, without the Word of God, have not been commanded
 28    2,  2 |     their parishes], the Word of God, wives, children, etc.,
 29    2,  2 |      bauble, without the Word of God, entirely unnecessary and
 30    2,  2 |          are without the Word of God; being neither commanded
 31    2,  2 |         good work and service of God, like the Mass, etc.~Sixthly.
 32    2,  2 |         only without the Word of God, without necessity, not
 33    2,  2 |         through the preaching of God's Word.~Of the Invocation
 34    2,  2 |      such honor belongs alone to God. For as a Christian and
 35    2,  3 |         and callings ordained by God. For all this also is contrary
 36    2,  4 |         according to the Word of God the head of all Christendom (
 37    2,  4 |        secular government, where God often permits much good
 38    2,  4 |          and worship] me as your god, and be subject and obedient
 39    2,  4 |   subject to this head, not from God's command, but from their
 40    2,  4 |  wherever and in whatever church God would grant a man fit for
 41    2,  4 |        ordained nor commanded by God. This is, properly speaking
 42    2,  4 |         above all that is called God as Paul says, 2 Thess. 2,
 43    2,  4 |      this account we must die in God s name. This all proceeds
 44    2,  4 |          whole world, and simply God on earth, until he has dared
 45    2,  4 |          and the commandments of God. Lastly, it is nothing else
 46    2,  4 |        because above and against God he urges [and disseminates]
 47    2,  4 |        devil himself as Lord and God, we can endure his apostle,
 48    3,  1 |        to be without the fear of God, presumption [recklessness],
 49    3,  1 |      short not to know or regard God; furthermore to lie, to
 50    3,  1 |           to swear by [to abuse] God's name [to swear falsely],
 51    3,  1 |        to pray, not to call upon God, not to regard [to despise
 52    3,  1 |           to despise or neglect] God's Word, to be disobedient
 53    3,  1 |          do] all the commands of God.~Again, that, by his natural
 54    3,  1 |     natural powers, man can love God above all things and his
 55    3,  1 |       does as much as is in him, God certainly grants him His
 56    3,  2 |        that the Law was given by God, first, to restrain sin
 57    3,  2 |          tell man that he has no God nor regards [cares for]
 58    3,  2 |          nor regards [cares for] God, and worships other gods,
 59    3,  2 |         an enemy of [enraged at] God, and to murmur, etc. This
 60    3,  3 |       does, saying: The wrath of God is revealed from heaven
 61    3,  3 |       the world is guilty before God. No man is righteous before
 62    3,  3 |      then, is the thunderbolt of God by which He strikes in a
 63    3,  3 |       know what they were before God, and might acknowledge that
 64    3,  3 |          which are taught], that God certainly bestows His grace
 65    3,  3 |         paid for his sins before God [atoned for his sins and
 66    3,  3 |         to the people: Prolong O God, my life, until I shall
 67    3,  3 |         and blot out sins before God. And with this intention
 68    3,  3 |        commended to the grace of God.~Moreover, since no one
 69    3,  3 |          to be sufficient before God, they gave this consolation:
 70    3,  3 |         in matters pertaining to God, gropes about, and, according
 71    3,  3 |          would earn grace before God.~Here, too, there was no
 72    3,  3 |      stupidity, and ignorance of God and God's will. For here
 73    3,  3 |         and ignorance of God and God's will. For here He is present
 74    3,  3 |        no man can be just before God. Therefore, if you wish
 75    3,  3 |          none that seeketh after God, there is none that doeth
 76    3,  3 |   unprofitable. And Acts 17, 30: God now commandeth all men everywhere
 77    3,  3 |   spotless and] innocent Lamb of God who taketh away the sin
 78    3,  3 |          9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin,...
 79    3,  4 |         and aid against sin; for God is superabundantly rich [
 80    3,  5 |    nothing else than the Word of God in the water, commanded
 81    3,  5 | Dominicans] who forget the Word (God's institution) and say that
 82    3,  5 |        institution) and say that God has imparted to the water
 83    3,  5 |         only through the will of God, and by no means through
 84    3,  6 |        especially condemn and in God's name execrate those who
 85    3,  6 |       above Christ, our Lord and God [opposing and placing themselves

 87    3,  7 |        our power, but belongs to God alone, to judge which, how
 88    3,  8 |         we must firmly hold that God grants His Spirit or grace
 89    3,  8 |         from the outward Word of God to spiritualizing and self-conceit,
 90    3,  8 |          he was righteous before God, and in such faith his prayers
 91    3,  8 |          alms were acceptable to God (as Luke calls him devout
 92    3,  8 |        maintain this point, that God does not wish to deal with
 93    3,  8 |         Word and Sacraments. For God wished to appear even to
 94    3,  8 |          of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved
 95    3,  11|       separate such creatures of God, or to forbid them from
 96    3,  11|         to have marriage free as God has instituted [and ordained]
