38544 | Dr. Jonas called into his ear,"Reverend father, are you firmly determined to die upon Christ and the doctrine you have preached?" |
38544 | Evidently vexed at this reply, Urban asked,"Do you think that the elector will go to war on your account?" |
38544 | For he hoped by this visit to the holy(?) |

16797 | Henceforth the question was, Which of them should sway the nations in the time to come? |
16797 | His father hated monkery, and he shared the feeling; but, if it would save him, why hesitate? |

16797 | The whole history is this: Are these your books? |
16797 | WAS PENN AWARE OF THESE PLANS? |
16797 | Was he right? |

7970 | ''Who knows,''he said,''what God may wish to do?'' |
7970 | ''Would you come to Bologna?'' |
7970 | And did not the very futility of his own endeavours hitherto prove that it was the former fate that hung over him? |
7970 | But we call to mind the words he had spoken in 1532,''Who knows what God will do before ten years are over?'' |
7970 | But what fruit, indeed, could be looked for from his words, uttered evidently with violent inward emotion, when popular passion was so excited? |
7970 | Does He say that to the wind, or does He throw his words before animals?... |

7970 | How dare a man make a vow to God, which God must first endue him with the power to keep? |
7970 | How far obedience is due to it? |
7970 | How was that consistent with the acts of ecclesiastical penance, such as absolution in particular, which must be obtained from the priest? |
7970 | If I have stood up against the Pope, why should I yield to his creature?'' |

7970 | Meanwhile Butzer and Philip had to rest content with this; and was it not an important step forwards? |
7970 | Must not the letter of the Old Testament be the law for other things as well as images? |
7970 | My sins, death, Satan with all his angels-- all rage unceasingly; and what could comfort me if Christ were to forsake me, for Whose sake they hate me? |

16322 | But is it not horrid? |
16322 | But what are they doing this beastly work for? |
16322 | Now tell me, how much sense does the head have that lays down a command on a matter where it has no authority? 16322 What is it?" |

16322 | 2, 8), or when he speaks slightingly of the observance on which the Colossians prided themselves as"rudiments of the world"( Col. 2, 20)? |

16322 | Ah, says our Catholic critic, but was he not free to change his mind? |

16322 | But did not Luther sanction the bigamy of Philip of Hesse? |
16322 | But did not the Lord proceed to declare Peter the rock on which He would build His Church? |
16322 | But does this estimate of Luther square with the facts in the case? |
16322 | But if these laymen are allowed to do their work without restraint, what do the Romanist scribes mean by their laws? |
16322 | But should not the spiritual and temporal powers combine to find some means of meeting these difficulties without any such heathen practise? |
16322 | But supposing there were superabundant merits, supererogatory works of Christ and the saints, who has determined their quantity? |
16322 | But was it necessary, in speaking of the inability of the Law to save men, to use such strong and contemptuous terms as Luther has used? |
16322 | But what about the answer of the Lord to the rich young man? |
16322 | But what about the many coarse references in Luther''s writings to sexual matters- references which are unprintable nowadays? |

16322 | If Peter possessed the supremacy that Catholics claim for him, how and by what right did he dispose of it at his death? |
16322 | If a priest is killed, the country is laid under an interdict; why not also if a peasant is killed? |
16322 | If any engage in such proceedings and drag my name into it, what can I do to stop them? |
16322 | If that is the case, why do they attack Luther for his attempt to have the abuses corrected? |
16322 | If the people of Israel existed without this scandal, why should not a Christian nation be able do so? |

16322 | Is it anything else in the case of other men? |
16322 | Is it not remarkable that Joseph Smith himself does not cite Luther as his authority in defense of plural marriages? |

16322 | Luther, Repudiates the Ten Commandments? |
16322 | Now tell me, how can a man see, know, judge, sentence, and change the heart? |
16322 | Or to Hallam in his_ Middle Ages_, where he reports concubinage in Europe? |
16322 | Or to Lea, who proves that this evil was not confined to the laity? |

16322 | Would not every firm believer in the deity and Redeemership of Christ become the rock on which the Church is built just as much as Peter? |
16322 | Yes, so the text reads, and with Luther we should now inquire: Was it a brass, or silver, or golden, or wooden key? |

16322 | note: sic] subjected to? |

36433 | And_ you_ think? |
36433 | Are you addressing me? |
36433 | Are you the man who is to overturn the popedom? |
36433 | But are these feuds never to die out? |

36433 | But what will be the portion of those who call what God sanctions sin,he said,"and bring trouble and pollution into hearts as pure as hers?" |
36433 | But who is to begin it? |

36433 | Can they not send any one else? |
36433 | Cousin Elsè,replied Eva,"did you not see the mother''s lip quiver when she turned to wish us good night?" |

36433 | Does the lady know Chriemhild and Atlantis Cotta? |
36433 | Does this satisfy her conscience? |
36433 | Elsè,he said,"how long have those fires been burning in the streets?" |
36433 | Eva,I whispered at last,"do you not think there are rather strange and unaccountable noises around us? |
36433 | Even to me? |
36433 | Has he not fought all our battles for us for years? 36433 Has no one ever tried?" |
36433 | Have we not the Saviour? |
36433 | Have you friends in Basel? |
36433 | Have you sold many of these? |
36433 | How can it be,I said one day to Fritz,"that all the world seems so utterly to misunderstand God?" |
36433 | How can you ask such questions? |
36433 | How did you like the convent, Eva? |
36433 | How dost thou know that? |
36433 | How is it,I said to Eva,"that Elsè or Thekla did not tell us of this? |
36433 | If the ship itself,as Gottfried says,"is exposed to shipwreck, who, then, can secure the cargo?" |
36433 | Is Dr. Luther much changed? |
36433 | Is Martin Luther here? |
36433 | Is he not a veteran, Heinz? |
36433 | Is it then sin to call anything our own? |
36433 | Is not God everywhere? |
36433 | Is this book for sale? |
36433 | Is this indeed what the Lord Christ is like? |
36433 | Is your father anything else than a schoolmaster, Agnes? |
36433 | It is impossible,she replied;"have we not the Holy Father''s own word? |
36433 | Little Eva,I said,"what has become of your''Theologia Teutsch?'' |
36433 | Martin,I said,"do you not know me?" |
36433 | Mother,I said,"do you think Aunt Agnes has been praying again for this?" |
36433 | My dear child, what art thou? |
36433 | O Lord, my God, where art thou? 36433 Or the emperor?" |
36433 | Or the knights? |
36433 | Or the prelates? |
36433 | Or the princes? |
36433 | Perhaps not,said Gottfried;"but the last enemy will be overcome at last, and who knows how soon?" |
36433 | Repentance for me,she said,"would be to leave him, would it not?" |
36433 | Share in what? |
36433 | Since when? |
36433 | Then he said,''How goes it at Basel? 36433 Then it was not because we teased her, and were noisy, she was taken away? |
36433 | They say his life is blameless, do they not? |
36433 | Think of the father and the children, Eva,I said;"If our mother and I should be seized next, what would they do?" |
36433 | Until when? |
36433 | Was it for learning? |
36433 | Was it then for courage? |
36433 | We said,--''Gladly would we do that, but what shall we call you, that he may understand the greeting?'' |
36433 | What are you thinking of, Elsè? |
36433 | What did the knight say to you, Christopher? |
36433 | What does that mean? |
36433 | What does that mean? |
36433 | What is all this talk about Dr. Luther and his these s? |
36433 | What is it needful that a Christian should know for his salvation? |
36433 | What is it, Cousin Elsè? |
36433 | What is our sleep,he said,"but a kind of death? |
36433 | What is the reason that God gives? |
36433 | What is this? |
36433 | What is your lading? |
36433 | What is your name, friend, and where are you bound? |
36433 | What moves him to it? 36433 What other books have you?" |
36433 | What shall I do when my thoughts wander, as they always do in the long prayers? |
36433 | What then,said Eva,"has been gained by his teaching and his work?" |
36433 | What will the infection matter to me if he dies? |
36433 | What would you do, Eva? |
36433 | Where does that sentence come from, Eva? |
36433 | Who are stricken? |
36433 | Who did the deed, and what was burned? |
36433 | Who recommended you to do that? |
36433 | Who said such a thing of our mother? |
36433 | Who was her grandfather? |
36433 | Who, then, will venture to begin? |
36433 | Why have you no altar? |
36433 | Why not? |
36433 | Why should Dr. Luther think it necessary to conclude with a declaration that he is no heretic? |
36433 | Why should I be? |
36433 | Why,he said,"should men be so inflamed against him? |
36433 | With whom, then, had they fought? |
36433 | You have never heard Dr. Luther preach? |
36433 | You remember telling us of the martyrdom of St. Sebastian by the heathen emperor? |
36433 | You think so? 36433 You will not forget us, sister?" |
36433 | _ Does_ He not welcome you? |
36433 | Again--"I believe in Jesus Christ,"& c."What does that mean?" |
36433 | All seems to me clear and bright after the resurrection; but_ now_? |
36433 | Am I bringing down blessings on those I love, or curses?" |
36433 | Am I not even at times more burdened with it? |
36433 | Am I not in it,--actually_ in_ it_ now_? |
36433 | Am I resisting His higher calling in only obeying the humbler call of every- day duty? |
36433 | And Fritz''s voice asked gently--"What does that mean?" |
36433 | And I would also have asked her,"Dear St. Elizabeth, my patroness, what is it in heaven that makes you so happy there?" |
36433 | And are not Eva and Fritz indeed our family saints and patrons? |
36433 | And at Wittemberg, in happy homes, and in the convent, are not my beloved singing it too? |
36433 | And at the end,"What does Amen mean?" |
36433 | And can I doubt that he and his devout, affectionate little wife, who visits the poor and nurses the sick, love God and try to serve him? |
36433 | And can we do nothing for her now?" |
36433 | And did not St. Paul himself say, as Dr. Luther told us,''Sinners, of whom I am chief?''" |
36433 | And do we not hear him preach once every Sunday? |
36433 | And do you think I would leave him to bear his blighted life alone?" |
36433 | And had God heard her? |
36433 | And have we not a high grammar- school which Dr. Luther founded, and in which our dear father teaches Latin? |
36433 | And if they are not pleased, would that be saint- like? |
36433 | And if this might be so with future confessions, why not with all past ones? |
36433 | And is not Eisleben Dr. Luther''s birth- place? |
36433 | And on the father''s heart what child could say,"Make me as one of thy hired servants?" |
36433 | And one asks,''What about, then?'' |
36433 | And shall not my fastings, vigils, disciplines, prayers be as effectual for their souls? |
36433 | And shall we call him instead a heathen foreign name, that none of your kindred were ever known by?" |
36433 | And then we inquired,"''Sir, can you inform us if Martin Luther is now at Wittemberg, or if not, where he is?'' |
36433 | And then, in Paradise, where love will no longer be in danger of becoming sin, may we not be together for ever and for ever? |
36433 | And then, shall I regret that I abandoned the brief polluted joys of earth for the pure joys of eternity? |
36433 | And then, suddenly we heard Dr. Luther''s voice behind us saying, in his ringing, inspiring tones,"Friends, what are you doing? |
36433 | And then, what is the worth of confession? |
36433 | And then, what_ are_ the highest places in heaven? |
36433 | And was this the experience of one who is now a saint on the most glorious heights of heaven? |
36433 | And we outside? |
36433 | And what are these ecclesiastical benefits? |
36433 | And what are those rules at the court of heaven? |
36433 | And what have we gained by our pilgrimage? |
36433 | And what is death itself but a night sleep? |
36433 | And what lot can be so blessed as ours? |
36433 | And what shall console us for that, when the presence of all that Christians most venerate is powerless to arrest it? |
36433 | And what will Martin Luther''s be? |
36433 | And what would have been the result? |
36433 | And when it was asked,--"Who receives the holy sacrament worthily?" |
36433 | And where in the New Testament do you find it forbidden?" |
36433 | And wherefore? |
36433 | And who could help welcoming little Eva? |
36433 | And who has gained the victory there? |
36433 | And who knows what beyond? |
36433 | And why is not one vow as good as another? |
36433 | And why should they excite so much attention? |
36433 | And will God accept such a sacrifice as this? |
36433 | And yet, am I so entirely free from care as I ought to be? |
36433 | And yet, if so, why do not the monks preach of it? |
36433 | And yet, what could even the wisest confessor do for me in such difficulties? |
36433 | And, you learned men, did you never read the Scriptures,''Thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother?'' |
36433 | Another year all but closed-- a year of mingled storm and sunshine? |
36433 | Are a few peaceable days to be purchased at the sacrifice of eternal truth? |
36433 | Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? |
36433 | Are there any keys on earth to_ lock_ them again, when once they have been opened? |
36433 | Are these all your grievances, little Agnes?" |
36433 | Are these fears God''s merciful preparations for some dreadful tidings about to reach us? |
36433 | Are we indeed nearer heaven here? |
36433 | Are we not all children, little children, in his sight? |
36433 | Are you sure he will live, even now?" |
36433 | Are you sure, Eva, it means_ he loves us_?" |
36433 | Art thou dead? |
36433 | Art thou poor? |
36433 | Art thou rich? |
36433 | As great as our burgomaster, or as Master Trebonius? |
36433 | At length I said--"Eva, how old were you when Fritz became a monk?" |
36433 | Because if he is more pitiful to sinners than all the saints, which of all the saints can be beloved of God as he is, the well- beloved Son? |
36433 | Besides, if he had a vocation, what curse might not follow despising it? |
36433 | Besides, what have I to say? |
36433 | Beyond all treasures is thy grace;-- Oh, when wilt thou thy steps retrace And satisfy me with thy face, And make me wholly glad? |
36433 | Bitterly I reproached myself; but what could I have done? |
36433 | But are we to call our Eva, Ave? |
36433 | But are you really not at all afraid?" |
36433 | But benefits of what kind? |
36433 | But can it be possible that any would ever feel at ease, and happy, so very near the Almighty? |
36433 | But do_ you_? |
36433 | But for me? |
36433 | But hold out the hand of fellowship to those who betray any part of his Lords trust, he thinks,--how dare he? |
36433 | But how can I be writing so much about my own tiny world, when all the world around me is agitated by such great fears and hopes? |
36433 | But how can I murmur when my loving Elsè is spared to us?" |
36433 | But how would she like the order in which places in heaven are assigned? |
36433 | But how? |
36433 | But in abolishing it, what regard had you for order and decency? |
36433 | But is it not written that God gives this freely to those who believe on his Son? |
36433 | But is it so? |
36433 | But is not that the legacy of the Saviour to all who love him? |
36433 | But oh, can it be possible that God would take me back, not after long years of penance, but_ now_, and_ here_, to his very heart?" |
36433 | But on the other side of the grave he will not be lonely, will he? |
36433 | But ought it to have been put down in the way it has been? |
36433 | But were they not blasphemy? |
36433 | But what becomes of sincerity of heart, of faith, of Christian love? |
36433 | But when will that be to me? |
36433 | But where am I to begin? |
36433 | But who can assure me I am a true penitent? |
36433 | But who can tell? |
36433 | But who can tell? |
36433 | But who is to teach our peasants now? |
36433 | But why was all that was gentlest and noblest in him made to work towards this last dreadful step? |
36433 | But you will not tell? |
36433 | Can it be possible I am envious of little Eva-- dear, little, loving, orphan Eva? |
36433 | Can it then be God''s intention that the growth of our spiritual life is only growing sensitiveness to pain? |
36433 | Can it, indeed, be possible that God is pleased when we trust him,--pleased when we pray, simply because he loves us? |
36433 | Can life ever be quite the same again? |
36433 | Can sorrow only confer this gift of knowing where to find the hidden springs in the heart? |
36433 | Can this be what God means? |
36433 | Can you go and speak a few words of comfort to her?" |
36433 | Could I have wished it? |
36433 | Could I look up with confidence to God? |
36433 | Could Mary even, the dear mother of our Lord, escape? |
36433 | Could it be possible that the end of all my aspirations might after all be the monk''s frock? |
36433 | Could it be possible that the truth of God was banished to the mountain fastnesses? |
36433 | Could it be that such changes were passing on us also, and that we were failing to observe them? |
36433 | Dare I for her sake?--dare I still more for my own? |
36433 | Did I indeed confess completely even to the Vicar- General? |
36433 | Did not a sword pierce thine, O mournful mother of consolations? |
36433 | Did not my vow save precious lives? |
36433 | Did not one of them relent, and take pity on his mother and his father? |
36433 | Did not she also live too often as if under a curse? |
36433 | Did not the Lamb of God, dying for us on the cross, bear our sins there, and blot them out? |
36433 | Did not the convent through her become a home or a way to the Eternal Home to many? |
36433 | Did you see their Bambino last Christmas? |
36433 | Do all monks have such a conflict? |
36433 | Do not acts of violence and words of mockery necessarily make more noise in the world than prayers? |
36433 | Do the ecclesiastical indulgences save men from disease, and sorrow, and death? |
36433 | Do you think God said it to your father from heaven, in a vision or a dream, as he speaks to the saints?" |
36433 | Do you think it is wrong?" |
36433 | Do you think our hearts never throbbed high with hope, and that we never fought with dragons? |
36433 | Do you think that is why God lets us be so poor ourselves so long, and never seems to hear our prayers?" |
36433 | Do you think the hungry delight in the eyes of those boys was occasioned by their every- day, ordinary fare? |
36433 | Do you think you will ever persuade me you have grown thin by eating sausages and cakes and wonderful holiday puddings every day of your life? |
36433 | Does Fritz, then, also feel so sinful and so perplexed how to please God? |
36433 | Does not God our heavenly Father do even so with us? |
36433 | Does not the scum necessarily rise to the surface? |
36433 | Dost thou indeed teach the Catechism and the creed? |
36433 | Elizabeth?" |
36433 | Elsè, my child, what have I done? |
36433 | Eva, dear child,"she added,"is that what is meant?" |
36433 | Except a few tracts of Dr. Luther''s, what is there that they could understand? |
36433 | For He also, who gave those treasures to the Pope, is He not everywhere, and could He not give them freely to us direct? |
36433 | For had not my own good, pure, pious mother doubts and scruples almost as bitter? |
36433 | For have not the brightest been wrought by the touch of the Life himself? |
36433 | For he says,''Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
36433 | For if monastic life is a delusion, to what have I sacrificed hopes which were so absorbing, and might have been so pure? |
36433 | For if, by our labours and afflictions, we could attain quiet of conscience, why did he die? |
36433 | For my little life what does it matter? |
36433 | For was not I a guilty creature, and were not the devils indeed too really around me?--and what was to prevent their possessing me? |
36433 | For what can be more simple than to confide in one worthy of confidence? |
36433 | Friend, where is it?'' |
36433 | From the temporal consequences of sin? |
36433 | From what part of Switzerland?" |
36433 | God might have called him away from earth altogether when he lay smitten with the plague, and shall I grudge him to the cloister? |
36433 | Had I not promised to do so long since, through my godsponsers, at my baptism? |
36433 | Had Martin Luther such thoughts in this very cell? |
36433 | Had she not been asking Him to make Fritz a monk? |
36433 | Had she then, indeed, all these years been praying that our happiness should be ruined and our home desolated? |
36433 | Has Brother Martin attained this repose yet? |
36433 | Has all the suffering been fruitless, unnecessary pain? |
36433 | Has he not been trying to teach me his religion all my life? |
36433 | Has he passed through conflicts such as mine in the forest on that terrible night? |
36433 | Has penance in itself no curative effect, that we can be healed of our sins by escaping as well as by performing it? |
36433 | Has there not also been a kind of fatal spell on all your father''s inventions? |
36433 | Have I indeed, like St. Christopher, found my bank of the river, where I can serve my Saviour by helping all the pilgrims I can? |
36433 | Have I lingered in the world so long that my heart can never more be torn from it? |
36433 | Have I not heard such words half a century since in Bohemia? |
36433 | Have I wandered away wilful and deluded from the lot of blessing God had appointed me, since that terrible time of the plague, at Eisenach? |
36433 | Have all these been wasted years? |
36433 | Have it supposed that he approves of the coarse and violent invectives of the Saxon monk, or the daring schemes of the adventurous knight? |
36433 | Have not many of the evil things he attacked been removed? |
36433 | Have not the very things themselves, in their possession, become cares? |
36433 | Have these years then been lost? |
36433 | Have you not yet seen it?'' |
36433 | He does not think as we in the world so often must,"Is God leading me, or the devil? |
36433 | He gives twigs to the ants, and grain to the birds, and makes the trees their palaces, and teaches them to sing; and will He not care for you?" |
36433 | He is all to the children and our parents that he ever was, and why should I expect more? |
36433 | He is bold enough to venture anything; and since he has done so much good to Fritz, and to you, and to me, why not to the whole Church?" |
36433 | He is sure they will all love me; but how can I tell? |
36433 | He will not fail them; but who can say what thorny paths their feet may have to tread? |
36433 | His voice lowered when he saw her, and he said,--"This is no burgher maiden, surely? |
36433 | How can I believe that? |
36433 | How can I then do otherwise than rejoice? |
36433 | How can that be? |
36433 | How can we understand a labyrinth until we are through it? |
36433 | How can you think I can find room for your Sardanapaluses and Sybarites? |
36433 | How do I know what deeper and better thoughts lie hidden under that veil of levity? |
36433 | How is it possible for me_ not_ to love him? |
36433 | How should he? |
36433 | How will it be with the next-- with the man that is proclaiming this in the face of the world now? |
36433 | How, then, can we say anything but that God is an abyss of endless, unfathomable love?" |
36433 | I am but a poor girl of seventeen, and how can I expect to understand everything? |
36433 | I exclaimed,"you surely do not pray that you may die?" |
36433 | I have doubted long about them and about everything; how could I dare to think a few proscribed men right against the whole Church? |
36433 | I only seemed to hear His voice calling me; and what could I do but go? |
36433 | I said,"Am I not to say,_ My_ mother,_ my_ father,_ my_ Fritz? |
36433 | I said,"_ Whose_ sister, Aunt Agnes? |
36433 | I said,"and yours?" |
36433 | I said;"and Eisleben really as beautiful in its way as the Thuringian forest, and as wise as Wittemberg?" |
36433 | I still instruct the novices; but sometimes the dreary question comes to me--"For_ what_ am I instructing them?" |
36433 | I suggested,"would it not be better to find that out here than there?" |
36433 | I suppose Brother Martin had"the testimony of the Holy Ghost in his heart;"but who shall give that to me? |
36433 | I suppose it is not; but if not, on whose authority? |
36433 | I think I might comfort her; for who can tell what two months in a Dominican prison may have done for him? |
36433 | I trembled very much, for I thought-- If the servants are so haughty, what will the master be? |
36433 | I wonder if it can be true that strange creatures haunt the forests?" |
36433 | I wonder who will do it? |
36433 | I wonder, if his fame should indeed spread as we anticipate, if it will be the same one day with all Germany? |
36433 | I would have said,"Dear St. Elizabeth, tell me what it is that makes you a saint? |
36433 | If I brought the curse on my people by my sin, was not my obedience accepted? |
36433 | If I employ force, what do I gain? |
36433 | If I had, would not his verdict have been different? |
36433 | If a look can kill, what can save? |
36433 | If a minute attention to the rules of an order such as this of St. Augustine, who can be sure of having never failed in this? |
36433 | If faith is so simple, and salvation so free, why all those orders, rules, pilgrimages, penances? |
36433 | If he sends the dark days, will he not also give us a lamp for our feet through them?" |
36433 | If it were not so, how could the angels be so much with us and yet with God?" |
36433 | If perfect purity of heart and life, who can lay claim to that? |
36433 | If property is sin, then why is stealing sin? |
36433 | If the dead could thus return, would they feel anything of this? |
36433 | If the flesh is so strong, what will the spirit be?" |
36433 | If they are pleased, what is the use of struggling so much to climb a little higher? |
36433 | If you felt it would be for_ his_ good, you would do anything, at any cost to yourself, would you not?" |
36433 | In the evening I said to her--"O Eva, how can you bear to sing the hymns Fritz loved so dearly? |
36433 | Indeed, is not one of our sons-- our good and sober- minded Pollux-- still in the old Church? |
36433 | Indulgences from what? |
36433 | Is Aunt Agnes, then, more like God than our mother? |
36433 | Is Erasmus of Rotterdam still there, and what is he doing?" |
36433 | Is he not the representative and oracle of God on earth? |
36433 | Is he, indeed, as Dr. Luther says, ready to listen to our feeblest cry, ready to forgive us, and to help us? |
36433 | Is it an echo of the voices of the little ones she so dearly loves, and a reflection of the sunshine in their eyes? |
36433 | Is it for ever? |
36433 | Is it not this which makes even Martin Luther the teacher of our nation? |
36433 | Is it not this which qualifies weak and sinful men to be preachers of the gospel instead of angels from heaven? |
36433 | Is it not_ because_? |
36433 | Is it then, indeed, thus we must think of God? |
36433 | Is it true, indeed, that peasants, women, and sick people could come straight to the Lord himself? |
36433 | Is it with that look God will meet us, with that kind of voice he will speak to us? |
36433 | Is it, then, from the eternal consequences of sin? |
36433 | Is it, then, too late? |
36433 | Is not Friedrich a good, honest name, which hundreds of your ancestors have borne? |
36433 | Is not money what_ we_ make it? |
36433 | Is not my yoke the yoke of Christ? |
36433 | Is not the Bible in every home? |
36433 | Is there a word of reproach or remonstrance in her letter? |
36433 | Is there no pleasure to the obscure and ignorant monks in thus humbling one who was so lately so far above them? |
36433 | Is there not one instance of such as I being saved?" |
36433 | Is this true growth?--or is it that monstrous development of one faculty at the expense of others, which is deformity or disease? |
36433 | It is all addressed to the heart; and who can make the heart right? |
36433 | Know you what, the devil thinks when he sees people employ violence in disseminating the gospel among men? |
36433 | Luther?" |
36433 | Luther?" |
36433 | May Fritz come too?" |
36433 | May I ask your name, fair Fraülein?" |
36433 | May not God''s kingdom be much larger than some think at Rome? |
36433 | Might he not even yet be restored to us? |
36433 | Moral? |
36433 | Mother,"he continued,"why does Dr. Luther speak so of the Swiss?" |
36433 | My mother''s eyes are dimmed with many cares; is it not that very worn and faded brow that makes her sacred to me? |
36433 | No doubt they also had their perplexities, and wondered why the wicked triumph, and sighed to God,"How long, O Lord, how long?" |
36433 | O God, my God, dost thou not hear me? |
36433 | O God,"he sighed,"must the good perish with the evil?" |
36433 | Oh, mother, do you think it was all nonsense in me?" |
36433 | On what field will he win his laurels? |
36433 | Once more, then, the world opens before me; but I do not hope( and why should I wish?) |
36433 | One hour I have sat before this question; and whither has my heart wandered? |
36433 | Only last Sunday, did not Father Boniface say half the mischief in the world had been done by women, from Eve to Helen and Cleopatra?" |
36433 | Only, if the Pope has such inestimable treasures at his disposal, why could he not always give them"freely to the poor,"always and everywhere? |
36433 | Or are the Zwickau prophets right after all, and is it the resurrection?" |
36433 | Or to Christ? |
36433 | Other parents often decide these matters for their children, but thy mother and I wish to leave the matter to thee.--Couldst thou be his wife?" |
36433 | Ought I to love every one the same because all are equally God''s? |
36433 | Pardon? |
36433 | Peace? |
36433 | Precious as Dr. Luther''s own words are, what are they at a time like this, compared with the word of God he has unveiled to us? |
36433 | Said Offerus aloud to his comrades,"What is this? |
36433 | Shall I venture to send this end of Eva''s sentence to her? |
36433 | She awoke quite collected and calm, and then she said quietly--"Where is the mother?" |
36433 | She is striving in her inmost soul after an ideal, which, could she reach it, what would she be? |
36433 | Shut up here, away from every one, how can we show him that we love him?" |
36433 | Some indeed complain of her being too economical; but what would become of Dr. Luther and his family if she were as reckless in giving as he is? |
36433 | Spiritual? |
36433 | Such truths are indeed worth battling for; but who, save the devil, would war against them? |
36433 | TUNNENBERG,_ May_, 1521 Is the world really the same? |
36433 | The heart with which we love each other and with which we love God, is it not the same? |
36433 | The holy angels will have tender names for him there, will they not?" |
36433 | The question took me by surprise, and I could only say,--"Can it be possible he thinks of me?" |
36433 | The silence of the grave, or only of some friendly refuge? |
36433 | The very heaven and earth picture it to us, for does not the sky embrace the green earth as its bride? |
36433 | Then Fritz desired to know in what way his cousins, the Gersdorfs of this generation, are to distinguish themselves? |
36433 | Then how will the saints feel who do_ not_ get the highest places? |
36433 | Then if all our natural affections are to die in us, what is to live in us? |
36433 | Then what becomes of my hopes of Paradise, or of acquiring merits which may aid others? |
36433 | Then, how difficult to separate the two? |
36433 | There was so much in his books that was good, and must they be all burned for the little evil that was mixed with the good? |
36433 | They appear scarcely even quite to have decided St. Christopher''s question,"Which is the_ strongest_, that I may worship him?" |
36433 | To men with whom eloquence means elaborate fancies, decorating corruption or veiling emptiness, what could St. Paul seem but a"babbler?" |
36433 | To monks no doubt it may be so; for what could they do with it? |
36433 | To whom are they given? |
36433 | Was he indeed to be spoken to by all, and He such a great Lord?" |
36433 | Was he not always kept off from common people by a band of priests and saints? |
36433 | Was it because you left your little children, that God loves you so much? |
36433 | Was it so to Martin Luther? |
36433 | Was it, like Aunt Agnes, to get a higher place in heaven? |
36433 | Was my father, then, a Hussite? |
36433 | Was not she married, and was not he christened in church? |
36433 | Was the fatal spell, which my mother feared was binding us, after all nothing else than Aunt Agnes''s terrible prayers? |
36433 | Was there really ever a spring like this, when the tide of life seems overflowing and bubbling up in leaf- buds, flowers, and song, and streams? |
36433 | Was this the estimate my father was held in in the world-- he, the noblest man in it, who was fit to be the Elector or the Emperor? |
36433 | Was this what people meant by paying compliments? |
36433 | Were Martin Luther''s years in the convent of Erfurt lost? |
36433 | Were not the words literally fulfilled; and while many still fell around us, was one afterwards stricken in my home? |
36433 | What advantage, then, has the New Testament over the old? |
36433 | What am I to do?" |
36433 | What can I do?" |
36433 | What can it be, then, that makes his life such a failure? |
36433 | What chief could lead an army on to battle by letters? |
36433 | What confession can retrace the flood of bitter thoughts which have rushed over me in this one hour? |
36433 | What did you think of him, Agnes?" |
36433 | What does he give? |
36433 | What fruit is there in this little world, around us at Eisleben, of whose heart we know something?" |
36433 | What have you in your pack?" |
36433 | What is a chronicle? |
36433 | What is the use of unfolding perplexities to each other, which it seems no intellect on earth can solve? |
36433 | What jest is the Prince making now?" |
36433 | What joys are in heaven? |
36433 | What kind of great man will Martin Luther be, I wonder? |
36433 | What more could be needed to make a man of his power a great preacher? |
36433 | What pleasure will there be in that?" |
36433 | What priest on earth can assure me I have ever confessed fully? |
36433 | What shall I say? |
36433 | What should you do then?" |
36433 | What sure hope then could I ever have of pardon or remission of sins? |
36433 | What then are penance and purgatory? |
36433 | What then remains, which the indulgences can deliver from? |
36433 | What then would become of father and mother, dear Elsè, and the little ones? |
36433 | What then? |
36433 | What voice of priest or monk, the holiest on earth, could ever assure me I had been honest with myself? |
36433 | What will be the end of this chaos? |
36433 | What will happen next?" |
36433 | What will it be? |
36433 | What would Elsè or our mother think, who believe there is nothing but accident or the blindness of mankind between us and greatness? |
36433 | What would he do there? |
36433 | What, then, is the flesh? |
36433 | When shall I efface from my memory the polluting words and works I have seen and heard at Rome? |
36433 | Where did duty end, and ambition and pride begin? |
36433 | While God wills we should stay here, and is with us, is it not home- like enough for us? |
36433 | Who can say what people his life will bless, what sea it will reach, and through what perils? |
36433 | Who in all the universe was on my side? |
36433 | Who or what has thrown this shadow on so many homes? |
36433 | Who stirs the heart of Germany-- of nobles, peasants, princes, women, children-- as he does with his noble, faithful words?" |
36433 | Who that knows the interior of many convents dares to say they are holier than homes? |
36433 | Who will ever keep before us as he does the"Our Father,"which makes all the rest of the Lord''s Prayer and all prayer possible and helpful? |
36433 | Why did he suffer so? |
36433 | Why does Dr. Luther often speak as if nothing had been done?" |
36433 | Why does not some one think of it? |
36433 | Why should Fritz be more to me than to any one else? |
36433 | Why should I flee? |
36433 | Why should our dear, gentle mother, have such sad, self- reproachful thoughts, and feel as if she and our family were under a curse? |
36433 | Why wert thou then so displeased, and perhaps art not reconciled yet? |
36433 | Why, then, are so many of the religious people I know of a sad countenance, as if they were bond- servants toiling for a hard master? |
36433 | Why, then, does this hopeless feeling creep over me when I think of him? |
36433 | Why, then, should there not be little dogs in the new earth, whose skin might be fair as gold, and their hair as bright as precious stones?" |
36433 | Will every one in heaven be always struggling for the high places? |
36433 | Will he not despise me, like the holy sisterhood?" |
36433 | Will the greatest, then,_ not_ give up to the little ones in heaven? |
36433 | Will there be dogs in the other world?" |
36433 | Will there indeed be such a veil, an impenetrable barrier, between us and him at the judgment- day? |
36433 | Will they be laurels or palms? |
36433 | Will they be pleased or disappointed? |
36433 | Will, then, his voice be as powerful to recall and reorganize as it was to urge forward? |
36433 | With such a father and mother on earth, and such a Father in heaven, and with Heinz, how can I ever thank our God enough? |
36433 | Would it live if she gave it first meat and wine? |
36433 | Would they recognize Cousin Eva in the grave, quiet woman of twenty- two I have become? |
36433 | Yet how can I dare to say this? |
36433 | Yet oh, couldst not thou, even thou, sweet mother, have reminded him of the mother he has left to battle on alone? |
36433 | Yet, it was so happy to be Fritz''s only friend; and why should a little stranger child steal my precious twilight- hour from me? |
36433 | Yet, why should I perplex myself about this? |
36433 | You good Augustinians do not like the Black Friars to have all the profit; is that it?" |
36433 | _ Turn back_, draw back, I will_ never_, although all the devils were to drive me, or all the world entice me, but_ look_ back, who can help that? |
36433 | _ Yet!_ do I say? |
36433 | and am I not distributing, among thirsty and enslaved men, the water of life and the truth which sets the heart free? |
36433 | and did we not pay a whole golden florin? |
36433 | and have I not seen the lips which spoke them silenced in flames and blood? |
36433 | and if my Atlantis is in Paradise instead of beyond the ocean, does that make so much difference? |
36433 | and is not Fritz separated from us for ever? |
36433 | and to whom? |
36433 | and what can be greater than everlasting life? |
36433 | and who am I that I should have such dreams? |
36433 | before all the holy men, and doctors, and the people in authority? |
36433 | do this for me?" |
36433 | do you say? |
36433 | he replied quickly;"in the excommunication of Luther? |
36433 | how can I part with thee?" |
36433 | if the whole land will say exultingly by- and- by--_our_ Martin Luther? |
36433 | if you had both known this, need you have left us to go and serve God so far away? |
36433 | or are they the mere natural enfeebling of the power to hope as one grows older? |
36433 | or in the wild projects of Hutten? |
36433 | or, perhaps, to have the right to be severe, as she is with us? |
36433 | said Eva;"and would not that be better?" |
36433 | said Satan, softly;"do you not know that he who in his form as a servant is the son of Mary, now exercises great power?" |
36433 | said a soldier, accosting him rather contemptuously at a halting- place;"how will you accomplish that?" |
36433 | said our father,"what does this mean?" |
36433 | she asked;"Even for me? |
36433 | she said;"and has He not loved the world?" |
36433 | thou who art a mother, and didst bend over a cradle, and hadst a little lowly home at Nazareth once? |
36433 | what scope is there for these here? |
36433 | what? |
36433 | when all shall"by love serve one another?" |
36433 | where is that spirit now, so familiar to us and so dear, and now so utterly separated? |
36433 | who is to tell me now what to do?" |
