“Carnis meæ indomitæ uror magnis ignibus,” in the letter to Melanchthon, July 13, 1521, “Briefwechsel,” 3, p. 189, where he also employs the expression, “tentationes carnis.” In a letter to Staupitz, February 20, 1519, “Briefwechsel,” 1, p. 431: “Homo sum expositus et involutus societati, crapulæ, titillationi, negligentiæ aliisque molestiis.” “Titillatio” is generally used by Luther for sensual temptation, e.g. in the Commentary on Romans (“Schol. Rom.,” p. 133): “Luxuriosus, dum titillatio venit,” etc.; also in the tract on the Ten Commandments, “Werke,” Weim. ed., 1, pp. 485, 491, 497. In the German version he translates the word by “Kitzel”; see, for instance, “Werke,” Erl. ed., 34, p. 139.
