Note 156 — Chapter XII
E. M. Lamond translation
In Luther’s “Briefwechsel,” 3, p. 124. The translation of “Equidem atrocissima omnia concipio,” by “I will dare even the worst,” is wrong, and the above, “My fancy paints things black,” i.e. Luther’s treatment at the Diet, is better. Cp. S. Merkle, “ Reformations-geschichtl. Streitfragen,” 1904, p. 56 ff.
