Note 53 — Chapter XV
E. M. Lamond translation
“Vom Missbrauch der Messen,” 1521-1522, “Werke,” Weim. ed., 8, p. 561; Erl. ed., 28, p. 139. To Spalatin, August 15, 1521, “Briefwechsel,” 3, p. 219: “Principem esse et non aliqua parte latronem esse, aut non aut vix possibile est, eoque maiorem, quo maior princeps fuerit.” This he says in excuse of his acceptance of the hospitality of the Wartburg offered him by the Elector.
