Luther, vol. 3 of 6

Note 869 — Chapter XVII · (continued 3)

E. M. Lamond translation

Cordatus, “Tagebuch,” p. 8: “Ridens sapientiam, qua esse volebat sua Catharina: Creator formavit masculum lato pectore et non latis femoribus, ut capax sedes sapientiae esset in viro; latrinam vero, qua stercora eiciuntur, ei parvam fecit. Porro haec in femina sunt inversa. Ideo multum habent stercorum mulieres, sapientiae autem parum.” Such passages do not tend to the higher appreciation of the female sex with which Luther has been credited.
