Note 500 — Chapter XXXVI · THE DARKER SIDE OF LUTHER’S INNER LIFE. HIS AILMENTS (continued 2)
E. M. Lamond translation
Mathesius, ib., p. 293. In 1542-3. The picture given at the beginning of this portion of the Table-Talk of how Luther the “monk” and Catherine the “nun” seated at table after dinner raise the cross hand-in-hand against Antichrist and say: “Post scripturam non habemus firmius argumentum quam crucem!” speaks volumes for their infatuation.
