“The new spirit made its appearance in the world about the XVIth century. Its end is to substitute a new society for that of the Middle Ages. Hence the necessity that the first modern revolution should be a religious one.… It was Germany and Luther that produced it.”—Cousin, Cours d’hist. de la philos., p. 7, Paris, 1841.
