[German Culture Past and Present by Ernest Belfort Bax]@TWC D-Link bookGerman Culture Past and Present CHAPTER II 11/17
Farewell, gracious sir, and my other kind sirs.
I, poor little peasant, I go my way. Farewell, farewell, due remains usury for ever more.
Yea, yea! due, indeed!" The above specimens of the popular writing of the time must suffice. But for the reader who wishes to further study this literature we give the titles, which sufficiently indicate their contents, of a selection of other similar pamphlets and broadsheets: "A New Epistle from the Evil Clergy sent to their righteous Lord, with an answer from their Lord.
Most merry to read" (1521).
"A Great Prize which the Prince of Hell, hight Lucifer, now offereth to the Clergy, to the Pope, Bishops, Cardinals, and their like" (1521).
