Luther’s Translation of the New Testament. 79<br />

Luther’s calling as a translator of the Scriptures.<br />

THE author's best vindication of his vocation to a work must, in the<br />

nature of the case, be the work itself. <strong>The</strong> fact of success seems to<br />

for the labor on which he entered. We need no a priori proof that<br />

Milton had a vocation as a poet, or Bacon as a philosopher, or Gerhard<br />

as a theologian. To argue it, is to argue in the sunlight the question of the<br />

sun's adaptation for shining. Luther's translation of the Bible is itself the<br />

invincible proof of his vocation to the work of<br />
