<strong>Luther</strong> on himself in a sermon on<br />

March h 10, 1522<br />

indulgences and all the papists, but never with<br />

force force. I simply taught, taught preached and wrote<br />

God’s Word. And while I slept or drank<br />

Wittenberg beer with my friends Phillip and<br />

Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the<br />

papacy that no prince or emperor ever<br />

inflicted such losses on it. I did nothing. <strong>The</strong><br />

Word did everything everything.
