Count it one of the highest virtues upon earth to educate faithfully the children of others, which so few, and scarcely any, do by their own.
Martin LutherIf you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.

Martin LutherThey [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow.

If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs.
