"Thus the pontificians today sin more gravely than the Jews themselves. For they in the New Testament never received any mandate from God, so that it could rightly be said concerning their worship: You worship what you do not know. Nor is their worship to be judged spiritual, but

"In vain the Catholic priests, attending at the executions of the Huguenots, tried to drown the thunder of Marot's Psalms with their Latin chants. The words lacked the savage energy of the vernacular French; the unknown tongue awakened no response from the crowd. Many victims
