DÜRER, ALBRECHT

      AThe merciful God also help me to a happy end.@

(Russell, 1967, 90)

     AGod granted me diligence so that I learned well.@

(Ibid., 48)

     AMy father . . . led an honest God-fearing life, and was a gentle, patient man, friendly to all and thankful to God. He cared little for company and nothing for worldly amusements. He told me every day that we must love God and be honest in our dealings with our neighbours.@

(Ibid., 39)

     AOh ye Christian men, pray God for help, for His judgement draweth nigh and His justice will appear. Then shall we behold the innocent blood . . . judged and condemned. These are the slain who lie beneath the altar of God and pray for vengeance to whom the voice of God answereth: >Await the full number of the innocent slain, then will I judge.=@

(Ibid., 140)

     AAll worldly rulers in these dangerous times should give good heed that they receive not human misguidance for the Word of God, for God will have nothing added to His Word nor taken away from it. Hear, therefore, these four excellent men: Peter, John, Paul and Mark.@

(Ibid., 159)
