Martin Luther
Image
At Poltersberg, there is a lake similarly cursed. If you throw a stone into it, a dreadful storm immediately arises, and the whole neighboring district quakes to its centre. 'Tis the devils kept prisoner there.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ designed that the day of his coming should be hid from us, that being in suspense, we might be as it were upon the watch.
