"I can pretty clearly distinguish,
between skill and malice, and I set no high value on a malice so
unskillful. To burn books is so easy a matter that even children can do
it; much more, then, the Holly Father and his doctors. It would be well
for them to show greater ability than that which is required to burn
books......Besides, let them destroy my works! I desire nothing better;
for all my wish has been to lead souls to the Bible, so that they might
afterwards neglect my writings....If we had a knowledge of Scripture what need
would there be of any books of mine?...."
Martin
Luther
