The book is a valuable resource for scholars of history, religion, and theology, as well as anyone interested in the life and teachings of Martin Luther.Alas! said Luther, what is our wit and wisdom? for before we understand anything as we ought, we lie down and die; therefore the devil hath good striving with us. When one is thirty years old, so hath he as yet Stultitias carnales; yea, also Stultitias spirituales; yet it is much to be admired that, in such our imbecility and weakness, we achieve and accomplish so much and such great matters; but it is God that giveth it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
