I'm looking for the exact source of the following quotation from Martin Luther. I think it comes from a tract against Zwingli's understanding of the Lord's Supper.
“Woe betide all our teachers and authors, who go their merry way and spew forth whatever is uppermost in their minds, and do not first turn the thought over ten times to be sure it is right in the sight of God! These think the devil is away for a while in Babylon, or asleep at their side like a dog on a cushion. They do not consider that he is around them and all his venomous flaming darts which he puts into them, such superlatively beautiful thoughts adorned with scripture, that they are unaware of what is happening”, adding that, “We Germans are the kind of fellows who pounce on anything new and cling to it like fools, and if anyone restrains us, he only makes us more crazy for it. But if no one restrains us, we will soon on our own become bored with it, and soon chase after something else that is new. Thus the devil has the advantage that no teaching of fancy so clumsy can arise but he can find disciples for it, and the clumsier the more quickly he can find them!”
If any of you good Logos users out there have the full works of Luther, would you mind running a search for me - I'd be most grateful. Thanks!
