ALBRECHT DÜRER
“The merciful God
also help me to a happy end.” (Russell, 1967, 90)
“God granted me
diligence so that I learned well.” (Ibid., 48)
“My 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)
“Oh 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)
“All 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)
