Touching your long tale of Doctor Luther's avarice, and sale of Pardons, I mind not, nor need not to answer you. It is a simple stale slander. Yet it often serveth your turn of course, when other things begin to fail. In deed Freer Tetzel the Pardoner made his proclamations unto the people openly in the Churches in this sort:1 Although a man had lien with our Lady the Mother of Christ, and had begotten her with Child, yet were he able by the Popes power to Pardon the fault. Against this, and other like foul Blasphemies Doctor Luther first began so speak. Now whether this occasion were sufficient, or no, let M. Harding him self be the Judge.
