The effect of the said Appeal of Luther, in English.
The effect of the sayd Appeale of Luther, in English.
The effect of the appeal aforesaid, is this:1 That for so much as the liberty of appealing is provided for a remedy to relieve the oppressed from injury and violence of the superior, it was therefore lawful for Martin Luther so to do, especially being manifold ways injured and molested by the See of Rome, and other the Popes confederates, as he in the said appeal declareth. For at first whereas he modestly disputing of the errors and abuses of the Popes pardons, did somewhat withstand the impudent raven and blasphemies of them that come about with the Popes pardons to poll and rob the people, he was therefore openly railed upon, and defamed by them in their public sermones to be an heretic, and consequently upon the same accused to Pope Leo for an heretic, by Marius the Popes Proctor and others.
