arbara, a legendary saint, whose day falls on December 4, was thought to protect against storm and fire. See above, p. 237. St. Sebastian, a martyr of the third century, whose day falls on January 20, was supposed to ward off the plague. [35] Cf. The _Fourteen of Consolation_, above, p. 162. [36] Page 194 f. [37] I. e., by fear without love. [38] The patron saint of music, of whose life and martyrdom little that is definite is known. [39] Canonisations, giving a dead man the rank of a saint, who may be or shall be worshiped. [40] I.e., faith. [41] Cf. the similar statements in the _Sermon vom Wucher_ (_Weimar Ed._, VI, 59) and in the _Address to the Christian Nobility_ (ibid., 438). [42] A name for the dependents of the papal court at Rome. [43] At Constance, 1414-1443; at Rome, the Lateran council, 1512-1517. [44] Or, "Who is said to rule the councils." [45] This program of reform is further elaborated in the _Address to the Christian Nobility_. [46] Augustus Caesar, first Roman Emperor (B.C. 63-A.D. 14), the Caesar Augustus of Luke 2:1. [47] "The purchase of a rent-charge (_rent, census, Zins_) was one of the methods of investing money frequently resorted to during the later middle ages. From the transfer from one person to another of the right to receive a rent already due the step was but a short one to the creation of an altogether new rent-charge, for the express purpose of raising money by the sale of it...The practice seems to have arisen spontaneously, and to have been by no means a mere evasion of the prohibition of usury." _Dictionary of Political Economy_, ed. by R. H. Inglish Palgrave, vol. ii. Cf. Ashley, _Economic History_, vol. i, p.t. ii, sections 66, 74, 75. For a fuller discussion of the subject by Luther, see the _Sermon vom Wucher_ (_Weimar Ed._, VI, 51-60). [48] See note above, p. 220. [49] _Sorgfaitigkeit_, Luther's translation of the Vulgate _solicitndo_ in Rom. 12:8, where our English Version reads "diligence." The word as Luther uses it includes the two kinds of carefulness and considerateness. [50] A most strict monastic order; the phrase here is equivalent to "becomes a monk." [51] _Sanftmuthlgkeit_. [52] Luther discusses these tricks in detail in his _Sermon von Kaufhandlung und Wucher_ (1524) _Weimar Ed._, XV, pp. 279 ff. [53] _Sermon von dem Wucher, Weimar Ed._, VI, 36 ff. Cf. also _Address to the German Nobility_. [54] Cf. _The Fourteen of
