The following extracts from "D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation" may not be uninteresting to Scientists.
Speaking of Luther while yet a monk in the cloister, our historian says:—
He has received salvation immediately from God himself; and from that moment Roman Catholicism is virtually destroyed in him. He goes forward and searches the writings of the apostles and prophets, for everything that may strengthen the hope which fills his heart. Each day he invokes help from above, and each day also the light increases in his soul.
