You are pious and honest people, who cannot do anything but calumniate and lie.

We leave you to your own devices, for nothing properly suits you except hypocrisy, flattery, and lies.

You reek of nothing but Lucian, and you breathe out on me the vast drunken folly of Epicurus.

From The Bondage of the Will, pg. 29 of Luther's Works, Vol. 33

You completely close your mind and do nothing but shout, "Anathema, anathema, anathema!" so that by your own voice you are judged mad.

From Against Latomus, pg. 152 of Luther's Works, Vol. 32

Are you ignorant of what it means to be ignorant?

You are the white devil and a glittering Satan.

You cowardly slave, you corrupt sycophant, with your sickening advice!

What bilgewater of heresies has ever been spoken so heretically as what you have said?

Every letter of yours breathes Moabitish pride. So much can a single bull inflate a single bubble that you practically make distinguished asses into gods.

You people are more stupid than a block of wood.

What you say is a blasphemy that has made you worthy of a thousand deaths.
