QUESTION AS TO WHETHER BOOKS UNDER THE TERMINATION OF “ANA” HAVE BEEN
SERVICEABLE OR INJURIOUS TO LITERATURE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH
LUTHER'S TABLE TALK.—HISTORY OF THE EARLY ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THAT
BOOK, OF ITS WONDERFUL PRESERVATION, AND OF THE MARVELLOUS AND
UNIMPEACHABLE VERACITY OF CAPTAIN HENRY BELL.
Prophecies, predictions, Or where they abide,
Stories and fictions, On this or that side,
Allegories, rhymes, Or under the mid line
And serious pastimes Of the Holland sheets fine,
For all manner men, Or in the tropics fair
Without regard when, Of sunshine and clear air,
Or under the pole
Of chimney and sea coal:
Read they that list; understand they that can;
_Verbum satis est_ to a wise man.
BOOK OF RIDDLES.
