Some little time after her death, Dr. Martin Luther said,--

"If my daughter Magdalen could come to life again and bring with her to

me the Turkish kingdom, I would not have it. Oh, she is well cared for;

'Beati mortui qui in Domino moriuntur.' Who dies thus, certainly has

eternal life. I would that I, and my children, and ye all could thus all

depart; for evil days are coming. There is neither help nor counsel more

on earth, I see, until the Judgment Day. I hope, if God will, it will

not be long delayed; for covetousness and usury increase."
