in addition, our ingratitude may now well be the
cause of great misfortune and God's punishment
in the world. But we should petition God the
Father in the name of the Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ, that for his name's sake he may accom-
plish, fulfill, and bring about the epitaph and
prophecy that our dear father, Dr. Martin, himself
made to him:

Pestis eram vivus, moriens tua mars era Papa.

That is in German: "Pope, pope, when I lived I
was your pestilence. When I die I will be your
bitter death." God be praised eternally
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray, etc.
