THE CARDINAL.
Væ qui iustificatis impium pro muneribus, & iustitiam iusti aufertis ab eo.
Esaiæ v.
Mal pour uous qui iustifiez
L'inhumain, & plain de malice
Et par dons le sanctifiez,
Ostant au iuste sa iustice.
Death lifts off the Cardinal's hat as he is handing a letter of indulgence to a rich man. Luther's opponent, Cardinal Cajetan, is supposed to be represented.
Death helps us to see what is worth trusting and dying and what is a waste of time. -- J. Neville Ward
