(following the Greek version) counts Ps. 9 and 10 as one, thus dropping behind one in the numbering. But it divides Ps. 147 into two; vv. 1-11 being counted as Ps. 146, and vv. 12-20 as Ps. 147; and so both versions agree again from Ps. 148 to 150. [13] Job calls it a "warfare" (militia). [14] Luther harks back to his discussion of this point in the Preface, p. 113. [15] Particular reference to the Elector. [16] See pp. 147 ff. [17] _Cypr. de mortal_. c. V. [18] Vulgate reading. [19] See pp. 149 f. [20] From the Vulgate. [21] Luther is probably thinking of his own experience, when, near Erfurt, he came near bleeding to death from an injury to his ankle. See Kostlin-Kawerau, _Martin Luther_, I, 44. [22] Luther no longer held this view of "satisfaction" in 1535. See also pp. 150 and 161. [23] Luther is thinking here specifically of the Elector. [24] He means the communion of saints. See next chapter. [25] According to the Vulgate (Douay Version). [26] August 29th. See Introduction, p. 105. [27] Cf. _A Discussion of Confession_, above, p. 82. [28] Luther might have considerably revised this whole paragraph. [29] This seems to refer to the writers of the Holy Scriptures. [30] A reference to the threefold baptism, commonly accepted, viz., (1) _fluminia_, (2) _flaminis_, (3) _sanguinis_; that is, (1) the Sacrament of baptism, (2) the baptism of the Spirit, or repentance, (3) the baptism of blood, or martyrdom. Cf. PRE3, XIX, 414. [31] Frederick the Wise was a pious collector of relics, having 5005 of them in the Castle Church at Wittenberg. They had something to do with Luther's choice of October 31st as the date of the posting of the XCV Theses. See Introduction to the Theses, p. 16 of this volume, note 1. [32] Cf. Letter to George Leiffer, 15 April, 1516. See M. A. Cueriz, _The Letters of M. Luther_, p. 7. [33] i. e., The sign of the cross. [34] As much as, "We are in for a bad hour," and, "A good hour is worth a bad hour." [35] See p. 134. [36] In this passage "Wisdom" is the subject. [37] In the _Sanctus_. [38] See p. 118. [39] Luther quotes a verse from Ps. 106, which sums up the contents of Ps. 78. [40] Luther uses _sensualitas_ the first time, and _sensus_ the second. [41] See p.115. [42] _The Confessions of St. Augustine_, Book IX, chapter 1. [43] Luther is probably thinking of the sin of suicide. [44] From the Vulgate (Douay Version). [
