In the Schmalkald articles, 1530, the pious belief that the Pope was
Antichrist became an article of the Lutheran creed. Compare the
following extracts, quoted by Hans Schultz in _Der Sacco di Roma_, 1894,
p. 63, from the _Historia von der Romischen Bischoff, etc._, 1527:

"Der Papst ist fuer den Verfasser der Antichrist, der durch Lug und Trug

"Quant a l'armee imperiale, on n'en vit jamais de plus etonnante....

So, too, Jacques Buonaparte (_Le Sac de Rome_, 1836, p. 202): "Le Pape
Clement, avoit entendu les cris des soldats; il se sauvoit
precipitamment par un long corridor pratique dans un mur double et se
laissoit emporter de son palais an chateau Saint-Ange."]

who wept over her as she lay a-dying, bewailing her beauty and her
daring. For the picture, see Pausanias, _Descriptio Graeciae_, lib, v.

[251] ["It came to pass the same day, that in Echatane a city of Media,
Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father's maids;
because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the
