The Protestant Reformation In Verse

Challengèd courts, Christendom held in palm, Tyranny, oppression, falsehoods contrived On which hingèd stability and calm, Uprooted by man’s theses ninety- five On door are tackèd for eyes all to see. Revealèd wisdom, from God above sent, Reformation of courts not left to be – Defiance heighten’d, faith in God, unspent. Truth in hands of people brings forth reform – Justified by faith as Word inspired saith; Transubstantiation false, ne’er to mourn Catholic evils overcome by faith. All is owèd this man, held safe by One Named Martin Luther Gods favor’d son
