Vislabākā atsauca ir pats buklets, kas ir pavisam īss un brīvi pieejamas.
Viņam ir pat nodaļa ar nosaukumu DESIRE THE DEATH OF THE CHRISTIANS, kurā teiktsEspecially because they proudly and haughtily boast, wherever we are
friendly to them or serve them, that God has made them to be lords and us to
be servants. As when a Christian on the Sabbath lights their fire and cooks
for them whatever they desire, for which they curse, bespit and slander us as
if they were doing something good, and yet eat up our goods which they have
stolen from us. Such a despairing, evil, poisonous thing it is with these Jews
who these 1400 years have been and still are our plague, pestilence and all
misfortune.
No nodaļas BEWARE OF THEIR BLASPHEMY AND USURYEven with no further evidence than the Old Testament, I would maintain,
and no person on earth could alter my opinion, that the Jews, as they are
today, are veritably a mixture of all the depraved and malevolent knaves of
the whole world over, who have then been dispersed in all countries,
similarly to the Tartars, Gypsies and such folk, to afflict the different nations
with their usury, to spy upon others and to betray, to poison wells, to deceive
and to kidnap children—in short, to practice all kinds of dishonesty and
injury. (Extract from the Pamphlet “Von Schem Hamphoras und vom
Geschlecht Christi.” 1543.)
The Jewish Banger
Those Jews professing to be surgeons or doctors deprive the Christians
who make use of their medicaments, of health and prosperity, for such Jewish doctors believe they find especial favour with their God if they torment
and furtively kill Christians. And we, fools that we are, even turn for succor
to our enemies and their evil ways in the times when our lives are in danger,
which is indeed sorely trying God’s patience. (E. 62, p. 367)
