“You must always fight against the devil and all his works with humility and yet at the same time maintain a bold faith. And if that is no help, then do without the sacrament, the altar, the priest, and the church, because the word of God condemned in the bull, is far more than all the rest put together. Soul cannot do without word of God, but it can do quite well without sacraments.” An Instruction to Penitents, Luther's Works, American Edition, 44:226-7
