“In
like manner you may deal harshly with the liars and hardened tyrants,
and act boldly in opposition to their teaching and their works, for
they will not listen. But the simple people, whom they have bound
with the ropes of their teaching and whose lives are endangered, you
must treat quite differently. You must with caution and gentleness
undo the teachings of men, providing them a defense an explanation,
and in this way gradually set them free.” Martin Luther, Sincere
Admonition to all Christians, LW, AE, 45:73
