Mother. He is a Luther!
Christine. You have never told me who Luther is, but if Olof is his apostle, then Luther must be a great man.
Mother. Luther is possessed of the Devil!
Christine. Why didn't you tell me before? Now I can't believe you!
Mother. I am telling you now—Alas, I wanted to save you from the world's wickedness, and so I kept you in ignorance—
Christine. I don't believe you! Let me go! I must see him—I must listen to him—for he doesn't talk like the rest.
Mother. Jesus, my Saviour! Are you, too, possessed by the unclean spirit?
Christine (at the door). "Bind not the souls," he said—did you hear? "You are free, for the Lord has set you free." See how the people shudder at his words—now they rise up—they mutter. "You want no freedom—woe unto you! For that is the sin against the Holy Ghost!"
