[1663] Thus M. Staub, “Willensfreiheit ... bei Luther,” Zürich, 1894, p. 39, 2 ff. Cp. the passage in Luther’s book “De servo arbitrio,” Weim. ed., 18, p. 697; “Opp. lat. var.,” 7, p. 238: “Quid potest robustius contra liberum arbitrium dici, quam ipsum esse nihili, ut non modo non velit bonum, sed nec sciat quidem, quantum faciat mali et quid sit bonum.” This he proves from the words of Christ on the cross: “They know not what they do”! “An est hic obscuritas in ullo verbo?... Hoc clarissimum verbum Christi,” etc.
