Dangkks liad gathereu rouricl Luther and the Reformation. The appeal of the Wittemberg doctor to a general council was a new assault upon tlie papal power. A bull of Pius II. had pronounced the greater excommunication even against the emperors who should dare be guilty of such an act of revolt, Frederick of Saxony, as yet weak in the evangelical doctrine, was ready to banish Luther from his states. A new message from Leo X. would therefore have thivcn the reformer among strangers, who might have feared to compromise themselves by receiving a monk under the anatliema of Rome. And if any of the nobles had drawn the sword in his defence, these simple knights, despised by the mighty princes of Germany, woidd soon have been crushed in their perilous enterprise.
