If you refuse to have the right kind of preachers, then you shall have the devil
and his preachers, who preach lies to you. These you will have to accept, and you
will have to let them govern you and torment you.’ Because the Gospel has been
refused and even persecuted in our Germany, the corners are full of sectarians,
fanatics, and Anabaptists; and there is nothing anyone can do to prevent it. The
right preventive measure here would be to take the Gospel seriously and to pray God
faithfully that He may send true and faithful laborers into His harvest (Matt.
9:38).”

Martin Luther
