THAT THESE WORDS OF CHRIST, “THIS IS MY BODY,” ETC., STILL STAND FIRM AGAINST THE FANATICS 1527

Zwingli with his metaphor lies in the ash heap, just as Dr. Karlstadt before him fell with his touto. (On Karlstadt, cf. Against the Heavenly Prophets. LW 40, 159 ff.) For Zwingli can prove neither point, viz. that there is a metaphor in any single passage of Scripture, much less that it is necessarily in the Supper. He does not prove either, though he is under obligation to prove both. -Martin Luther
