Rommel, Neuere Gesch. Ii. 580. PAPISM OF THE LUTHERAN POPULACE 293 old monuments of its Catholic past was as living as ever. As at Smalkald eight waggons had been required for the removal of the ' idols, ' so nearly everywhere else the ' carting away ' was a great business. In the church of Haina, for instance, there were still twenty- eight altars adorned with images of their patron saints. ' Hew down, burn, destroy all this idolatrous lumber, ' were the watchwords. ' Away with your St. John, ...Maria, and Ursula, ' was Maurice's answer once to a petition of the Smalkalders. ' If I were to erect two crucifixes for you I should be your beloved lord. Athalia, the protectress of idols, would be a welcome ruler for you. Sacred groves — that is, small woods in which idolatrous sacri- fices were offered — are to my mind the same as your altars. You would be delighted if exorcism and the copes were reintroduced. ' ^ But it was especially ' in matters connected with the Communion service, ' the Calvinist complained, that ' the people were as senseless as in the days of the papacy ; they would gladly have had the disgraceful sacrifice of the altar restored, and the ringing of bells accompanying the Host to the sick.
