He did nothing unique in its nature. We may be proud and thankful as men to think that there have been many men, in many ages, and in many causes, that have WHAT DID LUTHER REALLY DO? II9 shown moral heroism of this kind. The present age does not breed them as freely as some, but they are not extinct even to-day. And we must recognise them even among those whose principles we have to resist. There was a grandeur in Charles V. As well as in Luther, a heroism of empire as well as a heroism of rev...olt. If you are to honour men for mere sin- cerity, or veracity, above all things, you will have a pantheon as mixed as worship of that kind made Carlyle's to be, whose heroes ranged from Luther the godly to the pagan Goethe and the godless Frederick. If you are to make fidelity to conscience the supreme standard, you must pay as much respect to a narrow conscience as to a great, so long as it is faithfully followed. If it is mere fidelity to conscience that is the chief thing, and not the contents of the con- science, or its word, then the little bigot who wrangles about trifles of ritual, or divides a Church upon an item of accounts, may be as faithful to his lean con- science as the large-minded, full-souled preacher who risks the displeasure of the public and the loss of his living for startling them with a great new Gospel.
