To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Possibly he will die with Moses in the wilderness of Moab, for he does not lead to the better studies which promote godliness. My only wish is that he would cease from commenting on Holy Scrip- ture. '' That last sentence shows how wide the distance between them had become. Erasmus had taken up his abode in Basle in 1521 ; but, when Basle became wholly Protestant, he moved in 1529 to Freiburg in Breisgau, which was still strongly Roman. Yet it was during a visit to Basle that the end of his lab...ours overtook him. He went there on business in the autumn of 1535, and before the business was completed he became so ill that he was never able to leave. He continued working almost to his death, which took place in the night on July 12, 1536. No priest attended him ; but he died saying frequent prayers for mercy and deliverance. In the Protestant city of Basle it might have been difficult to find a priest, even if Erasmus had desired to have one. His monkish enemies, with characteristic ignorance of grammar, THE MERITS AND SHORTCOMINGS OF ERASMUS 83 as of the man whom they abused, said that he died sine crux, sine lux, sine Deus.
