In my preceding pamphlet I had no occasion to condemn the peasants, because they promised to yield to law and better instruction, as Christ also demands. But before I can turn around, they go out and appeal to force, in spite of their promises, and rob and pillage and act like mad dogs… They practice mere devil’s work, and it is the arch-devil himself who reigns at Mühlhausen, Thomas Münzer, indulging in nothing but robbery, murder, and bloodshed. Since those peasants allow themselves to be led astray and act differently from what they declared, I likewise must write differently concerning them; and first bring their sins before their eyes, as God commands.

Oneiromancy (witchcraft) may be practiced in two ways. The first is when a person uses dreams so that he may dip into the occult with the help of the revelation of devils with whom he has entered into an open pact. The second is when a man uses dreams for knowing the future. Witches, when they do not wish to be bodily transferred, but desire to see what their fellow-witches are doing, it is their practice to lie down and these things are revealed to in images. And if they seek to know some secret, they learn it in dreams from the devil, by reason of an open pact entered into with him.

The Church has always understood that confession of sins was instituted by the Lord, and necessary for all who have fallen into sin after baptism; the Lord Jesus Christ, when about to ascend from earth to heaven, left his own vicars, before whom all mortal offenses into which the faithful have fallen should be carried, so that they may pronounce forgiveness or retention of sins.
Venial sin whereby we are not excluded from the grace of God, into which we fall more frequently may be omitted without guilt and expiated by other remedies. But since all mortal sins, even those of thought, render men enemies of God; it is necessary to seek pardon from God for every mortal sin, by a full confession…

I, Catherine Zell, wife of the late Mathew Zell, wish you God’s peace. Since I was ten I have been a student of the church. I have frequented the company of learned men, conversed with them about God. While other women decorated themselves, going to dances and giving themselves to pleasure, I went into the houses of poor to care for the sick. Consider the Anabaptists, who are so persecuted. Must authorities be incited against them, they acknowledge the Lord in much the same way we do? Just because they cannot agree with us on lesser things, is this reason to persecute them? Governments may punish, but they should not govern belief. Mathew Zell would not have approved.
