Selections From The Table Talk
Luther’s Table-Talk.
OF GOD’S WORKS.

OF GOD’S WORKS.

That human Sense and Reason cannot comprehend nor understand God’s Works.
That no Man understands God’s Works.
That the Superfluity of temporal Wealth doth hinder the Faith.
That God doth purchase nothing but Unthankfulness with his Benefits.
Of God’s Power in our Weakness.
Howsoever God dealeth with us, it is always unacceptable.
Of the acknowledging of Nature.
Of God’s Goodness, if we could but trust unto him.
That God made all Things for Mankind.
That God’s creatures are used, or rather abused, for the most part by the Ungodly.
That God, and not Money, preserves the World.
That God’s corporeal Gifts are but little regarded.
That God nourisheth all the Beasts.
That God is skilful in all Manner of Trades.
That God will be praised in all Languages.
That God is willing we should make use of his Creatures.
That God fills the Bellies of the Ungodly, but he gives the Kingdom of Heaven to the Good and Godly.
Court Cards.
Whoso from his Heart can humble himself before God, he hath gained.
That God preserves Nurture and Discipline.
By reason of our stiff-necked Hardness, God must be both harsh and good too.
What that is, God is nothing, and yet he is all Things.
That Children are God’s special Blessings and Creatures.
