"Paul shows (Gal 4:7) clearly that no terror, wrath, disturbance, or death, that is, no function or jurisdiction of the law, is to be permitted into the Christian conscience. Much less are the monsters and sacrileges of human traditions to be permitted. For in the matter of justification I must be ignorant of the divine law and not permit it to rule in any way over my conscience. Much less shall I permit my conscience to be dominated by the filth of the pope, regardless of how much he may 'roar like a lion' (Rev 10:3) and threaten that I shall incur the indignation of Almighty God. Here I must say: 'Law, your obedience will not penetrate to the throne where Christ, my Lord, is sitting. Here I will not listen to you. (Much less, Antichrist, will I listen to your monstrous teachings!) For I am a free man and a son, who does not have to be subject to any slavery or any law of slavery.' Therefore do not let Moses (much less the pope) enter the bridegroom's chamber to lie there, that is, to reign over the conscience which Christ has delivered from the law to make it free of any slavery. Let the slaves remain in the valley with the ass, and let Isaac ascend the mountain along with Abraham, his father. That is, let the law have its dominion over the flesh and the old self; let this be under the law. Let this permit the burden to be laid upon it. Let this permit itself to be disciplined and troubled by the law. Let the law prescribe to this what it should do and accomplish, and how it should deal with other men. But let the law not pollute the chamber in which Christ alone should take His rest and sleep; that is, let it not disturb the conscience, which should live only with Christ, its bridegroom, in the realm of freedom and sonship."
