Nay, in fact, to whom will you fling it up? The Prussian Ritters themselves are getting greatly divided on the point; and at last on all manner of points, Protestantism ever more spreading among them. As for the German Brethren, they and their comfortable Teutschmeister, who refused to partake in the dangerous adventure at all; are they entitled to have much to say in the settlement of it now?
For seven years, Albert held out in this intermediate state, neither peace nor war; moving Heaven and Earth to raise supplies, that he might be able to defy Poland, and begin war. The Reich answers, "We have really nothing for you." Teutschmeister answers again and again, "I tell you we have nothing!" Albert did not yield; eager only to procrastinate till he were ready.
The Teutschmeister and his German Brethren shrieked murder; the whole world, then, and for long afterwards, had much to say and argue. To us, now that the logic-chaff is all laid long since, the question is substantial, not formal.
Reich, busy with Lutheran-Papal, Turk-Christian quarrels, merely shrugged its shoulders upon Albert. Teutschmeister did the like; everybody the like. In Heaven or Earth, then, is there no hope for me? thought Albert. And his stock of ready money we will not speak of that! Meanwhile Dr. Osiander of Anspach had come to him; and the pious young man was getting utterly shaken in his religion.
