—130— After the Billing, Landolf told three crimes were being committed against them with a spiteful manner. Shame, disgrace, and cowardice, for such people are not worthy, are merely entitled to death by a warrior to perish and be trampled underfoot. Landolf recovered: “You are rebellious! You are disgusting people, but you hate the sin that you recognize. What could be born of you if you were Christians and Jesus revealed to you. And by writing this ancient chronicle, I weep over the deep shame of blood and horrible deeds. Now, Christ us- we are now Christians, but where is chastity, righteousness, and courage? Surely, there should be ten among the German Christians, who should have a pure body, a true heart, and a courageous spirit?”“I do not believe in Revelation and secret heresy, crude and fine lies, men’s fear and the people’s- twisted devotion have ravaged the entire German Christian people. And soon, the courts of God will be calling for our judgment; for the shame is bitter and the wounds are incurable. Great and small, men and women, the age and the young are infected by the plague. Our heathen ancestors are better and purer than we, they will condemn us with the most bitter judgments, and we will be ashamed of them. But if you read this, do you still find something on the name of God? Heal yourself, how cheap it is to add a thousand times more on the name of the Christians, so ask your conscience, whether this narration does not become restless, and if so, be it, O humbled German, you, the deceiver, you hide in the sack and in the ashes, and beseech your knees to God, the living Savior: Lord, grant me a pure body, a true mouth, and a courageous heart through faith in You!
