Summary: Polemic ballad with a total of 142 rhymed lines, relating the story of a drunk Carmelite monk who attends a sermon preached outside the city by a righteous (Lutheran) pastor and who interrupts the preacher, accusing him of lying and misrepresenting Scripture. The people in response rise up and begin to beat him, almost killing him, but the monk is taken away and brought before the city council and the mayor who calls for calm and instructs that the monk should be locked up to await the executioner and thus be placed under God's justice rather than the mob's anger.

Summary: This is the first printing of Eck's speech to the Diet of Regensburg on April 5, 1541, defining the Catholic understanding of the Lord's Supper.

Summary: When Pope Paul III called for a reform council at Mantua in 1536, the Protestants were faced with a dilemma.
