“I resist the devil, and often it is with a fart that I
chase him away. When he tempts me with silly sins I say, ‘Devil,
yesterday I broke wind too. Have you written that down on your
list?’… Thus, I remind myself of the forgiveness of sin and of Christ…”
-Luther on the Treatment of Melancholy, Despair, Etc.
November 30, 1531
