"Luther confessed he was often tempted to ask for signs, apparitions, and revelations from heaven to confirm him in his way, yet he tells us how strongly he did withstand them, "I have faith" he said, "I have agreed with the Lord my God, that he would never send me dreams, visions, angels, for I am well contented with this gift, that I have the holy Scripture, which does abundantly teach and supply all necessary for this life, and the life to come." Thomas Brooks.
