treatise. In order go gain the necessary leisure for its
composition he had obtained a dispensation from all the capel
services of his monastery. See Weimar Ed., VI, 277.
[58] In a similar vein of satire Shakespeare uses this very
phrase in “Merry Wives of Windsor,” III, 5.

[60] Alveld had stated that the attempt had been made “more than
23 times”; and again, “The assembly has existed more than 1486
under the chair of St. Peter which Christ has established.” See
Weimar Ed., VI.

[62] Still the old terminology.
[63] Equivalent to father-confessor. The pope’s own confessor is
so called.

[68] i. e., The Russians, who were in ecclesiastical fellowship
with the Orthodox Greek Church. The metropolitan see of Moscow
represented the opposition to union with Rome, which had been
proposed in 1439; the second metropolitan see of Russia, that of
Kief, was until 1519 favorable to the union. See A. Palmieri and
W. J. Shipman, in The Catholic Encyclopedia, X, 594 ff; XIII,
255 f., and Adeney, Greek and Eastern Churches, 385 ff.

[70] Annates (annatae, annalia), originally the income which a
bishop received from the vacant benefices in his diocese, usually
amounting to a year’s income of the benefice. By a decree of John
XXII, 1317 (Extrav. Jn. XXII, Lib. I, C. 2), the annates are
fixed at one-half of one year’s income of the benefice reckoned
on the basis of the tithes, and payable on accession of the new
incumbent. Two years later (1319) the same Pope set an important
precedent by claiming for himself the annates from all benefices
falling vacant in the next two years (*Extrav. Comm. 3, 2, C.
II*). The right to receive annates subsequently became a regular
claim of the popes. The term was extended after 1418 to include,
beside the annates proper, the so-called servitia, payments
made to the curia by bishops and abbots at the time of their
accession. Luther discusses the subject at greater length in the
Address to the Christian Nobility. (See Vol. II)
[71] See above, p. 362.
[72] Römische Einigkeit.
[73] This is Alveld’s explanation in his German treatise.

[77] A reference to the sale of dispensations, more fully
discussed in the Address to the Christian Nobility.
[78] At the well-known disputation in the previous year.
[79] John Lonicer in Contra romanistam fratrem, etc., and John
Bernhardi in Confutatio inepti et impii libelli, etc.; both
replies to Alveld’s Latin treatise which appeared shortly before
this treatise of Luther’s.
