INTRODUCTION.

graces, &c. ; and then in exposition of the Lord’s Prayer
embodies the conversation or disputation found at p. 97 of
Gau between God and the soul, which is supposed to have
formed the groundwork of one German hymn and to have
suggested the idea of some others.1 The introduction, expo¬
sition of the Ten Commandments, and section “ off the halie
Chrissine faith ” (pp. 3-26), Brandt traces back to Luther’s
‘ Kurze Form.’ The exposition of the Creed and the first
of the two sections “ of faith ” (pp. 27-76) he traces to the
treatise of Urbanus Rhegius mentioned above ; the second
section “ of faith ” and the sections on the three parts of
the faith (pp. 76-81) to Luther’s ‘Kurze Form’; the sec¬
tions introductory to the Lord’s Prayer (pp. 82-85) t° Lu¬
ther’s ‘Auslegung des Vater unsers fiir die einfaltigen
Layen,’ 1518; the exposition of the seven petitions of the
Lord’s Prayer (pp. 85-97) to Luther’s ‘ Kurze Form.’ The
disputation upon the Pater Noster (pp. 97-101) may be traced
to Luther’s ‘ Bedebog’ of 1520 or to the ‘ Biichlein fur die
Layen und Kinder,’ and the exposition of the Ave Maria
to Luther’s ‘ Bedebog.’2 Some of these treatises of Luther
and also the treatise of Rhegius are said to have been
translated into Danish a few years before Pedersen revised
and incorporated them into his 1 Rette Vey.’ These, in
part at least, were the work of Paulus Eliae or Eliesen, who
in the outset bade fair to be the Reformer of Denmark ;
but as the work progressed he became dissatisfied with it,
and finally cast in his lot with the friends of the old or¬
der of things, and sturdily defended their views.
1 More than one “Gesprach Christ! und des Sunders” is given in Wacker-
nagel’s 1 Kirchenlied,’ No. 245, 699, &c. Witzstadt’s hymn, “Von dem streyte
des fleysches wider den geyst,” is translated in the ‘Gude and Godlie Ballates’
as “ane sang of the flesche and the spirit.”
