And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof... Micah 5:6
"Eck and Emser, with their fellows, undertook to instruct me concerning the
primacy of the pope. 
Here too, not to be ungrateful to such learned folk, I
acknowledge how greatly I have profited by their labors.
For, while denying the
divine authority of the papacy, I still admitted its human authority.
---But--- after hearing and reading the subtle subtleties of these
pretentious and conceited men, with which they skilfully prop their idol – for
in these matters my mind is not altogether unreachable – I now know of a
certainty that the papacy is the kingdom of Babylon and the power of Nimrod
the mighty hunter." Martin Luther
