After a long trial on the day of his departure from
this world, the articles being many, Michael Sattler[226](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-14/#Footnote_226)
requested that they should be read to him again and
that he should have another hearing. This the
bailiff, as the governor of his lord, opposed and
would not consent to it. Michael Sattler then requested
permission to speak. After a consultation,
the judges returned as their answer, that if his opponents
would allow it, they (the judges) would
consent. Thereupon the town clerk of Ensisheim,
as the attorney of said Governor spoke thus:
“Prudent, honorable and wise Sirs, He has boasted
of the Holy Ghost. Now, if his boast is true, it
seems to me, it is unnecessary to grant him this; for
if he has the Holy Ghost, as he boasts, the same
will tell him what has been done here.” To this
Michael Sattler replied: “Ye servants of God, I
hope my request will not be denied; for said articles
are as yet unknown to me.” The town clerk responded:
“Prudent, honorable and wise Sirs,
Though we are not bound to do this, yet in order
to give satisfaction, we will grant him his request
that it may not be thought that injustice is done him
in his heresy, or that we desire to wrong him;
hence let the articles be read to him.”
