Excerpt from History of the German People From the First Authentic Annals to the Present Time, Vol. 6: The Reformation
Of the inciting character of the pamphlets and Of the significant role which the poor man assumed as the advocate of the gospel, we have already spoken. Two more important factors of special importance regarding the great social upheaval must be considered, - astrology and radical preaching. Though we cannot regard them as the real cause of the revolution, none the less they intensified the exasperation of the people to that degree that an explosion was inevitable Astrology, the only Science Of that time known to the country popula tion, made the peasants believe that they were children of the planet Saturn, that is, born to suffer like criminals and vagabonds. Yet astrology also foretold the future vengeance of the common man, the whole in accordance with other forms of prophecy. And just as during the Reformation there appeared the apocalyptic compendium of the bishop Of Lake Chiem, the astrologic literature greatly increased and would have surpassed as to quantity that of the period Of the Reformation.
