The Catholic church and Persecution (Revue d'Alsace, [Colmar, 1852,] vol. 3)

Text: "I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;" Daniel 7:21; "And he shall ... wear out the saints of the most High, and ... they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Daniel 7:25

Quote:

[...] Le magistrat de Strasbourg s'en servit en 1211 pour découvrir les Vaudois, contre lesquels il n'y avait pas de preuves certaines. Il fit saisir plus de quatre-vingts personnes de l'un et de l'autre sexe, qui furent tous obligées de manier un fer chaud. Il n'est pas étonnant que la plupart eurent les mains entièrement brûlées. A cette marque, qui passait pour le jugement de Dieu, ils furent déclarés coupables et condamnés au feu. [...]

The open or incomplete pentagram (Goethe; Taylor, tr., Faust: a Tragedy, 1889)

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES. I must confess that forth I may not wander, My steps by one slight obstacle controlled,--- The wizard's-foot, that on your threshold made is. FAUST. The pentagram prohibits thee? Why, tell me now, thou Son of Hades, If that prevents, how cam'st thou in to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated? MEPHISTOPHELES. Inspect the thing: the drawing's not completed. The outer angle, you may see, Is open left---the lines don't fit it. Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von; Taylor, Bayard, tr., Faust: a Tragedy , auth. ed., London; New York: Ward, Lock, and Co., 1889, p. 40 . Online Source:   a
