Summary
The numbers below refer back to the footnotes of the Latin text above by page number followed by footnote code. Cochlaeus's marginalia are distinguished from those of Pynson by the letters JC. Two marginalia from Hieronymus Emser's German translation are also translated below.
68 b. JC: A foolish excuse, because Luther was even more unfair in insulting the king if the book was not his.
68 d. Oh, the bashfulness and modesty of Luther.
68 e. JC: The hirelings were the Lutherans, not the papists.
68 f. A new humility in Luther.
70 h. JC: See how the reed is bent by the wind.
70 i. The king's honour stands in no need of such an author
70 k. Notice, reader, how the king replies to this.
70 l. JC: What an impudent falsehood. Hieronymus Emser: The Sirens are sea monsters who by means of their sweet singing lure towards them ships and the people that are on them until they are led into a dangerous whirlpool in which they are sucked underwater and drowned.
70 m. Consider how true this is.
70 n. JC: What became of charity towards God, the subject of the first and greatest commandment?
70 p. Why don't you practise what you preach?
72 q. JC: False boasting.
72 r. But this prince already does this, habitually.
72 s. JC: Therefore Luther promised a palinode, God willing.
72 t. Hence, of course, these tears.
74 d. A summary of the contents of Luther's letter to the king.
76 h. That is, those who can't keep quiet about the truth.
76 j. Luther's promises.
76 l. JC: Luther is ashamed of his book.
78 n. Impudence is Luther's one and only method of proving anything.
78 t. JC: The king's book.
78 u. How much authority the See of Rome had according to St Jerome.
78 v. How different from Luther is this godly prince.
78 w. JC: A comparison of the king's book with Luther’s.
