- 3325: On the Jews and Their Lies
- ... Let the Jews bite on this nut and dispute this question as long as they wish. For such ruthless wrath of God is sufficient evidence that they assuredly have erred and gone astray.

Moreover, his prayer was beautifully adorned, since he said it with thanksgiving and fancied that he was sitting on God's lap as his pet child.

Oh, what do we poor muck-worms, maggots ...
