Luther at the Diet of Worms
archetypes
Augustinian monk summoned before the emperor to recant his writings; asks for a day to consider; returns and says unless convinced by Scripture and plain reason, my conscience is captive to the word of God, I cannot and will not recant; protected by Frederick to the Wartburg; translates the Bible into German. Failure mode: Later harsher writings against opponents and Jews — record the whole figure. Restoration path: Conscience under Scripture, not under Rome; do the work of translation while hidden. Markers: summoned by power; asks for time before answering; conscience under Scripture and plain reason; protected by a friendly noble; translates Scripture while hidden — Luther at the Diet of Worms, German, 1483-1546 (History)
