You might want to look at it in Latin before you put anything on
paper about Luther's interpretation. My copy is also a translation, but
from a note including Luther's latin on the translation of the intitial
phrase, I wonder. It reads "For now preach I man's Doctrine or God's?"
but the Latin is, _Nunc enim homines suadeo an Deum?_, which, in my
rudimentary Latin, I understand as "Now do I, indeed, persuade men or
God." The translated text that follows, however, seems to give the same
sense as Travis has cited for Calvin. Maybe there is someone out there
with a copy of this commentary in Latin and the expertise in the language
to give us a more exact idea of Luther's comments on this passage.
