... that the itinerant preacher Thomas Illyricus(pictured) wrote early critiques of Martin Luther based only on sources Luther would accept? Source: Brown, op. cit.: "early defender of Catholic rites and doctrine against Martin Luther ... an itinerant preacher ... Thomas took a reasoned analytical approach to Luther's assertions and, omitting any reference to papal decretals or the scholastic theology Luther held in contempt, appealed only to scripture and to the Latin and Greek church fathers in forming his arguments."
ALT1: ... that fifty years before the French Wars of Religion, Thomas Illyricus(pictured) preached that Luther was sent by God as punishment, but that a "sword of fury" was still to come? Source: Crouzet, op. cit.: "Thomas Illyricus announced that Luther had come as chastisement for the sins of men ... The 'sword of fury' was yet to come..." For the connection to the Wars of Religion, see Bryson, op. cit.: "He is said to have come to Bordeaux in 1526 ... to predict the Wars of Religion in Aquitaine."
