   • 1853, George Cubitt, The Life of Martin Luther, page 323:

     There was […] a “spirit of courage” breathed into his [sc. Luther's] being, of which the heroism of this world knows nothing. Nor may we question that the same afflating influence could have wrought an equal boldness in creatures whose constitutional timidity was excessive and effeminate.
