Martin Luther lived from 1483 to 1546.
Phillipians 3:17-21: Brethren, join in imitating me, and mark those who so live as you have an example in us.

Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

John Calvin lived from 1509 to 1564.
