Luther and the Protestant Reformation Ninety-Five Theses (1517). Posted in Wittenberg church, printed and widely circulated. It contains his critics of Church abuses:

All those who believe themselves certain of their own salvation by means of letters of indulgence, will be eternally damned, together with their teachers.
