In 1524, Luther potentially sacrificed the beginning of his new church by supporting the peasants of northern Germany instead of backing the German princes who helped get his new church started. What was the potential consequence of Luther's support for the peasants?
1) The German princes withdrew their support for Luther's new church
2) The peasants successfully established their own church separate from Luther's
3) The new church faced opposition from both the German princes and the peasants
4) Luther's new church gained more followers and support
