To Mrs. Barbara Lischner in Freiberg. March 7, 1535.
To the Honorable, Virtuous Woman, Barbara Lischner in Freiberg, my favorable good friend, God's Grace and Peace in Christ.
Honorable, virtuous woman! Your dear brother Jerome Weller has indicated to me how you are eagerly awaiting the reverend sacrament of both forms, and are considering whether it might be received secretly at home.
Now however also in the papacy such abuse was that one had particles in houses for own masses etc., but nevertheless for the sake of the example and other causes,
I will not and cannot advise it. Because everyone would want it that way, that the common church and assembly would be abandoned and desolate; if it is to be a public and common confession.
