To the excellent and respectable Mr. Hieronymus Dungersheim of Ochsenfurt, the highly learned Doctor of Sacred Theology at the University of Leipzig, his [Lord in Christ wishes Martin Luther's] salvation.
Your letter is too long, excellent sir, for me to read it through in one day and to
could answer. But this I have given to you to testify the faithful direction (fidem) of your messenger, that he has handed me your letter, yes, your book. At another time, however, I will answer it. Farewell.
