Response to No. 2094d. - The Landgrave expresses his satisfaction that Luther has a good inclination toward Christian unity, so that God's honor and His Word are promoted. He hopes that God will grant ways and means by which unanimous Christian faith will be preserved. He reports that Melanchthon and Bucer have arrived there, and expresses the hope that Luther and others will behave toward each other in such a way that unanimity will be maintained, and God's Word will not remain in Saxony alone, but will resound everywhere and gain continuity.
