About a marriage case; about the Anabaptists in Münster. An exegetical discussion, it seems, about Gal. 4, 4.
From Aurifaber's unprinted collection, p. 209 in Schütze, Vol. II, p. 318 and in De Wette, Vol. I V, p. 548.
Grace and peace! My dear Myconius, you sent the matter of this Körsner 1) to me late. For our judges had already passed judgment for this (as you call her) Gela, and they say that they have clearer testimonies than for the other party, otherwise, in my opinion, according to your writings, I would have made my pronouncement for that other, the Osanna. What shall I do now? I cannot undo anything, and I must leave the matter, as one that is not within my jurisdiction, to their judges.
I care little for the Anabaptists in Münster. Satan is raging, but the Scripture stands firm that Christ will be the seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham, the seed of David, the fruit of the body, the fruit of the loins 2c. These thunderbolts of the Spirit do not allow me to dream otherwise,
