(Regest.)

Agricola had published a small paper "Drey Sermon und Predigen" in June, with Luther's approval.

1) In the Christmas days of 1536 Agricola had left Eisleben and gone to Wittenberg.

After a closer examination, it turned out that the sermons were antinomian. (See St. Louis Edition, Vol. XX, Introduction, p. 50d f.) Now, in this letter, he expresses his regret that Luther had changed his judgment about this writing, in which he had only followed the teaching of the apostles, and asks to let Jonas judge about it.

Mitgetheilt von Kawerau in the Zeitschrift für Kirchengeschichte, IV, 303. The above regest in Kolde, Analecta, p. 309.
