From the Schmid collection at Helmstädt in Schütze, Vol. III, p. 56 and in De Wette, Vol. V, p. 96.

Letters from the year 1538. No. 2411. 2412.

To the distinguished man, Mr. Franz Burkhard, Chancellor of Saxony, his godfather and very good friend in the Lord.

Grace and peace in Christ! I am finally sending you myself, because (as you write) someone else is not sending them, the theses of the third and fourth disputation, my dear Franz. For you said that you had those of the first and second, and I am surprised, since everything else is so diligently carried to the court, that they also do not omit a flea bite, that they do not report these all-known things. Next Saturday [Jan. 12] 1) I will disput the second disputation, to hear again, if they want, these antinomians.

No. 2412.
