Answer to No. 2433: Bullinger thanks Luther for his letter and his friendly opinion of Zwingli and Oecolampad. He excuses the publication of Zwingli's writing "to King Christian", which Luther had noted with displeasure; he had not known that there was much in it that would rightly annoy all the godly. With reference to Augustine and Chrysostom, he tries to demonstrate Zwingli's orthodoxy. Finally, since Luther had said that he could not approve all of theirs, he asked Luther to indicate where the Swiss differed, so that any appearance of discord could be removed.
