(Regest.)
The Landgrave thanks Luther and Melanchthon for their opinion (concerning the bigamy), expresses the hope that he will now be able to "pursue all evangelical affairs more freely, more confidently and more courageously", while otherwise he would have fallen into despair, since he had not gone to the sacrament since the Peasants' War due to complaints of conscience. As Melanchthon would have reported to him, he had now entered into a second marriage, which he wanted to keep secret 2c.
According to the concept in Marburg, communicated by M. Lenz, Briefwechsel Bucers, p. 361. The above regest in Kolde, p. 348.
