(Regest.)

Approximately the same content as the two previous letters (No. 2722 and 2723) to which Bucer refers. He also reports that the bishop of Feltre boasts that he has orders from the pope to concede very many and very great things. This, however, would be handled in such a way that the Antichrist would retain his tyranny. The bishop of Seckau 1) had arrived. One expects those of Cologne and Trier 2c. In the postscript, he indicates that the landgrave had given strict orders not to slacken on necessary doctrines of religion, but only to give an explanation.

From Bucer's autograph in Vol. Epist. Opin. ep. 144, printed in Corp. fol. vol. III, 1141.

No. 2726.
