Answer to Luther's letter No. 3021. The letters of the princes to the council of Venice had been read out in the assembly of the same by Matthias Flacius; out of consideration for the papists, however, the authenticity of the letters had been suspected 2c., which is why the princes would like to write again, which Luther should cause them to do. They profess Luther's doctrine of the Lord's Supper and express the fear that after his death false prophets will arise in this direction 2c.

To Christoph Froschauer, printer in Zurich.

Luther thanks him for the kindness of sending him the Bible translation of Leo Jude, but renounces all fellowship with the clergy there because of their false teaching.
