(Regest.)

Bucer had written a counsel, the so-called "Strasbourg Reformation", in which he raised the question: whether a complaint against the pope should not be filed at the upcoming Diet of Worms? Bucer's writing had been sent by the Landgrave of Hesse to the Elector of Saxony, and it had reached the Wittenberg theologians on January 3. In their concern about the above question, they judged that it would not be useful to bring such a suit at the Imperial Diet.

From the Cod. Galli I, p. 75, reprinted in Corp. ref. vol. V, 643. Melanchthon appears to be the author.

No. 3184.
