Volume 7

11. sermon on Matth. 18, 1-12.,

Return to Volume 7

held on Michaelmas, September 29, 1530, at Coburg.

This sermon is found in our edition vol. X, 1020, but (as well as in all other editions) with the wrong year 1531. In the Zwickau manuscript, the two sermons are available that Luther gave in 1531. The incorrect year stems from the fact that this sermon was not printed until 1531. Variants: Col. 1022, § 3, line 3 v. u. read: "a pious prince. But he uses it only to the people's detriment, the other to

Nutz." Col. 1032, § 23, line 4 v. o. read: "So thut er jetzt zu Augsburg." Col. 1029, § 18, line 7 v. u. read: "Wine and grain." Col. 1030, § 19, line 7 v. u. before "Zun dritte" insert: "It is not dear to him that man and woman stand unkindly against each other." In addition to these, Buchwald gives several other variant readings, which are not as good as those given in our edition.
