LUTHER WRITES TO HIS HONORED BROTHER IN CHRIST, MARTIN BUCER Concerning the Congress.

March 25, 1536.

Grace and peace in Christ! I must write shortly to you, dear Herr Brother, because for fourteen days I have been prostrate with a dreadful cough, and have hardly begun to recover. As to our Congress , this is our opinion. Our Elector has chosen Eisenach as the place of meeting, being close to Hesse. Julius Menius is superintendent there. The fourth Sabbath after Easter seems to me the most convenient. Discuss it with your friends and let me know. Were the third or any other more convenient for you, we

have no objections. Only let Brentius, Schnepf, and anyone else you wish to have, hear through you. I shall inform Osiander and the other Nurnberg people, but leave you to inform the South Germans. May you prosper in Christ; pray for me.

MARTIN LUTHER . (Walch, 19. 2526.)
