To Christoph Froschauer,printer at Zurich - Martin Luther

TO CHRISTOPH FROSCHAUER, PRINTER AT ZURICH August 31, 1543.

Grace and peace in the Lord, honored and good friend! I have received the present of the Bible which you sent by your manager, and I thank you for it. But seeing it is the work of your preachers, with whom neither I nor the Church of God can have any communion, I am sorry that their labor should be in vain. They have been sufficiently warned to quit their errors and not take the poor people to hell with them. But admonition is useless, therefore they must go their own way, but never again send me any of their work. I shall be no partaker of their damnation or damnable doctrines, but pray and teach against them to my end. May God convert them and help the poor churches to get rid of such false, seductive preachers. Amen. Although at present they laugh at all this, one day they shall weep when they find themselves sharers of Zwingli’s fate, whom they follow. May God preserve you and all blameless hearts from their spirit. Amen.

MARTIN LUTHER .
