To Johann Agricola letter 3 - Martin Luther

TO JOHANN AGRICOLA

January 1, Grace and peace! Kathie, my wife and commander, ordered me to thank you for the cloth you sent, but such a costly gift is not seemly for poor people like us. It is just as it should be, that Elizabeth should enter your Elizabeth’s service. God grant that she may be truly obedient. We are all well, and amusing ourselves by beautifying Wittenberg, so that it may have a uniform appearance, while we are becoming lamentably indifferent to the Word of God. I am at present preparing to attack the fanatics abroad. Pray to God for me that He may crush Satan. Otherwise there is nothing new here. May you and yours prosper.

All here greet you. MARTIN LUTHER .
