To Nicolas Hausmann letter 12 - Martin Luther

TO NICOLAS HAUSMANN

Luther complains of temptations.

March 3, Grace and peace! The Catechism is not ready, but it will soon be, my Hausmann, also the

sermon against the Turks. But in spite of my soul being well, I am always ill, so dreadfully does Satan plague me by preventing me studying, for I must have society to hinder him attacking me in my solitude. Pray for me. Now that your Paul has been dismissed as Spalatin wrote, you must be thinking of a successor. If you have none in view, I think Cordatus would be the most suitable. He is an excellent and learned man, and a staunch confessor of his faith.

Farewell, and pray for the impending Diet. MARTIN LUTHER .
