To Nicolas Hausmann letter 32 - Martin Luther

TO NICOLAS HAUSMANN

Luther speaks of his health and politics. March 27, 1538.

Grace and peace in Christ! I herewith send the two pamphlets against the Jews, and the Cardinals’ proposals for the reformation of the Church. Dr. Jonas has gone instead of me to Brunswick, as I could not risk the journey on account of my health. I have no news that you have not long known, viz. that there is no peace between the Emperor and the French. The Venetians are in a dilemma on account of the Sultan. He has blocked up their fleet, so that they cannot get out to the open sea. If the Emperor and the Italian Princes do not come to their aid they will again be compelled to make a treaty with the Sultan. May God forgive our sins and hasten the day of redemption. God grant this. Farewell in Christ, and pray for me.

Greet Meister Peter. MARTIN LUTHER . (Schutze.)
