To the elector John Frederick letter 20 - Martin Luther

TO THE ELECTOR JOHN FREDERICK

Luther wishes Melanchthon to remain in Wittenberg. January 9, 1546.

Grace and peace in Christ, and my poor paternoster, Most Serene Highborn Prince, most gracious Lord! I ask respectfully whether it be necessary to send M. Philip to the present vain and fruitless discussion at Regensburg. For they have no man on their side who is worth anything, and Dr. Major is more than sufficient for all that is needed, even should he only be able to say “Yes” or “No” to what is being enacted. What would be done were Philip dead or ill, as he really is, so that I truly rejoice that I got

him home alive from Mansfeld? Hence he must now be spared, for he is of more use lying in bed here than at the Diet. He is willing to risk his life if it be desired, but who would counsel that? It would be a tempting of Providence. The young doctors must come to the front, for when we are gone they must proclaim the Word. As Dr. Major and others are able to preach and teach, it will be easy for them to dispute with such sophists, for they have daily to combat and withstand the devil himself. I respectfully write this for your Electoral Grace’s consideration. May the Lord Christ make you act in accordance with his Divine will. Amen. Your Electoral Grace’s obedient
