Note 770 — Chapter XVII · WILL THE ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH UNITY AND TRUTH SUCCEED? (August to November 1535.)
Reading edition
‘Maximopere obtestantes ut pro virili nobiscum incumbatis in tam pium sanctumque opus.’ Corp. Ref. ii. p. 1010. Seckendorf says (Hist. Luth. p. 1146) that this letter had been sent to the Elector beforehand; but in the documents of the State Paper Office at Weimar we read: ‘Hæc locutus reddidit principi litteras quas vocant credentiales.’ And the Corpus gives in a note the letter we have just quoted.
