Note 255 — LXIII.—To Farel.[243]
Reading edition
An allusion to the state of bigamy in which the Landgrave of Hesse was then living, with the authorization of Luther, of Melanchthon, and of Bucer. The explanations given by Seckendorf (lib. iii. par. 79, addit. 3) are altogether ineffectual to clear up this affair—one of the scandals of the Reformation in Germany.
