Note 1106 — Chapter XVIII
E. M. Lamond translation
He writes to Melanchthon on June 30, 1530, “Briefwechsel,” 8, p. 51: “Si nos ruemus, ruet Christus una! Esto ruat, malo ego cum Christo ruere quam cum Cæsare stare.” His cause was without “temeritas” and quite pure, “quod testatur mihi Spiritus ipse.” Ibid.: “Ego pro te oro, oravi et orabo nec dubito, quin sim exauditus; sentio illud Amen in corde meo.” The entire letter mirrors his frame of mind during his stay at the Castle of Coburg.
