Note 168 — Chapter XXI · (continued 2)
E. M. Lamond translation
Luther to the Electoral Chancellor, Brück, “shortly after Jan. 10,” “Briefe,” 6, p. 296, where he also approvingly notes that Menius had not written “‘contra necessitatem et casualem dispensationem individuæ personæ,’ of which we, as confessors, treated”; he only “inveighed ‘contra legem et exemplum publicum polygamiæ,’ which we also do.” Still, he finds that Menius “excuses the old patriarchs too feebly.”
