Note 734 — Chapter XXIV
E. M. Lamond translation
Cp. Kolde, “Analecta,” p. 231, where Capito’s letter to Luther of June 13, 1536, is given. The letter is also in Luther’s “Briefwechsel,” 10, p. 353. Capito there laments, “me deiectiorem apud me factum, adeo ut in morbum melancholicum prope inciderim. Hilaritatem, si potero, revocabo.” The internal dissensions, which pained and distressed him to the last degree, were the immediate cause of his sadness, so he declares.
