(4) Luther: the Author marvels Strimesius cited a letter hostile to the Reformed.

He adds Marburg: Luther ranked Zwinglian errors — including denying Oral eating — as deadly assaults on faith’s foundation, so the sides agreed to keep peace in writing until God opened Zwinglian hearts.

Latin

(4.) LUTHERI, cujus Testimonium miratur à me allegatum, quippe, ex Epistola, Reformatis infesta, depromptum, maximè, cùm notum prætereà sit, Lutherum Marpurgi, ubi de Cœna S. inter Lutherum & Zwinglium disceptatum potissimum fuerat, errores Zwinglianos, interque eos, Oralis Manducationis inficiationem, adeò exitiales & fundamentum christianæ fidei impetentes æstimasse, ut proptereà tandem ita inter Disputantes conventum sit: Pacem se habituros mutuis scriptis, si fortè Deus Zwinglianis Cor aperiat.
