To the honorable and wise Lords, Mayor and Council in Goettingen, my favored Lords and good Friends.
Grace and peace in Christ. Honroable, wise Lords! I have had your Order printed as you see. However, why the Licentiat Basilius is not coming you will learn from his writing. I am not glad to be in the position of having proposed the good man now to have to let him sit. It is the fault of my piety or foolishness that I did not previously inquire about the matter. This is not my first mistake nor will it be my last.
God grant that you will at all times be certain and united first of all on a matter before you undertake such a thing. Herwith be commended to God, Amen. On the first of March 1531. Mart. Luther.
