Grace and peace! Satan afflicts me with many blows of the fist, my Wenceslaus, and thus he makes the health of my body uncertain and through his evil prevents me from writing and doing very much so I very seldom write and write and do very little; likely he will kill me in a very short time. It will not happen, however, without the will of Him who will destroy him with his entire kingdom, Amen. The opinion of Brenz about the conditional-way of of baptism I have read and I am pleased among other things with his forthright way of speaking about the freedom of conscience. Still, I assume that if he were to hear our side, he would not be disinclined to join us. I have no other news. You can learn everything from Christian Goldschmied. Be it very well with you in Christ and pray for me. On the 26 of June in the year 1531. Your Martin Luther.
NOTES: Goldschnmied or Doering is the great printer of Wittenberg who published many of ML's writings.
