Therefore I thank God and have the child and Aunt Lena thank the right Father; since you would have certainly lost this father. The pious Prince has run,rode,fetched and endeavored with all possibilities to the greatest degree attempted to help me; however, it was not meant to be. Your art with the manure also did not help. God has done a miracle on me and does yet by the prayers of pious people.
This I therefore write to you since I consider that my gracious Lord has commanded the Landvogt to send you towards me that you previously may talk with me oor see me should I die along the way; that is not now necessary and you may well stay at home, because God has so richly helped me so that I look forward to come to you. Today we are laying over at Gotha. I have already written and marvel that nothing has come to you. Thursday after Reminiciere (27 Febr.) 1537 Martinus Luther.

LOrd like this is the LOrd God. Lord is for earthly lords. M.G.H. is my gracious lord. What is "manure art" (Kunst Mist) ? According to the Luther Index (Agnes Farkas) the Weimar note says that this was probably a drink prepared from Pferdapfeln and Knoblach i.e. horse manure and a root(garlic?0 which Kette gave to a leader of the Prince to be delivered to ML in his distress which worked not.
