God, who has so generously bestowed his gifts upon him, and on account of the justice and truth which ought to be made manifest for the honour of God and the advancement of his Church; beseech his Majesty to deliver me from my chains, that I may be enabled to dispose of myself, and appear before a public assembly. Learn that I have been very ill, and have been obliged to take remedies, but that I am now better. Salute, I pray you, the Bohemian noblemen who are at the King’s court.

LETTER XV.[2]
TO THE SAME.
[He exhorts his friends to beware of the snares of his adversaries, who, like the Corycæans, listen to and envenom all things.][3]
I have passed nearly the whole of last night in answering in writing the articles that Paletz has drawn up;
- ↑ Peter Maldoniewitz.
- ↑ Hist. et Monum. Johann. Huss, Epist. liv.
- ↑ Luther adds: “Male loquentes etiam Gardinali Hostiensi.” He is deceived when he takes the Cardinal Osti for Master John Cardinal, referred to in this letter: the latter was a Doctor of Prague, and a friend of John Huss. The manner in which Huss expresses himself on this subject, suffices to shew Luther’s error.
