The Cardinal sent for Johannes Stupitius, Vicar of the Augustines, and moved him earnestly to bring Luther to recant of his own accord. Luther tarried two days after, and nothing was said unto him:1 the third day he delivered his mind in writing, submitting himself, and promising, that he would have more moderation, and that (touching the matter of pardons) he would proceed no further. Only he said, he could not retract his sentence before defended, for so much, as he had said nothing, but with a good conscience, and that was agreeable to the testimony of the Scriptures.
