In the month of June before, there was a public disputation ordained at Lypsia, a city in Misma,1 under the dominion of George duke of Saxony, uncle to duke Frederick. At that disputation Eckius and Carolostadius disputed of free will: and thither came Luther, and Phillip Melanchthon, to hear what was done. Luther not minding, nor purposing to dispute: but there being provoked he disputed with Eckius, of the Popes supremacy, of Purgatory, of Indulgences, and of Penance. This was in the month of July, an. 1519. About the beginning of which year Zuinglius 2came first to Zurich, and taught: who at Zurick withstood Sampson a Friar, that came thither with the Popes pardons.
