In the month of June before, there was a public disputation ordained at Lypsia.1 which is a City in Misnia, under the dominion of George Duke of Saxony, uncle to Duke Frederick. This disputation first began thorough the occasion of Joannes Eckius, a Fryer, and Andraeas Carolostadius, Doctor of Wittenberg. This Eckius had impugned certain propositions or conclusions of Martin Luther, which he had written the year before, touching the popes pardons. Against him Carolostadius wrote in defence of Luther.2 Eckius again to answer Carolostadius, set forth an Apology. Which Apology Carolostadius again confuted by writing. Upon this began the disputation, with safe conduct granted by Duke George, to all & singular,3 persons, that would resort to the same. To this disputation came also Martin Luther, with Philip Melanchthon, who not past a year before was newly come to Wittenberg, Luther not thinking then to dispute in any matter, because of his appellation above mentioned, but only to hear what there was said and done.
