FLAMMIS, fumoque quam lectione, aut oculis digniores multo perlegimus tuas literas, quibus tua ipsius scelera in nos torquere subdole, & astutè admodum moliris Et quo firmius ista tua statuas, veterē inter pocula me tui suggillatorem facis. Quod quam vere (ut omnia) dicas, jam vide. Narravit nobis praesentibus jamolim Marchfeldiae unus & item alter, qui tuae interfuerant concioni, te palam summaque ut prae te ferebas, cum authoritate dixisse, indignos esse miseros homunculos, qui angelica salutatione salutent deiparam virginem ni velint ipsam rursum ut p•r••t Christum. Ego haec dixi, parum Christian & religiose abs te dicta, cavendumque diligenter pijs quibusque christianis, ne huiusmodi fidem habeant concionatoribus. An hoc est te •uggillate an magis & tibi & illis pie, & religiose consulere? Nihil ego tibi & tu mihi, necdum viso, bilis impingo, sed summa raraque te esse modestia, & tolerantia hominem (ut videri vis) gaudeo, sed & gaudebo nec retorqueo in te conuitia, & probra, quibus tuae scatent literae. At istud non video quomodo dicas (imo nec admonitum tandem, sed acerimè potius redargutum, sed conuitijs & mendatijs male habitum potius, sed calumnijs inique affectum potius, sed falso condemnatum potius) Redargui fate or, at ea redargutio quam admonitio, aliud nihil. Conuitium nullum, mendatium nullum, calumnia nulla, quod sciam, in meis conspicitur literis, nisi mentitus est Paulus, Nisi calunniatus est Paulus, Nisi cō uiciatus est Paulus quum diceret quosdam see dixisse, faciend• mala ut venirent bona. Nos calidi adhuc tuo spiritu, tua tibi tetulimus verba, id quod norunt probe omnes, qui te illic una audiere. Utinam tu nil tale effudisses, ego tum certe nihil tibi tale asscripsissem. Absit à me ut ego (quod dicere videris, ullo te animi odio, ullo te impio mentis affectu persequar. Didici ex Christo diligere etiam inimicos: tantum abest ut hominem fratrem, eiusdemque domini conseruum odio habeam Sed plus quam hostilia, plus quam cruenta tua verba nequicquā me movent. Tantum quam possum paucissimis tuis respondebo post hac te tuo relicturus judici.
