Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

Grace, peace, and a heart steadfastly fixed upon
the Lord, is what I wish you, A. of B., my dear
brother in the Lord, and I thank the Lord for the
letter you wrote me. Thanks to the Lord for it,
and I also request of you, my dear brother, that
you help me to entreat the Lord, that I may become
worthy of what you wished me, and desired
of me. However, I still have a good hope, thanks
to the Lord for it. I also am still willing to suffer
for his name’s sake; but may he give me strength
for it. Amen.

I also desire you, my dear brother, to wish our
brother H. K. much good in my name. May the
Lord make us worthy of every good thing; however,
I cannot write you as much as I should like
to see you have. May the Lord, according to his
great mercy, give us what will tend to our salvation.
Amen. And I ask you to wish all my brethren and
sisters with whom the Lord will cause you to come
in contact, much good, and to admonish them to
faithfully pray the Lord, to uphold me in his faithful
word until death. I expect not to forget to remember
you, as much as shall be possible for me.
May the Lord assist us to pray in true love, so that
we may be heard, and hereafter, with all the pious,
inherit his kingdom; to this end, may the Lord
help us. Amen.

I also inform you, that on Halloween two priests
visited me, who desired to take me to church; and
when I did not consent to it, they commended me
to the Lord; there were also three judges here, and
did their best; but the Lord preserved me, praise
and thanks to him for it, and may he preserve you
and me as long as we live. Amen. O my dear brethren
and sisters, beseech the Lord diligently for me,
that, since he suffers me, unworthy servant, to be
cast into prison, it may redound to his praise, and
to my salvation; this I desire with all my heart.
May the Lord come to your and my assistance.

Herewith I commend you to the Lord, and to
the word of his grace. Amen.

I, Conrad Koch, have written this letter from
Loewenburg, in prison, A. D. 1565.
