Kurtzer vnterricht von gerechtigkeit Christlicher Obrigkeit in erwelung vnd beruffung der Kirchendiener : zusammen gezogen, aus heiliger Göttlicher schrifft, aus den Patribus, vnd den furnembsten Theologen zu vnser zeit, Luthero vnd andern mehr
Summary: Formal opinion of Siegfried Saccus, schoolmaster at Magdeburg and later its first Lutheran cathedral preacher, concerning the right of the city government to appoint clergy. As a follower of the strict Lutheran Nicholas von Amsdorff, he steered a careful path between the views of the local Catholic hierarchy on the one hand, and those of the Münster Anabaptists, on the other. Although Magdeburg became a refuge of the strict Lutheran party following the Schmalkald War, the city council was late in making an official decision for or against the Reformation.
