Decem Theses II: Two Imperial exemplars — Wittenberg 1531 and augmented 1540/41 to Ferdinand at Naumburg 1561

II. Properly speaking, two exemplars have been acknowledged and presented by the Electors, Princes, and Imperial Estates, and they stand in Luther's and Melanchthon's writings and in the Imperial Acts.

The earlier was printed at Wittenberg in 1531; the later, enlarged in 1540 and 1541, was sent with the earlier one to Emperor Ferdinand I at Naumburg in 1561 — and to this day nothing has been added to it or taken from it.

Latin

Duo interim Exemplaria propriè loquendô ab Electoribus, Principibus & Statibus Imperii agnita & exhibita sunt, inque scriptis Lutheri & Melanchthonis & Actis Imperii reperiunda: Prius Wittenbergae An. 31. impressum; Posterius An. 40. & 41. auctum Caesarique Ferdinando I. unà cum priori, An. 1561. Naumburgô transmissum, cui ad hanc usq; diem nihil additum ademptumque fuit.
