Annotatio III §.II: From the Lutheran side — Luther himself urges Bucer toward Concord (1535); then presses Strasbourg and Swiss approvals (1536–1538)
From the Lutheran side, another mark of the Wittenberg Concord’s completeness is this: Luther himself spurred Bucer to seek it — letters to the Strasburgers, 1535 (Buddeus, Epistle 120, p. 248).
After the Formula was set, Luther pressed Strasbourg’s approval in 1536 (Epistle 223, p. 257), and the Swiss as well — 1 December 1537 (Epistle 231) and 1538 (Epistle 232).
