Melancthon and His Mother
Genesis 45:24
So he sent his brothers away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that you fall not out by the way.


Philip Melancthon, being at the conferences at Spire, in 1529, made a little journey to Bretten, to see his mother. This good woman asked him what she must believe amidst so many disputes, and repeated to him her prayers, which contained nothing superstitious. "Go on, mother," said he, "to believe and pray as you have done, and never trouble yourself about religious controversies."
