Jodok Mörlin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Jodok Mörlin, also known in Latin as Jodocus Morlinus or Maurus ( ca 1490, Feldkirch, Archduchy of Austria, Holy Roman Empire - 15 September 1550, Westhausen bei Hildburghausen, Electorate of Saxony ), was a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wittenberg, the Lutheran Pastor of Westhausen bei Hildburghausen, and a Reformer. He is famed as one of the first witnesses, allies and participants of the Reformation and as the father of two Lutheran theologians, Joachim Mörlin and Maximilian Mörlin.

Life

Before the Reformation
Jodok Mörlin was born in or around 1490 in Feldkirch in the Vorarlberg, the westernmost part of the Archduchy of Austria. He was the son of Hugo Mörlin ( 1446 - 1518 ) and his wife, Lucia Ebenko ( d. 1513 ), the grandson of Johann Mörlin, and the great-grandson of another Hugo Mörlin. The name, Jodok, was not Germanic; it was Breton. Jodok might have gotten his rare name if he was baptized on 13 December, the feast day of St Judoc, a 7th Century noble from Brittany.

Nothing is known about his early years. But in 1508 he was studying at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau, with Johann Eck as one of his teachers, and then, on a scholarship, at the University of Leipzig in 1509 and the University of Wittenberg in 1510. Here in Wittenberg his career was made. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree after only a few months in 1510 and a Magister’s degree in 1512 and became the Professor of Metaphysics in 1514 and then the Dean of the Faculty of Arts in 1516, all at the University of Wittenberg. In 1517 and 1518, he taught an introductionary course about “the three principal languages, Latin, Hebrew and Greek, and the ‘Luther College’ grammar [ der dreier vornehmsten sprach, der lateinischen, jüdischen und kriechischen, und der Kollege Luther grammatica ].”

During the Reformation
Three years after the beginning of the Reformation, in the spring of 1521, Mörlin was appointed as the pastor of Westhausen. His post had been left vacant in 1520 with the death of the last Catholic priest, Henningus Gode. By then, Mörlin was a presbyter at the Diocese of Magdeburg and already the Conventor [ parish administrator ] of Westhausen. He was recommended to replace Father Gode by Martin Luther and presented by two brothers, Frederick the Wise, the Elector of Saxony, and John the Steadfast, the Duke of Saxony, to the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Konrad von Thüngen. Mörlin was accepted and installed on 9 April 1521.

By then, Mörlin already had a wife and at least five sons, including Joachim and Maximilian, so he was, as Luther had noted in March 1521, “impotent and very poor [ unvermögend und sehr arm ]”, in need of a better income. The appointment did improve his financial prospects because Westhausen was one of the several parishes assigned to the University of Wittenberg so that the professors would have steady income from them. But, as both the pastor and a resident, Mörlin still had to deliver his parish’s annual fees to the University. He himself was not able to obtain his own exemption until 1528. So his financial problems continued, forcing his sons to learn their trades. Joachim was apprenticed as a potter, and Maximilian, as a tailor. Nevertheless, their father proved to be popular as a preacher. Residents came from all over the Heldburger Land to Westhausen to hear his sermons for years before they even got their own Lutheran pastors. This was precisely what the Elector and the Duke wanted, to limit the Catholic influence of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg over the Heldburger Land.

In 1528, the Electorate of Saxony had its first Visitation of the East Country [ Ostland ] of Franconia. When the Visitors came to Westhausen, the parishioners told them that “he was doing all the hard work in the preaching of the Divine Word, and they had no lack of it, but they complained that he would be overcome with drink and pick fights [ er In predigung gotlichs worts allen vleis thue und hetten an Ime kein Mangel, allein wes er sich den trunk überwindten und betryegen Iyeß ]”. Mörlin, threatened with dismissal, promised to improve. In the following Visitations, he kept his word, and he was allowed to keep his offices. But he still had to keep a chaplain and pay him an annual salary of 40 guilders.

After the Reformation
Mörlin died in Westhausen on 15 September 1550 after 29 years as the town’s pastor.

Family
Jodocus was married twice. His first wife was Margarete, the daughter of the administrator of the Elector of Saxony’s vineyards, and she died in either 1514 or 1515. Mörlin then married Anna Hausknecht, perhaps a native of Wittenberg, in 1515 and they had 12 children, including two of their eight sons, Joachim and Maximilian.

1)The surname was also spelled in German before and during the Reformation as Morle, Mohr, Mörtle, Mörlein and Morlin. They all mean the same thing in German, “Little Moor”, in honor of St Maurice the Moor. The coat-of-arms of Joachim Mörlin shows a Moor’s head.
2) Although he was with the Reformation from the beginning, Mörlin was not the first Reformer to have come out of Feldkirch. When he came to Wittenberg in 1510, there was already a group of Feldkirchers studying and teaching there. They were led by Bartholomäus Bernhardi ( 1487 - 1551 ). He had made the trip to Wittenberg in 1504 with fellow Feldkirchers, Johannes Dölsch and Christoph Metzler, the future Bishop of Constance.

The Letters of Jodocus Mörlin as Transcribed by Wilbur Hanson Kalb.
These letters were published by Dr. Walter Heins.

All the letters are done except for one little word, “bülhin”. This little pesky word doesn’t seem to exist today, not even in the dialect of Saxony, and I don’t know the dialect of Voralberg. It’s not even in the online dictionary of Middle High German. As far as I have been able to decipher, it’s supposed to mean, basically, “big and strong as an oak” or, in other words, “heartiness”. Otherwise, it’s done. I could have done that section leading to the letters but you probably would say, “To hell with that! I wanna see the letters!!!” So here they are, with the footnotes at the bottom and a little correction to the first letter’s last sentence. Your friend, Herr Reuther, is right. Jodocus’s personality as well as the family tensions really do come through his letters. I had fun with the translation; it didn’t even feel like work. No wonder you are so excited about those letters! I had a late start this morning but I finished much sooner than I’d thought. I just hope that Jodocus didn’t embarrass his children when they were teenagers . . . “Mother was fine; she didn’t cry. Father did all the crying . . . ”

1. Undated ( to Wittenberg )

The address : "where the most esteemed Master of hol. Theology . . . ”, and the remark, which Joachim had added underneath to prove “to my Doctorate”, places this letter in 1540. On 18 September this year Joachim Mörlin was a Doctor of Theology in Wittenberg.

Grace and Peace of the Christ! Dear Son! I would have written to you more, but as things stand now, I cannot write to you more than I could to send with this messenger, Joh. Schlesinger, the 10 Gulden to satisfy your earnest request for now. Your thesis 1) is worth more than 10 Hungarian florins to me. May The Almighty support your beginning! O my Joachim, my son Joachim, how much I would be with you! The messenger will show you my heart. Farewell! I can not and will not you write more now. Your brother 2) has put himself in trouble, but to which you seem to be quite indifferent.

2. 19 June 1543 ( to Arnstadt )

Grace and Peace of Christ our Savior, I wish you and all of yours, Doctor and my dear son! First of all I will not deny to you that I have been twice to Schalkau ; the first time, when your brother received the parish, and now for the second time, when he moved there with his whole family. May the Almighty GOD bless his beginning! But how do you like this fact, let me know by letter, my Doctor! For out of your Brother's words, I realized that you're not quite agreeable with it. But this is certainly true that, when the parish gained your brother as its pastor, I was so pleased that I was moved to flow with steams of tears. How did the plague happened to us, I will tell you, when I am come to you. I want Brother-in-law Wolfgang as a companion. But by foot I can not come, a horse I do not have, and with business it is not possible. As for your sister Katherine, know that, on Wednesday after midnight, in the same hour as your Anna, my dear granddaughter, had in the night before, that is, on Tuesday ( as your letter reports ), fell asleep in the Christ in the presence of us parents and the family. How I felt there, you can imagine yourself. That distinguished aristocrat Nicholas von Heßberg has proven to be very impressed with your benevolence, as he has expressed personally to me. How is your mother doing, you’ll hear from our Wolfgang. May the Almighty GOD bring her 3 ) and her two daughters-in-law or better daughters in grace a safe delivery for His praise and for the propagation of Christianity and of the family of the, blissfully and gently resting in the Christ, Hugo Mörlin! "I think that the Mörlin clan will not wither away. It would be too damaged, because ( Thank God forever ) they [ are ] too healthy." 4 ) Farewell! Greetings to you and all of your Mother, Sisters and the whole family . . .

3. 24 January 1546 ( To Göttingen )

Grace and Peace of the Christ, whose blessing be with your new mother, my dear daughter, and with the grandson and the whole family, my best son and Reverend Doctor! The paper of Dr. Luther, which I have forwarded in accordance with the Brother regarding the Doctorate 5 ), may do him good. He will do so on the advice of the others, who are smarter than I am. In the past year, he has had to depend upon mine, his father’s, advice, [ and ] celebrated his wedding for the second time 6 ), but, from from the letters you had sent to him, I have seen that I had advised him badly. I hoped that your Reverence had graced the wedding with your presence. But, deceived in my hope, I myself thought that, if you had been invited to the wedding of a relative, you would have willingly gathered yourself a single piece of gold and endowed it on the bride and groom, like your Brother, yet you still preferred to wait for a whole year. What is this meanness, not to say this greed, in you, My Lord? On the top of that, it has made me a little upset that your Brother had to pay the messenger. Such unseemly behavior does not become a Doctor of Theology and even less for such a wonderful Bishop, who knows exactly how the chosen Armor of St. Paul makes a Bishop. 7 ) This admonishment, my son, take it as fatherly and friendly [ advice ]! With us, everything is healthy, but everything is also quite expensive. With strong and good wine, the LORD has blessed me. Mother, Brother and Sisters are well, thank GOD. The Mother gave birth on 13 July to a son, who is named after my dear late father Hugo. It is in the childbed the wife of Maximilian has had a daughter Apollonia. So our family increased to the Glory of the Almighty GOD. As for me, it is just bad. Because since Easter I have been in bed three times and in such a way that everyone said unanimously that I was out of it, and was sure in several places [ = times ] that I was already dead. May the Almighty GOD bless me with His Father’s favor and calls me, if it seems good to Him, from this evil world with a good and happy “little hour” [ Stündlein = death ]. What you write about the Duchess 8 ), I do not like. I fear that she limps with her son 9 ) with both legs. 10 ) She wants to serve the Christ and Belial. 11 ) They say, they are weighted with the Gospel, but they resent the Brunswicker oppression and imprisonment. 12 )

If I were like you, I would give them passages from the Gospel to keep in mind - Matthew 10, Verse 37 : “Whosoever loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me”. Likewise, Matthew 16, Verse 24 ; Mark 8, Verse 34 ; Luke 14, Verse 26, etc. You may handle them as you wish, as it befits a true Servant of the Word! As for the partridges, I have nothing at hand. I have been to the [ partridge ] house in this year only five times.

On 26 January, your Mother and I were invited by your Brother, but, because of the flooding, we could not go to the first church service of his wife in Coburg. There are greetings in my and your Mother’s name to all of you, your wife, children, Wolfgang and the whole family, especially the Administrator Simon, “with my bülhin”.

4. 13 July 1546 ( to Göttingen )

Grace and Peace from GOD the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to you and yours, my dear son and Doctor! There is nothing more than what I would rather have, that you would be provided by us with a superintendent or any other position worthy of you, especially since I see that you are reluctant to tarry among the Saxons, perhaps because of the coarseness of the food and the greed of the people. Oh, how I wish that you still had that position in Arnstadt! 13 ) The whole city, indeed the whole area, is waiting for you with such longing! But enough of it! As for my situation, so everything is in order, except that I am very often plagued by [ a kidney ] stone. And that we are floating in the greatest dangers because of the chaos of war in your and other nations. May the Almighty GOD turn them to good and destroy with His powerful arm all enemies of the Gospel! That this may be done, let us pray steadfastly through our unremitting and pious prayers! As for my position, as you were told by our dear brother-in-law Wolfgang, GOD will lead you back to health. So farewell, my son, and keep me fondly as your Father in the flesh, as you tend! Greetings to you and all of yours, Mother, Brother and Sisters . . .

5. 3 July 1548 ( to Göttingen )

. . . I have received your letter in which you comfort me, your father, s you can, as would a pious son with his father. For you know my innate timidity, so I need your much needed consolation from you and your brother. The Almighty GOD will send me, you and the brother, as well as all ministers of the Word His Holy Spirit, this true Comforter, Who consoles us in this very dangerous time, and shows us His Grace, so that we may prove to remain steadfast in the Confession of his Word. Because there is nothing in the whole world, that would be exposed to greater and heavier dangers than the pulpit of the preacher and the ministry of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as I see from your letter : May the LORD be with you as He had been with the divine Peter and Paul, as He was in the Acts of the Apostles! Know also, my son, that the LORD has blessed me with His abundant blessings on June 1 with a son . . .

6. 18. March 1549 ( to Göttingen )

, , , I have received from you two letters, in which you wish to report at first, that the delivery of your wife has gone bad. How much that has pained me, I can not express to you by mail. I fear that those dangerous times have caused the event. But again, I am comforted by Luther’s and Bugenhagen's writings on the 29th Psalm about unbaptized children. How it has pleased the LORD, whose will shall be done and has been done. Know also that I have endured great pain for the whole Advent season, because of the [ kidney ] stone and other diseases. I have taken only a little bit of food to me the potion gets me. I see furthermore, my son, that you are very worried about your father . . . Because you want to know what secret I hold, if I want to stand firm in the pure and fair teaching of the Gospel. 14 ) I, although a very timid and pusillanimous man, have decided and asked with other ministers of the Word of the Superintendent, who replied that I would not fall off the pure and true doctrine of the Gospel . . . You pray for me, your aged father who is now in his 60th year, to the LORD that He would send me His Holy Spirit, which will make bold and brave to withstand all dangers for the sake of the Gospel. I can not and do not know no more to write. Because I do not read "because the Teutonic kathenfftlin". . . 15 )

7. 1 October 1549 ( to Göttingen )

. . . There is nothing I wanted more now than I ever have to have you with us . . . I was recently in Coburg with Maximilian, who treated me most honorably and had invited several highly respected men to honor me, and most magnificently and brilliantly hosted them. From what I hear from Master Simon and others, I believe that you will not remain long in Göttingen. 16 ) The LORD do it with you, as it will be good and healthy for you and yours and the Church of Christ. The LORD is the Earth and its bounty. 17 ) If they persecute you in this city, flee to another! 18 ) Show yourself only as a brave soldier of Christ! . . . I am no longer on the side of Wittenberg. It seems to me that they are flattering the Emperor, especially Bugenhagen. But you stand firm in the faith, be manly and be strong in the LORD! 19 ) How do I feel, as you would say, “my buolhin”. . .

He had 12 sons altogether. Except for Joachim und Maximilian who were born in Wittenberg, we know of only the one born in Westhausen, Stephan, who was Deacon from 1554 to 1561 in Coburg, then Pastor in Hildburghausen and died on 10 June 1604, and of a Georg, who was a schoolmaster in Westhausen in 1582.

14) Joachim Mörlin seems to have added to his father that, as he himself did, he had to protest the Interim and also to condemn every flexibility in the Mitteldingen [ “neutrality” ] ( in rebus adiaphoris [ Latin, “in the matters of indifference” ] ).

Early life
Mörlin was born at Wittenberg, where his father, Jodok Mörlin, also known as Jodocus Morlinus, was the Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wittenberg. Joachim himself studied at the same University under Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, Justus Jonas, and Casper Cruciger the Elder from 1532 to 1536. After a brief residence at Coburg, he returned to Wittenberg and in 1539 became Luther's chaplain, declining a call to succeed Poliander at Königsberg. While a true pupil of Luther, Mörlin was more influenced by the dogmatics of Melanchthon, though devoid of sympathy with the Philippistic efforts for union with the Reformed.

On September 22, 1540, Joachim left Wittenberg to become superintendent at Arnstadt, where, until deposed in March 1543 for his rigid discipline and opposition to union, he displayed great activity, moral earnestness, and courage. But neither the appeal of his congregation nor the sympathy of Luther could overcome the hostility of the Count of Schwartzburg, Günther XL.

On May 10, 1544, Mörlin became superintendent at Göttingen. Here he was equally firm in insistence on purity of life and doctrine, and wrote his Enchiridion catecheticum (1544), taught rhetoric in the Latin school, and lectured on Erasmus and the Loci of Melanchthon. Mörlin's activity in Göttingen came to an end with his uncompromising resistance to the union advocated by the Interim. On January 17, 1550, after vain protests by both council and congregation to the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Eric II, Mörlin was dismissed from office.

Mörlin went to Erfurt, thence to Arnstadt, and finally to Schleusingen, where he lived and preached in the castle of William IV, the Count of Henneberg. Yet even here Mörlin was not altogether safe, and on August 25, 1550, he left Schleusingen, arriving at Königsberg on September 13. There, since Prussia did not belong constitutionally to the Holy Roman Empire, he could not be molested, and was appointed, on September 27, 1550, pastor at the Kneiphöfer Dom and inspector.

Controversy with Osiander
There Mörlin became involved in the Osiandrian controversy, for it was not in his nature to remain neutral. However, the break between Mörlin and Osiander was gradual. When the latter defended his view of justification (act. 24, 1550), Mörlin remained a silent witness; but Osiander's work with on the incarnation and the image of God, and still more his Bericht und Trostschrift, with its savage attack on Melanchthon, led Mörlin to complain on February 7, 1551, to Albert of Prussia, though he did this so delicately that the duke commissioned him and Aurifaber, Osiander's son-in-law, to assemble the theologians for the conference which was held February 13-17. Here Mörlin's sincere desire for peace was evident, but his suspicion of Osiander increased, even though the latter claimed to be in harmony with Luther, denying the truth of Mörlin's Antilogia seu contraria doctrina inter Lutherum et Osiandrum. On April 19 Mörlin preached against those who depreciated the merits of Christ, and Osiander rightly took this as directed against himself.

The breach was now complete, and after an interchange of recriminations, Mörlin was replaced by Stancarus, professor of Hebrew. Before a new colloquy could be held, however, the duke directed (May 8) first Osiander and then his opponents to present their views in writing. Osiander hesitated, and Mörlin attacked him from the pulpit (May 27). The duke now forced Mörlin to defend his tenets in writing, and further roused him and his followers to passionate resistance by appointing Osiander to administer the bishopric of Samland, and by requiring Mörlin and others to submit to the decision of the church. The characteristic reply (July 21) was that Mörlin and his adherents refused to recognize Osiander's jurisdiction, since he was a heretic, and they appealed to a free synod. Osiander's opponents now continued their attacks and virtually met up a separate church. This was forbidden by the duke (August 12), who sent them Osiander's confession of faith, which was returned unread.

The polemics still continued, and Albert in despair sent Osiander's confession to the princes and cities of Germany, urging a synod. Mörlin's position was gaining strength in Prussia, and the majority of the opinions of the churches outside Prussia were also favorable to him. The very refusal of the duke to publish these condemnations of Osiander aided Mörlin, who, on May 23, 1552, published a polemic defending the doctrine of justification against his opponent, in which he clearly set forth the orthodox Wittenberg position, and emphasized the difference between it and Osiander's teaching. Besides continuing to urge the publication of the opinions just mentioned, Mörlin preached a sermon (June, 1552) directed against Osiander, deprecating speculations on the inscrutable essence of God; and Osiander replied with his impassioned Schmeckbier, in which he arraigned Mörlin and his friends.

The controversy increased in pettiness and coarseness, until Albert threatened (July 15, 1552) to depose Mörlin, only to receive the respectful but firm reply that Mörlin held it his divinely commissioned duty to polemize against Osiander. Meanwhile, a second opinion came from Württemberg, and from it both Osiander and Mörlin claimed the support of Johann Brenz, but on October 17, 1552, the weary struggle found its end in the death of Osiander, a defeated man.

Driven from Königsberg
The peace-loving policy of Albert was still to demonstrate its futility. The ambiguity of the Württemberg declaration seemed to him to constitute a good formula of union, and on January 24, 1553, he required that sermons on justification should be preached according to the six Württemberg articles, and that all coarseness should be avoided. This was tantamount to a defense of Osiandrianism, but the great majority of the duke's subjects were opposed, while Mörlin declared himself unable to obey the ducal mandate when contrary to the obligations of religion. This was the only course open to him, but the duke's displeasure was now finally incurred, and on February 16, 1553, he presented his resignation. Three days later he sought refuge in Danzig, where he awaited an expected recall, supported as he was by the council and the citizens. But all appeals to the duke were in vain; and the exile at last resigned himself to his punishment and sought for a new field of activity.
Mörlin had not long to wait. Brunswick and Lübeck were rivals for his services; the former won by right of priority, and he entered Brunswick on July 25, 1553. In the following year he received an assistant in the Melanchthonian Martin Chemnitz, and developed a powerful activity, strengthening the Lutheran cause with the aid of the religious peace of Augsburg, and preparing, in 1577, his Leges pro ministerio Brunsvicensi, which all the clergy of his superintendency were required to subscribe when entering upon office. He assailed the Reformed as bitterly as the Roman Catholics.

Again, in 1564, the council of Brunswick enacted that the Corpus doctrinae should be subscribed by all theologians, a rule which remained in force until 1672. And this was no dead letter, for in 1566 Johannes Becker, a pastor in Brunswick who had subscribed to the Corpus but become a Calvinist, was forced to resign and ultimately was banished from the city.

Meanwhile, Mörlin and Chemnitz were active in other inter-Lutheran controversies and in warding off Calvinistic attacks; and the former was the prime mover in the rejection, by the Brunswick clergy, of the doctrines of Schwenckfeld, besides being one of those asked by the council of Bremen to settle the dispute between Johann Timann and Albert Hardenberg. He furthermore defended Hesshusen in his pamphlet Wider die Landlügen der heidelbergischen Theologen (1565).

Efforts for Theological Reconciliation
In the struggle with Calvinism Mörlin supported Joachim Westphal, and to this end wrote his Confessio fidei de eucharistiae sacramento ministrorum ecclesiarum Saxonicarum (Magdeburg, 1557). At Coswik he sought to mediate between Melanchthon and Flacius, and in his eagerness for peace, when the delegates of the Hanseatic League assembled at Brunswick, he held a conference with Chemnitz, Westphal, and others (January 14, 1557), and reached an agreement on articles tending to reconcile the adiaphorists and those holding to the true Gospel. Mörlin then took these articles to Flacius at Magdeburg, after which he conferred with Melanchthon at Wittenberg, but returned to Brunswick unsuccessful (January 28, 1557).

Eight months later Mörlin went to the Colloquy of Worms, but by his opposition to the Philippists and by his withdrawal helped render the conference resultless. In December, 1558, he visited Weimar and Jena to reconcile Flacius and Strigel, and in 1560 he signed the petition of the Jena theologians to the princes to call a Lutheran synod to combat Calvinism. Mörlin was also a prominent figure at the conference of theologians from Lower Saxony held at Lüneburg in July, 1561, and wrote the confession of faith there drawn up, Erklärung aus Gottes Wort und kurzer Bericht der Artikel, etc. (Magdeburg, Jena, and Regensburg, 1561), which became binding on all pastors in Brunswick; and he again showed his Wittenberg orthodoxy in his Verantwortung der Präfation so für die lüneburgischen Artikel (1562).

In 1563 the Council of Wesel asked the opinion of the Brunswick theologians for a ruling on the admission of Reformed refugees from England, and the decision was that the immigrants should be received and instructed; but, should they propagate their erroneous views, they should be expelled.
In 1566 and 1567 Mörlin found himself compelled to break with his old friend Flacius because of the latter's teaching on original sin; and at the same time he wrote against the Antinomians his Tres disputationes de tertio usu legis.
Recalled to Königsberg
Meanwhile, inspired partly by him, the struggle had continued in Prussia between the Melanchthonians and the Osiandrian peace-policy of the court. Well informed of all that went on in Königsberg, Mörlin strengthened his sympathisers with his Historia welcher Gestalt sich die osiandrische Schwärmerei im Lande zu Preussen erhoben (Brunswick, 1554). In 1555 he published two other pamphlets on the course of events in Prussia; and finally Albert found himself obliged to yield.

On November 30, 1566, Mörlin was invited to return to Prussia, but he declined to leave Brunswick. The invitation was repeated, however (January 31, 1567), and after much persuasion Mörlin accepted and obtained leave of absence from the reluctant Council of Brunswick. On April 9, 1567, he and Chemnitz were joyfully welcomed in Königsberg, and at once began the restoration of Melanchthonian orthodoxy.

After much consideration it was decided that the confessional bases should remain the Augsburg Confession, the Apology, and the Schmalkald Articles, the only change being the correction of certain false doctrines which had crept in since the formulation of the Augsburg Confession. The duke, assenting to the rejection of Osiandrianism, readily agreed, and on May 6 Mörlin and Chemnitz gave him their Repetitio corporis doctrinae Christianae, refuting Osiandrianism, Synergism, Antinomianism, Majorism, and similar teachings. Accepted by the synod and the estates, the Repetitio was proclaimed by Albert on July 8, 1567, and Prussia was at last free from theological rancor.

Becomes Bishop of Samland
Though offered the bishopric of Samland, and though urged by clergy and laity alike to remain in Prussia, Mörlin still felt bound to Brunswick. Accordingly, promised by the estates (June 8, 1567) that no Calvinists should be allowed at court, he returned to Brunswick. But his stay there was brief, and he was unexpectedly released. Learning that a patricide had been let go free, both he and Chemmtz sharply upbraided the magistracy in a sermon on July 13, and were cited to appear before the court. Under these circumstances the envoys of Albert succeeded in inducing the council, unwilling though it was even then, to let Mörlin go (September 24, 1567). He was now declared bishop of Samland, while Chemnitz was made superintendent. Henceforth until his death, in his new office, Mörlin was active in preaching and catechizing, never ceasing to polemize against Philippists, Synergists, and, above all, Calvinists. He died, aged 57, in Königsberg.

Additions:
Meanwhile Doctor Joachim Mörlin had arrived on 13 Sep at Königsberg [Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad, Russia]. He was born in Wittenberg [Wittenberg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany] where his father, Jodocus Mörlin, was Professor of Metaphysis and afterwards Pastor of Welschhausen, 2 Meillen of Coburg. Joachim first moved to Marpurg and Cosenitz and in his 18th year to Wittenberg, since he heard Lutherum. - and also made him doctor in 1540, and in just the year after Arnstadt called a preacher. The count aber enturlaubee him from 1543 - The year thereafter he was appointed the magistrate of Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany] to inspect their churches, he preached the 18th January and took the 10th May to his office. But as he preached in sharp contrast to the interim in 1548, and a guarantor was thereby initiated the imperial mandate. And to break in half and throw you into a nasty place; so sent the Duke. He had learned from the downfall of the sons that he had brought him from the city of Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany], and that he had also come to him by some reporters posted on the paths and passages, not Duke Erich Mutter, Princess Elisabeth, by their tutor, Jobst von Hohnstein, and He sent 14 Reuters to Oldendorf in search of him, from where he moved to Schleusingen. Thought Prince Elisabeth recommended him to her daughter and Hertzog Albrecht in Prussia, who voted him to the Superintendent in Holland. So Mörlin came to Königsberg with M. Francise Maartihuesen, past preacher to St. Johannis in Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany], and as Hertzog preached to him, he pleased him so much that he kept him in Königsberg and made him preacher of the cathedral church in Kneiphoffe He made the point Peter Hegemon had to dismiss him, and at the little church in the Löbenicht, he had to take on the position of parish priest, as well as improving his salary.

The episcopal teaching of the superintendent using the example of Joachim Mörlins

Among the common prejudices, which are usually passed unchecked, these include : "In the Protestant Church there is no teaching office" or:

"In the Protestant church, every pastor is his own pope."

The opposite of the infallible Magisterium, which claimed the Roman Catholic Church for the Papal Office, should be described with it. Undoubtedly, these prejudices are underpinned by the fact that the ruler of teaching pluralism evidently teaches every pastor something else. But: Did the Lutheran church really never have a teaching post?

The main concern of the Reformation was the proclamation of the Word of God. Because what was written in the Holy Scriptures was scarcely known to the common man in the pre-Reformation period, but was now clearly proclaimed, it was gladly expressed by saying that "the light of the Gospel has been returned to the light." brought " . From the beginning, however, there was the danger that this bright light would be darkened again by other teaching theologians - such as Karlstadt, Münzer, Zwingli, Calvin and others - who appeared alongside the Lutheran Reformation. The fruits of their work have broken Protestantism to this day. In view of this, there is often a demand for a binding teaching office. The more the question comes up:Did the Lutheran church really never have a teaching post?

If the Confessio Augustana teaches in Article 28 that it is the divine right of the bishops to "preach the gospel, forgive sin, judge doctrine, reject the doctrine contrary to the gospel, and the ungodly Godless Being is evidently excluded from the Christian community without human power alone through the Word of God "- this means that the Magisterium belongs to the bishops.

That there should be bishops, the reformers have often pronounced. But they rejected the mixing of spiritual and temporal power in the hands of the bishops, as it existed in the medieval Occident. The episcopate had become a secular ruling office. As a result, the bishops no longer fulfilled their spiritual duties, but had them performed, at best, by representatives. The Lutheran confessors thus clearly emphasized in Augsburg, in 1530, the distinction between spiritual and secular regiment: "For this reason our people have been compelled, to the consolation of conscience, to indicate the difference between spiritual and secular power, the sword and regiment."

Accordingly, the Smalcald Articles (1538) state: "If the bishops were to be right bishops and accept the church and the gospel, one would want to do so for the sake of love and unity, but not out of necessity us and our preachers ordained and confirmed ... But since they are not right bishops or do not want to be, but secular lords and princes who neither preach nor teach, baptize, communicate, nor do any work or office of the church but those who call, persecute, and condemn even those who profess such ministry, let the church not remain without servants for their sake. "

This is the background against which the installation of the superintendents of the Lutheran Church can be seen. This had to be done because, on the one hand, the bishops who were then in office refused to be ordained candidates for Lutheran parish candidates, and on the other because a bishop's office was considered necessary. The title of "Superattendent" chosen for the new office - in the beginning it was said instead of "Superintendent" - was nothing but the Latinized form of the Greek episkopos (bishop). That's why z. Luther, for example, sometimes referred to his former conventual brother Johann Lang (Reformer and senior clergyman Erfurt) as both a "superattendent" and a "bishop," although Lang did not officially bear such a title at the time. As a "bishop" Luther also addressed others who had a corresponding office - in his letters between 1522 and 1546 about 250 times! So he also called Joachim Mörlin after his appointment as Superintendent of Göttingen as"faithful Bishop of the Göttingen Church" .

Luther saw in the superintendents not only the right-wing bishops, but could, with regard to the bearers of such an office, quite innocently of the "successio apostolica" , d. H. speak of the chain of vocations leading from the apostles to the bishops. So he wrote in the great Galatas commentary:"So there is a double divine vocation, one immediate and one immediate: God calls us all to the vocation of the Word today through mediate vocation, ie, through a vocation that is done by men, but the apostles are directly called by Christ, like the The prophets in the Old Testament of God Himself. The apostles later called their disciples, as Paul did Timothy, Titus, etc. - they then called the bishops, as Titus 1 is read, the bishops have called their successors to our days And so it will go on to the end of the world, that is the mediate vocation, because it is through man, and yet it is divine. " From this point of view of Luther, it was not the succesio but the jurisdictionof the medieval bishops, which was extinguished with the installation of superintendents by the reformers.

At the Augsburg Reichstag in 1530, people wanted to clear the way for a re-recognition of the episcopal jurisdiction under the conditions of evangelical preaching and a sacrament administration that did not contradict the Gospel. A re-recognition of the bishops within the framework of the present constitution of the Church and the Reich was possible if theologically clear distinction were made between their office as spiritual leaders of their dioceses (bishops in the true sense), and their office as princes.

When in 1544 the cathedral chapter of the bishopric of Kamin approached Bugenhagen to take over the episcopate there, "for his high doctrine, virtue, incorruptible life, and change, that he has true and undecayed witness to all the Christian churches," he declined , As a reason for this rejection, he stated that "the episcopal government must take two loads at the time of this time ." The first and most important is the spiritual one, namely "teaching, visiting, supervising preachers, cultivating and maintaining right-wing consistories". The other "burden" is the secular government. For the former, God gave him "a good deal of mercy"but he does not feel adept at secular government. He would be "too much deducted from the books and his exercises in the studio and prayer through this worldly burden" . The amalgamation of spiritual and secular regiment proved thus also with possible new appointments of vacant episcopal seats as obstacle for the preservation of the traditional episcopate. So then had to build up train by train replacement structures necessarily.

In today's ecumenical discussion, many complain that in the time of the Reformation the "apostolic succession" of the bishops had been demolished. But this is an issue that was completely unknown to the Latin Middle Ages and even to the Reformers. It was not touched on any side. The accusation against the Reformers was not aimed at the superintendents not being in the "apostolic succession," but exercising their office without papal confirmation.

The office of the superintendent was set up in 1528, initially for the Saxon Kurfüstentum with Luther's writing "teaching the visitators". In it there is the chapter "By decree of the superattender ." About him the following was determined:"This pastor should be superattendent and have diligent attention to all the other priests who sit in the ministry or precinct of the place, that in the respective parishes taught right and Christian and preached the word of God and the holy gospel pure and faithful, and the people are blessed with the holy sacraments after the institution of Christ, that they also lead a good life so that the common people receive better and no nuisance, and not against God's word or anything that would be of service to rebellion against the authorities; preach or teach. "

In the same year Bugenhagens church order for the city of Brunswick appeared. In this Bugenhagen ordered under the heading "From the superattendent and his helper" not only the office of superintendent, but also the deputy of the Kodadjutors (helper). He thus established the two offices that have since co-existed in Braunschweig. Bugenhagen wrote in:"First and foremost, we must and want to have a superattendent, that is, an overseer to whom, with his adjutant, the whole cause of all the preachers and the school, as much as it concerns doctrine and unity, is prescribed by the honorable council and the church As there are the treasure chest gentlemen, commanded to supervise what one teaches, and how, etc. That is very necessary, for by the favor of God we want to have harmonious sermons for the word of God throughout the city, as well as from God Grace has begun and is in vogue. " So worked in Braunschweig z. B. next to the superintendent Joachim Mörlin as coadjutor of 8 years younger Martin Chemnitz, before this 1567 took over the office of the superintendent itself.

In the two cited writings reference is also made to Luther's work "From secular authority" and ordered the relationship of spiritual and secular regiment. According to the doctrine of the two kingdoms, both are clearly distinguished and the combination of both, as it was associated with the conventional episcopate, is abolished. The secular regiment rules "by the sword," while the spiritual regiment alone is given the word. Both should work together in mutual respect for their functions.

There was, of course, a potential for conflict here, which in the following years was to be felt in many problem cases, especially when a secular authority opposed the spiritual regiment. The curriculum vitae of Joachim Mörlins offers clear examples of this, especially with regard to his first superintendent office in Arnstadt.

Joachim Mörlin had been after the study of theology "Kaplan" in Wittenberg at the local parish church. In 1540 he was promoted to the post of doctor of the office of superintendent of Arnstadt. The fact that he received this vocation at the age of twenty-six was not unusual at the time, for there was a shortage of spiritual leaders in modern times, as more and more cities and territories joined the Reformation.

Mörlin was very enthusiastic about the Arnstadt Superintendent Office. He proclaimed the gospel vividly and clearly. His sermons attest to the pastoral endeavor of a life of the faithful entrusted to him by the Word of God. Repeatedly, for example, he commented on questions of holy matrimony, giving very specific instructions.

The obligation to watch over the teaching meant for him not only a theoretical watch over correct teachings. Because he was concerned with the practical implementation of the pure doctrine of the Word of God, both in the life of the individual Christian and in the life of the community, he found it necessary to scourge even the unchristian behavior of the urban regiment. In this he was so consistent that it had to come to open conflict with the not too pious Arnstadt authority. Under the chairmanship of Gothaer superintendent Friedrich Myconius, who was much older and more experienced in his office, a synod of all ordained persons was held. This adopted the so-called "simple foolishness and advice on how to act without frivolity with such persons who have fallen into public vices" . Thereafter, such a person should be exhorted to pray with pleadings and requests. If this does not help, the pastor should visit and warn the person with two witnesses. If the person persists in his "stubborn sense and heart," the pastor and the two witnesses should report to the superintendent. After another consultation with other "communicable brothers" should be the ban.

This "simple misgiving ..." was submitted to Luther for comment. He replied with a letter from his own hand in which he expressly approved the manner of this procedure. He wrote : "I like these rules of procedure because they agree with the establishment of the key office (Matthew 18)."

However, Mörlins public opinion against the city authorities had the consequence that the city council quit him without further ado. To this has probably also contributed that the manner of his appearance was a bit premature due to his youth and inexperience, because the words of Myconius point out: "Mr. D. Joachim is certainly a learned, pious and good man" , but sometimes something " to be fast . At the same time, Myconius emphasized that the watchman's office had never unfairly served Mörlin; it could "no one say that he has violently punished him, but only what prevents to eternal life ...".Mörlin was generally regarded as a conscientious, scholarly, and highly respected theologian, and he was rightly held to respect his attitude towards the city council of Arnstadt. Later there was a reconciliation between Mörlin and the Arnstadt. But he did not return there because he now held the post of superintendent in Göttingen.

But even on his next two stages of life Mörlin had to resist secular authority. His person is a living counter-proof against the assertion that Lutherans have always been overly obtuse. Since the superintendents had no temporal authority in their office and exercised their spiritual regiment only with the word, it seemed obvious that some authorities who were unwilling to bow to the word of the spiritual regiment misused their temporal power over them. Conflicts of the relationship between the spiritual regiment of the superintendent and the secular regiment of the authorities were there again and again elsewhere. Mörlin himself therefore wrote an opinion, which was quoted again and again in the following years, on the question of how far such a magistrate was entitled,

The appointment as Superintendent of Göttingen he received at the end of 1543 by the Calenberg Duchess Elisabeth. This had after the death of her husband, the Duke Erich I., held the regency of the Duchy of Brunswick-Calenberg in the guardianship of her son Erich II. She was a daughter of the Elector Joachim I of Brandenburg and an avid and devout patron of the Lutheran Reformation. Mörlin had a generous patron in her. That's why the first time he worked in Göttingen was trouble-free. Similar to Arnstadt, he met the duties of his spiritual profession in Göttingen conscientiously - to the great satisfaction of Elisabeth.

But when Erich II, who had a very Lutheran upbringing, had come of age and had taken over the reign himself, he turned away from his mother and broke away from dependence on her. Since he now placed himself ecclesiastically and politically in the shadow of his cousin Heinrich the Younger of Wolfenbüttel, the consequences for the Reformation ordered church system in the Principality of Calenberg were catastrophic. The Augsburg interim adopted on May 15, 1548, demanded from the Protestant estates the return to the old faith or submission to the interim. Erich II enforced this for his principality with all decisiveness. Thus Mörlin again had to oppose the secular authority. He did so with determination, especially from the pulpit. Thus ended his Göttingen work as a superintendent, because under pressure from Erich II, the Council decided in January 1550 Mörlins dismissal. Duchess Elizabeth helped him to escape, so that he the arrest and long-standing imprisonment, the z. Antonius Corvin suffered, escaped.

The next life station Mörlins was Königsberg. After a short stay in Schleusingen (county Henneberg) he arrived there in September 1550. He was warmly received by Duke Albrecht of Prussia. Actually, he should first receive the Superintendent position of Prussian-Holland. But the Duke found so much favor with him, that he appointed him immediately as inspector and pastor at the "Kneiphofschen" Dom in Königsberg. This resulted in a direct proximity to Andreas Osiander, the Duke Albrecht of Prussia in 1549 had transferred the Old Town Parish and a professorship at the University of Königsberg.

But soon the Osiander dispute broke out here. In a disputation, Osiander put forward opinions on justification that differed greatly from the general view: our righteousness, Osiander said, can not consist in the atonement of Christ, but must refer to the Christ who lives in us; H. to the divine nature communicated to us through the appropriation of the gospel. Osiander had intended to express in his own way certain aspects of Luther's theology that had otherwise been obscured, but he blended the Reformation ideas with speculations derived from Kabbalah and mysticism. The most fundamental concern of the Lutheran doctrine of justification was thereby falsified. Mörlin resisted this and also took position in the pulpit.

Duke Albrecht, however, was completely under the influence of Osiander. He pursued his opponents with great severity and also his originally so friendly attitude to Mörlin opposite defeated. As soon as he received news of his sermon, he had not only a pulpit ban for him, but also his immediate expulsion from the Duchy of Prussia. So Mörlin had to leave Königsberg in February 1553 and was even forced to leave behind his sick wife, who then later succeeded him to Brunswick.

He immediately received the appointment to the superintendent's office in Braunschweig. Here he was able to do a blessed service from 1553 to 1567, together with his co-major Martin Chemnitz, whom he had met in Königsberg. The Brunswick church historian Johannes Best (+ 1928) wrote about this work of Mörlin in Braunschweig:"Such iron, belligerent theologians were very uncomfortable in those times, when they fought to the death not only for patriotic goals, but also for religious, although the princes, who eagerly sought the ecclesiastical direction, but to the people as fearless independent military leaders in the fight of faith just right.The orthodoxy was then in the free city of Braunschweig also popular because it was the opposite of all adulation upwards of men who used everything for their conviction, they were happy to influence.

Thus, in Braunschweig under Mörlin's direction, a high flowering of religious and ecclesiastical life developed. Mörlin showed himself to be a burning light, which consumed itself in the service of the house of God, as a man full of holy spirit, great as a speaker, greater still as a religious-Christian character. His change was like lightning, so his words were like thunder sound. Full of enthusiasm for the preservation of the pure, blessing doctrine, keen and strict in the discipline of the Church, he was again lovable towards those who recognized their guilt and sought to improve. For those who, notwithstanding all sincere admonitions, had been to the Last Supper in two years, the clergy under his direction refused the Christian burial so as not to partake of their sins, rather, to publicly testify to their unwillingness to avoid making pious, obedient Christians and stubborn unbelievers for the same number of eighth and thus making the holy Christian religion an unnecessary thing. Thus, this strict discipline testifies to the highest love, as even the most affectionate parents tend to be the strictest to their children. "

Joachim Mörlin did his apprenticeship in the true sense of the word, working together with his co-tutor Martin Chemnitz to develop a confessional book ("Corpus doctrinae") for the Church of the City of Brunswick, in which the teaching principles were laid down in a binding manner. The clerics of the city had to sign as a teaching commitment "VI Leges pro ministerio Brunsvicensi" .

In community with other cities of Lower Saxony, a book of confessions has been developed, which is to be regarded as a forerunner of the - later with considerable participation of Martin Chemniz worked out - book of concord of 1580. The intention was to reach agreement on the basis of the Augsburg Confession, its apology and the Schmalkaldic article within northern German Lutheranism. Together with the superintendents of the cities of Lüneburg, Hamburg and Lübeck Mörlin had already 1557 eight articles "on the comparison between the adiaphorists and the true Evangelii confessors"wrote in Wittenberg for a reconciliation between Flacians and Melanchthonians. At the Lüneburg Convention in July 1561, the theologians, seconded by the cities of Lübeck, Bremen, Hamburg, Rostock, Magdeburg, Lüneburg, Wismar, and Brunswick, agreed on a "declaration" written by Mörlin on the corpus doctrinae, binding on all, on the condemnation of false doctrines (Osiandrism, Majorism, Sacrosis and Adiaphorism) and the jurisdiction claimed by the Pope on the occasion of the renewed invitation of the Protestants to the Council of Trent.

Within the city of Brunswick, there were hardly any occasions for Mörlin to argue with the secular authorities. The council - as well as the people - valued and honored him as a superintendent and he respected the members of the council as "his masters".

Meanwhile, the ecclesiastical relationship in Prussia was very low. Osiander had already died in 1552, but there were fierce arguments with his friends and students, which resulted in a decline of church life. Therefore, the Prussian Estates demanded the recall of Mörlin 13 years previously expelled to Königsberg and his appointment as Bishop of Samland, especially as Duke Albrecht now realized that he had done Mörlin injustice. In Konigsberg it was known that Mörlin in Braunschweig, in spite of the severe insults experienced in Königsberg in his sermons for "the old gray head in Prussia"had ordered to pray. The decrepit Duke was now moving to write to him himself. He desired to return him to Chemnitz under brilliant conditions. After some negotiations it was agreed that Joachim Mörlin returned to Königsberg as Bishop of Samland, while Martin Chemnitz remained as Mörlins successor in the office of the city superintendent in Brunswick.

Since 1525 Georg von Polentz had been Bishop of Samland. Although he had probably never studied theology, he became the reformer of East Prussia, supported by Lutheran theologians such as Johannes Brießmann, Paul Speratus and Johann Poliander (Gramann). Thus, it would have been possible to have a Lutheran bishop seat in continuity with the old church. But after his death (1550) Duke Albrecht of Prussia furnished against the opposition of the clergy and the nobility of his favored Andreas Osiander with the title of president of the Samland bishopric. With the appointment of Mörlin, the episcopal constitution was restored.

Mörlin remained four years of restless activity as Bishop of Samland. The confessional book Corpus Doctrinae Prutenicum, whose origins were due to him, served as the basis for his teaching, and he undertook a number of visitation journeys, in which he ordered the ecclesiastical conditions in his diocese.The consistorial constitution introduced by Duke Albrecht was abolished again So that Mörlin, as Bishop of Samland, was truly episcopal in those last years of life, his health was now so weakened that on May 29, 1571, he died as a result of a failed bladder operation.

Later, however, the consistorial constitution prevailed in general and the Magisterium went largely to the consistories - perhaps a first step that the Magisterium of the superintendent was pushed back. Today, the office of the superintendent in the state churches appears in some places only as an administrative function, as a subordinate link between church authorities and communities.

Maximilian Mörlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maximilian Mörlin ( 14 October 1516, Wittenberg, Electorate of Saxony - 20 April 1584, Coburg, Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach ) was a Lutheran theologian, court preacher, Superintendent in Coburg, and Reformer.

Life
Maximilian grew up with his older brother, Joachim Mörlin, as the sons of Jodok Mörlin ( Jodocus Morlinus, ca. 1490 - 1550 ), the Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wittenberg. After a harsh upbringing, when he learned the trade of a tailor, he switched to the profession of a scholar. Like his brother, he studied at Wittenberg in 1533 and came under the influence of Martin Luther and especially Philipp Melanchthon. From 1539, he was the pastor in Pegau and Zeitz and, after 1543, in Schalkau. On the recommendation of his teacher, he came to Coburg in 1544 as a court preacher ( Hofprediger ) and visited the city’s churches and schools on the behalf of the Duke of Saxony.

After Maximilian graduated in 1546 under Caspar Cruciger the Elder at Wittenberg to the rank of Doctor, he was appointed as a Superintendent. In the theological debates of the times, he was at first on the side of Matthias Flacius. He pursued the condemnation of Justus Menius, participated in the Colloquy of Worms in 1557 and wrote with and Johann Stössel the Weimarer Konfutationsbuch [ the Weimarer Book of Refutations ], which was mandatory for the Lutheran churches throughout Thuringia. The Duke of Saxony, John Frederick the Middle, also took him to Heidelberg to prevent his father-in-law, Frederick III the Pious, the Elector Palatinate of the Rhine, from going over to the Reformed side. The Heidelberger Abendmahlsgespräch [ Heidelberger Discussion of the Lord’s Supper ], with which Mörlin was involved on 3 and 4 July 1560, remained unsuccessful.

However, from the side of the Radicals, Flacius struck, distancing Mörlin from the Philippists. He fought against Andreas Osiander and helped in 1556 to enforce the Reformation to the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach on the behalf of its ruler, Charles II. As the Spiritual Assessor for the Consistory of Weimar, he pleaded in 1561 for peace with the terms of the mediating theologian Melanchthon. In Jena, he served in 1564 as the Pro-Chancellor and Vice-Dean in the first program for theological doctorates and upgraded Stössel’s academic degree from Magister to Doctor.

The next Duke of Saxony, John William, himself the supporter of Flacius, expelled Mörlin from the Duchy in 1569. A year later, Mörlin was appointed to Dillenburg and later Siegen, where he represented his side against the Reformed tendencies of the ruler, the Count of Nassau-Dillenburg, John VI, but without success. In 1573, he returned from Siegen to Coburg, where he was restored to his old offices. He dismissed the Gnesio-Lutherans and used his influence to add to the Formula Concordiae [ Formula of Concord ] and to contend with its effects.

Mörlin gained importance as a preacher and the representative of church administrators.

In 1581, he married for the second time. He was survived by twelve sons.

Notes:

Joachim Mörlin suffered in the last years of his life on the stone. His attending physician did not want to cut "the even too fat God of the Prussians". A second finally understood the operation, which was without result (2 Jan. 1571). Mörlin's strong nature succumbed only to months of illness and healing. On May 29, 1571 died "the Flacian idol". The dying man is said to have desired his friend Heßhusius as his successor. From his will (Acta Borussica Tom., I, 597) it can be seen that eight of ten of his twelve children survived eight: Joachim, Christian, Jerome, Daniel, Anna, Jeremiah, Maria, Maximilian. The "poor" Anna was probably sickly and bedridden. Hieronymus Mörlin was appointed by the father one of the executors. He was a pastor, gave out his father's Psalter sermon, and afterwards had a conflict with Heßhusius.

But I did some additional searching and came up with a part of a book concerning the Medenau church from Neue preußische Provinzial-Blätter, Volume 7.  The translation of which follows:

In 1521 Andreas Schütz was pastor. In his day, the Reformation movement already surged in the country. Gallus, who had been in office since 1578 and who signed the formula for marriage the following year, is not (according to Muller's most recent works: the symbolic books) Nico, but Georg and Magister. The son of Bishop Mörlin, who succeeded him in 1580, was not Jerome but Jeremiah. The latter stood as a pastor in the Löbenicht, and later went to Tilse, after he had in part fanned the dispute abstracto et concreto. This, the older brother, died in 1607 in Medenau. Medenau, December 8, 1848. Gebauer.

Buchdruck im Konfessionellen Zeitalter: Die Drucke der Offizin Osterberger ...article on Hieronymus Mörlin.  It is as follows:
HIERONYMUS MÖRLIN (1545-1602)
Hieronymus Mörlin, born in Göttingen, is the son of the Samland bishop Joachim Mörlin, who was revered in Prussia long after his death. When his father returned to Konigsberg in 1568, Jerome also followed him. On August 22, 1569, he was inscribed in the matriculation of the Albertine. In the same year, his father appointed him as pastor of the Löbenicht Church. After his death, Mörlin devoted himself to the publication of a collection of sermons that his father had already prepared. It is a total of 118 sermons on the Psalms of David. The first volume appeared in 1576 at Osterberger. Heshusen and Wigand showed their respect for Mörlin by contributing a preface. This volume is dedicated to Duke Albrecht Friedrich. The dedication of the second volume is addressed to the mayors and councilors of the city of Braunschweig, as their superintendent Mörlin held the sermons in the years 1553-1568. Finally, the third volume, financed by the bookseller Christoph Hoffmann, is dedicated to the council and the mayors of the city of Grisdend.
Scarcely less extensive was the Postilla or summary memory of the Sonnteglichen year Gospels and Catechismi, another collection of sermons of his father, the Heironymus Mörlin issued in 1587 in Erfurt, this time with the participation of the publisher Jakob Comforter
As a pastor of the Löbernichts Jerome Mörlin was also one of the signatories of Wigands Christian Memories of the Bekentnus of the theologians in Meissen of Abendmal and stated that he belonged just like his father to the followers of Orthodox Lutheranism. When shortly after the abstract dispute broke out, Mörlin also participated as an opponent of Heshusen. In the dispute with him as his bishop, he left Königsberg and 1577 archpriest in Tilsit.

Additions:
Meanwhile Doctor Joachim Mörlin had arrived on 13 Sep at Königsberg [Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad, Russia]. He was born in Wittenberg [Wittenberg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany] where his father, Jodocus Mörlin, was Professor of Metaphysis and afterwards Pastor of Welschhausen, 2 Meillen of Coburg. Joachim first moved to Marpurg and Cosenitz and in his 18th year to Wittenberg, since he heard Lutherum. - and also made him doctor in 1540, and in just the year after Arnstadt called a preacher. The count aber enturlaubee him from 1543 - The year thereafter he was appointed the magistrate of Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany] to inspect their churches, he preached the 18th January and took the 10th May to his office. But as he preached in sharp contrast to the interim in 1548, and a guarantor was thereby initiated the imperial mandate. And to break in half and throw you into a nasty place; so sent the Duke. He had learned from the downfall of the sons that he had brought him from the city of Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany], and that he had also come to him by some reporters posted on the paths and passages, not Duke Erich Mutter, Princess Elisabeth, by their tutor, Jobst von Hohnstein, and He sent 14 Reuters to Oldendorf in search of him, from where he moved to Schleusingen. Thought Prince Elisabeth recommended him to her daughter and Hertzog Albrecht in Prussia, who voted him to the Superintendent in Holland. So Mörlin came to Königsberg with M. Francise Maartihuesen, past preacher to St. Johannis in Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany], and as Hertzog preached to him, he pleased him so much that he kept him in Königsberg and made him preacher of the cathedral church in Kneiphoffe He made the point Peter Hegemon had to dismiss him, and at the little church in the Löbenicht, he had to take on the position of parish priest, as well as improving his salary.

Notes:

Joachim Mörlin suffered in the last years of his life on the stone. His attending physician did not want to cut "the even too fat God of the Prussians". A second finally understood the operation, which was without result (2 Jan. 1571). Mörlin's strong nature succumbed only to months of illness and healing. On May 29, 1571 died "the Flacian idol". The dying man is said to have desired his friend Heßhusius as his successor. From his will (Acta Borussica Tom., I, 597) it can be seen that eight of ten of his twelve children survived eight: Joachim, Christian, Jerome, Daniel, Anna, Jeremiah, Maria, Maximilian. The "poor" Anna was probably sickly and bedridden. Hieronymus Mörlin was appointed by the father one of the executors. He was a pastor, gave out his father's Psalter sermon, and afterwards had a conflict with Heßhusius.

Anna (the third one) was disabled and required care. She was taken care of in Joachim's will.

Two other children were born dead and two of the Annas died young.

13. Joachim was born on 17 July 1559 and died on 13 May 1590. (P: Johann Otto, Secretarius)

From Rosl Reuter:

I discovered a "Joachim Mörlin from Coburg" who started a school career in Pforta on the 24.10.1573. At that time, one of the most well-founded schools in Protestant-German-speaking countries was prepared in preparation for the university in this princely school. Only very gifted boys were allowed to attend this school-free (!). Presumably, this Joachim is identical to the 1559 born Johann. A school start in Pforta at the age of 14 years could just fit. Otherwise only a son born before 1555 would be considered. But at least a 19-year-old would have visited the university. How much hope may the father have associated with these boys! But these do not seem to have been fulfilled. In contrast to other students, the Pforta educational institution did not write down anything about his future life in a later commemorative publication - so he did not gain any importance, nor did he become a pastor.

Notes:

From Wilbur Kalb

Very good. I myself wasn’t able to find the funeral sermons of Joachim Mörlin and Helena Langer online but I did find out that a Rev. Michael Mörlin ( 1641 - 1708 ) has an article in the Lithuanian Wikipedia and several academic essays because, although he was a Lutheran Pastor from Germany, he was so interested in the Lithuanian language that he wrote two books about it in 1705 and 1706. They were both in Latin but the subjects - “Is it Necessary to Reform the Lithuanian Language?” and “The Principal Primer About the Lithuanian Language” - are enough to immortalize him in the history books about the Lithuanian language.

His Wikipedia article is available in only one language, Lithuanian, but I didn’t need Google Translate to know that “Mykolas Merlinas” was born on the wrong side of the Electorate of Saxony in Olbersleben, a town 11.65 miles ( 18.76 km ) north of Weimar and 63.5 miles ( 102 km ) northeast of Coburg, and studied at the Universities of Leipzig, Jena and Königsberg, and posted to Kauen ( Kaunas in Lithuanian, 1666 - 1667 ), Tilsit and Wischwill ( Tilžė and Viešvilė, 1667 - 1670 ), Insterburg ( Įsrutys, 1670 - 1672 ), and finally Gumbinnen ( Gumbinė, 1672 - 1708 ), where he died. These placenames are in German. In English, they are known, respectively, as Kovno ( before 1990, Kaunas after 1990 ), Sovetsk, Viešvilė, Chernyakhovsk, and Gusev. Kaunas is, of course, in Lithuania, along with Viešvilė, but the others are obviously in Russia as the towns of the Kaliningrad Oblast, formerly the easternmost district of East Prussia.

While a funeral sermon does survive for Michael ( published in Königsberg ), his parents are not named by his Wikipedia article. But I found the complete and faithful German transcription of his Leichenpredigt in a Lithuanian essay online and it does name his parents AND grandparents AND great-grandparents.

Michael married Naps, Anna in 1695 in Gusev, Kaliningrad, Russia. Anna was born in UNKNOWN in Chernyakhovsk, Kaliningrad, Russia; died in DECEASED. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I found this information about the Montanus family in a 1897 book.  This family had several letters preserved in the library and archives of the Gotha Gymnasium ( Gothae Gymnasialbibliothek ) so it was in a paper that was presented by the Oberlehrer [ Headteacher ] Dr Max [ Maximilian Carl ] Schneider ( 1858 – 1920, lifelong resident of Gotha ) on 9 April 1897 as the main part of the program for the festivities at the Ducal Gymnasium Ernestium in Gotha.  The title is “Die Gelehrtenbriefe der Gothae Gymnasialbibliothek aus dem XVI. und XVII. Jahrhundert [ The Letters of the Scholars at the Library of the Gotha Gymnasium from the 16th and 17th Centuries ]”.  I did look for Michael Buchenröder, the Mörlins and the Thomæs but I didn’t find any of them in the paper.  However, I did find “Sebaldus Krugk” of Coburg.   From page 16 :

Montanus, Johannes Erhartus, Magister, Pastor of Heldburg.  1 Letter :  Folio VI, Nr 112 ( 1604 ).
[ Born 1558 in Hildburghausen as son of the Archdeacon, was 1582 – 1587 Deacon at St Margaretha’s Church in Gotha, 1588 – 1592 Pastor of Waltershausen, then Superintendent of Heldburg, + 23 July 1605.  He was the brother of the Conrector of Madgeburg, Ehrhartus Am Bergk ( see above ) and the father of Magister Frid. Wigand. Montanus ( see following ).  Sources :  Brückner, Vol. I, pp. 9, 85 ; Vol. III, pp. 1, 364 ; Vol. III, pp. 13, 146.  Gelbke, Vol. II, p. 47, 364.  Beck, Vol. III, pp. 2, 354.  Krauss, Beiträge, Vol. I, p. 155 ff. ]
Montanus, Fridericus Wigandus, of Heldburg in Franconia.  2 Letters :  Folio VII, Nr 61 ( 1612 sine loco = Latin, “no place” ).  Folio VII, Nr 62 ( 1612, Gissae Hessorum = Latin, Giessen, Hesse ).
[ He was a son of the preceding and 1617 – 1635 Pastor of Gleichenberg and Lindau bei Römhild, + soon after 1635 in Hildburghausen.  Sources :  Brückner, Vol. I, pp. 9, 85.  Krauss, Beiträge, Vol. I, p. 156.  Wetzel, p. 96. ]

Of course, you already know about Johann Werner Krauss’s two books and Johann Christian Thomae’s Licht am Abend was one of the sources.  But you may not be familiar with the works of
Beck, Briegleb, Brückner, Gelbke, Ludwig and Wetzel so here they are, in full :

Brückner = Rev. Johann Georg Brückner ( 1701 – 1771, Evangelical theologian and Court Preacher for the Dukes of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg — Friedrich III and Ernst II ), Sammlung verschiedener Nachrichten zu einer Beschreibung des Kirchen- und Schulenstaates im Herzogthum Gotha, 3 Bände [ Collection of Various Items For A Description of the Church and School States in the Duchy of Gotha.  3 Volumes. ] ( Gotha, 1753 – 1763 )

Gelbke = Johann Heinrich Gelbke ( 1746 – 1822, historian who died in Gotha, tutor of Hereditary Prince Ernst of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, the future Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Ernst I  ), Kirchen und Schulenverfassung des Herzogthum Gotha [ State of the Churches and Schools of the Duchy of Gotha ], Volumes I and II, Parts 1 and 2 ( Gotha, 1790 – 1799 )

Ludwig = Godofredi Ludovici ( Gottfried Ludwig, 1670 – 1724, Professor of Theology and Logic at the Casimirianum ), Ehre des Hochfürstlichen Casimiriani Academici in Coburg, oder, Desselben vollständige Historie aus allgemeinen und besondern Nachrichten : nebst einem perspectivischen Auf-Riss und geometrischen Grund-Riss.  2 Teile. [ Honor of the Students of the Great Princely Casimirianum in Coburg, or, the Same Complete History from General and Special Sources :  Along With a Perspective Profile and a Geometric Floor Plan.  2 Parts. ] ( Coburg, 1725 and 1729 )

Wetzel = Rev. Johann Kaspar Wetzel ( 1691 – 1755, Evangelical theologian, hymnist, songwriter ), Kurzgefasste Kirch- und Schul- wie auch Brand-Historie der Stadt Römhild, vom Anfange der Hennebergischen Reformation bis auf gegenwärtige Zeit, zum Druck gegeben u. s. w.

Notes:

Hello Jim,

I took from his funeral sermon that he arrived in Regensburg with his family on October 8, 1641.
I assume that this is correct, because in August 1641 he already held two trial sermons in Regensburg.
Two months later he stayed there until the end of his life.

I received the following information from the Greiz State Archives:

„M. Andreas Steiner was quite obviously pastor in Zeulenroda for only about 1 year. There are no parish records for Zeulenroda from this period. He succeeded M. Daniel Müller,
who went to Greiz as archdeacon in September 1640. Probably at the end of October or beginning of November 1640 he began his work in Zeulenroda. In August 1641 he already
held 2 trial sermons in Regensburg at the request of the Regensburg city council and then probably went to Regensburg in the fall of 1641.“

Bernd

There is one source that claims that Andreas had a second wife, Rosina Bernhardina Emhard. However this is disproved and an identical marriage to another Steiner; with children being born with identical names some 200 years to the day apart. Addition in Andreas Steiner’s funeral sermon Elisabetha is referred to as his widow.

In total they had nine children, but by the time of Andreas’s death three daughters were no longer alive

Wrote “time of plague a book which can be useful in the circumstances”, Trinarium sacrum, 1622; found in Pf. - Biblical Schleiz No 1504.

According to the parish records of St. Andreas, Eisleben the marriage date is 09 Nov 1617.

The Möschlitz church registers (Schleiz church district) have been filmed and can already be viewed in digital form in our reading room. But they cannot yet be seen online in the church register portal www.archion.de.
However, our film adaptations (and thus also the digitized versions) of Möschlitz only begin around 1677. Unfortunately, we are not aware of any older books from around 1623 to 1640.

Notes:

From Chip Kalb is the explanation for the Occupation of Georg which was given as fraenk. marckgrefl. Pfar- und Pfrindtverwalther in Hof

“Fraenk. marckgrefl. Pfar- und Pfrindtverwalther in Hof” is the windy way to say that Georg Steiner was the assistant pastor from the North Court of the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.

“Pfrindt” is an old German word for “sinecure”, meaning that, because Steiner was just an assistant pastor, he was on half-pay while the senior pastor was on full pay.  “Fraenk. marckgrefl.” is an old abbreviation for fränkische markgräfliche, meaning that Rev. Steiner’s boss was the Margrave of Franconia.  Since 1398, it had been the traditional title of the Princes of Bayreuth, who controlled Franconia, and held by the Margraves of Brandenburg, who were already margraves by 1398.  The Principality had two administrative towns for the Oberland and the Unterland.  One of them was Hof, which was responsible for the Oberland, the northern highlands, including Bayreuth and the Saale River.  As you’ll see from the following map, the Oberland of the Principality was one of the neighbors of Saxe-Coburg.

Notes:

I had my friend Wilbur Kalb take a look at the Georg baptismal record.  He was appalled at the handwriting, the Latin, the German and the bad abbreviations.  This is what he came up with:

The Old German transcription :
November 29

The English translation :

Achatius Heher JD Council and District Officer of the 4 Districts, Heldburg, Eisfeld, Königs
berg [ in Franken before 1920, in Bayern after 1920 ] & Veilsdorf [ in the District of Hildburghausen ], Count Palatine [ Pfalzgraf ].

Additional Wilbur provided this information on Georg Achatius Heher:

He was baptized as Georg Achatig Buchenröder but his middle name was switched to Achatius because it was the Latinized surname of his only godparent, Georg Achatz Heher, JD ( 1601 – 1667 ), the German jurist, diplomat and administrator from Nuremberg.  When Michael’s son was born, Herr Heher had been living and working in Heldburg as the Oberamtmann [ senior bailiff ] of four districts, including Heldburg and Eisfeld, since 1648, when he was appointed by Ernst I, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha.  Herr Heher is famous enough to have his biography in the German Wikipedia ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Achatz_Heher ) but, since it is not available in English, here is my English translation :

Georg Achatz Heher ( also Achatius ; born 30 December 1601 in Nuremberg; † 22 May 1667 in Rudolstadt ) was a German lawyer, diplomat and chancellor.

Heher was a son of the lawyer and diplomat Georg Heher.  He first grew up with his grandfather [ Hülsin ] in Altdorf near Nuremberg.  From 1616 to 1620 he attended the University of Altdorf, then followed his father to Vienna, who represented the Evangelical cities of the Swabian Circle there.  There he came into contact with diplomacy.  After returning to the University of Jena, he returned to Altdorf in 1623.  In Altdorf he finally received his doctorate in law.

Heher settled in Nuremberg in 1624 as a lawyer.  In 1625 he was sent to Vienna.  There he received an audience with Emperor Ferdinand II on 25 August 1635.  Other embassies followed.  In 1629 he came to [ the Free Imperial City of ] Speyer and then toured Switzerland, France and Italy.  At the same time, he completed a career as a courtier.  In 1628 he became an assessor at the Lower Court in Nuremberg and a consultant in Altmühl, then in 1630 a Municipal Court consultant in Nuremberg.

In 1632, Heher accepted an appointment as Hofrat [ Court Councilor ] in [ the Prince-Bishopric of ] Würzburg, but in 1633 he went to Regensburg as Vice Chancellor and Director of the War Chancellery.  After the Swedish defeat, he was able to return to Nuremberg in 1636, where he again hired himself out as a consultant, with the German Order as one of his clients.

Heher was appointed government councilor of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha in 1640, but was initially able to remain in Nuremberg despite this obligation.  Like his father, he became an imperial Pfalzgraf [ Count Palatine ].  The honor was given in 1644 by Emperor Ferdinand III.  As early as the next year he was sent to Münster and Osnabrück to negotiate the Peace of Westphalia.  He represented the Duchies of Saxe-Gotha and Saxe-Weimar as well as the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg.  For his services, Duke Ernst of Saxe-Gotha appointed him Oberamtmann [ senior bailiff ] of the towns of Königsberg, Heldburg, Eisfeld and also of Veilsdorf in 1648.  Thereupon Heher left Nuremberg and moved to Heldburg.  In 1652, Duke Wilhelm von Saxe-Weimar accepted him into the Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft [ Fruit-bearing Society ] as “Der Mitteilende [ The Communicator ]”.

Heher continued to take over embassies.  From 1649 to 1650 he represented the duchies at the Friedensexekutionskongress [ Peace of Westphalia Congress ] in Nuremberg, later he was envoy at the negotiations of the Reichstag in Regensburg for the Jüngste Reichsabschied [ Last Closing Ceremony of the Reichstag ].  From 1659 until his death he was finally Chancellor of [ the County of ] Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.  For this he moved to Rudolstadt.
