This tract was a cry for justice against those who had assassinated the evangelical Pastor George Winkler at Halle. Luther attributed the deed to the pastor's defense of communion in both kinds, and regarded the church authorities at Mainz as responsible. His letter encouraged the evangelicals at Halle to be proud of their pastor's steadfastness, and urged them to remain faithful to the gospel.
The Gruber Collection was assembled by L. Franklin Gruber, President of Chicago Lutheran Theological Seminary, Maywood, Illinois.
