An plague ravages in Erfurt. The mentioned Lutheran theologian Andreas Osiander died of the same disease in Königsberg.

Text originalOriginal text

Auch regierte in diesem iahr (1552) die Pestilentz abermal in Erffurdt. Andreas Osiander, der ein lesterlich bekentnis contra verbum Incarnatum hatt lassen ausgehen ist greuwlich dahin gestorben ohn bekentniß, ohn zeichen der bekehrung sine verbis.

Also, in this year (1552), the pestilence again prevailed in Erfurt. Andreas Osiander, who had issued a scandalous confession against the Incarnate Word, died terribly without confession, without any sign of conversion, wordlessly.
