A French visitor finds Melancthon in prayerful study while rocking a child and delivering a tender sermon on fatherhood and grace. He warns that disputes will arise over the Trinity as Scripture urges reverence of Jesus Christ and avoids futile curiosity about his nature. Erasmus, Luther, and Carl hoffadius are cited in a wry contrast of words and deeds.
The bishop defends pure gospel doctrines and upholds moral religion as distinct from mere morality.
