Anunpleasant difference separated Luther also fromhis early friend and colleague. Dr. Jerome latter, while always a zealous friend of Luthersdoctrine, retained at the same time a profound re-spect for the Canonical Law, which Luther treatedwith contempt. In 1529 this led to a disagreementon the subject of secret betrothals. Schurf alsotaught that it is unlawful for pastors to marry after Erlangen, 26 : i sqq. 2 Details with references in Koestlins Luther s Theology (Englishtranslation), ii., 185 sqq.

FROM ENGRAVING IN KREUSSLER S ANDENKEN IN MUNZEN. 1545] Diet of Ratisbon 343 the death of a first wife, and that one so doing dis-qualified himself for the performance of any minis-terial act. Against this view Luther protested andwrote. Some years later, Kling, a colleague ofSchurf, and known to be in sympathy with him,raised the question of the legitimacy of the childrenborn of such marriages. Another difficulty thejurists raised was as to the validity of sacramentsadministered by those not ordained by bishops inthe regular external succession. Schurf would notcommune at Wittenberg, but sought the LordsSupper from evangelical clergymen with whose atti-tude towards the succession he was satisfied. In1537 there were sharp conflicts between them. Twoyears later Luther took the matter into the pulpitand preached against the jurists. Relief
