Donald, you were right about it being English, and about the timing!!! It was indeed written shortly after Luther's death - 8 years to be exact. Amazing guess! Everyone, keep guessing before someone else gets it right first! :) I will be posting the answer on Tuesday, July 21. (The family here is not guessing because I told them the answer when I first read the letter before I knew how this post would turn out.)

Its a timely post seeing we have recently been studying the impact and importance of confronting sin in the church as Christ commanded in Matthew 18. Oh that we, as the body of Christ, would have the love for one another to confront sin and error in our midst. What an example before us in the letter above! After hearing a couple people today reference the Godly life of Jonathan Edwards, I'm going to guess it was him. Thank you Michael for posting this letter.

It seems to have been written some time ago but more recently than Martin Luther. Hardwing sounds English so I'll guess John Knox???
