"I gave this daughter very willingly to our God. After the flesh, I
would indeed have wished to keep her longer with me; but since he has
taken her hence, I thank him."
The night before Magdalen Luther died, her mother had a dream, in which
she saw two men clothed in fair raiment, beautiful and young, come and
lead her daughter away to her bridal. When, on the next morning, Philip
Melancthon came into the cloister, and asked her how her daughter was,
she told him her dream.
