[1] See Veesenmeyer's article on Bünderlin in _N. lit. Anzeiger_ for August 1807, P. 535.
[2] The details of his life here given have been gathered mainly from the excellent monograph on _Johannes Bünderlin_ by Dr. Alexander Nicoladoni. (Berlin, 1893.)
[3] This incident is given in Dr. Carl Hagen's _Deutschlands literarischt und religiöse Verhältnisse im Reformalionszeitalter_, 1868, iii. p. 310.

(2) _Aus was Ursach sich Gott in die nyder gelassen und in Christo vermenschet ist_, etc., 1529. ("For what cause God has descended here below and has become incarnate in Christ.")
(3) _Erklärung durch Vergleichung der biblischen Geschrift, doss der Wassertauf sammt andern äusserlichen Gebräuchen in der apostolischen Kirchen geubet, on Gottes Befelch und Zeugniss der Geschrift, von etlichen dieser Zeit wider efert wird_, etc., 1530. ("Declaration by comparison of the Biblical Writings that Baptism with Water, together with other External Customs practised in the Apostolic Church, have been reinstated by some at this time without the Command of God or the Witness of the Scriptures.")
These three books can be found bound in one volume, with writings of Denck and others, in the Königliche Bibliothek in Dresden. There is also a copy of his third book in Utrecht. Besides using the books themselves I have also used the monograph by Nicoladoni and the study of Bünderlin in Hagen, _op. cit._ iii. pp. 295-310.
[5] This idea is reproduced and greatly expanded in the writings of the famous Silesian Mystic, Jacob Boehme.

[18] This "Babel-habit of constructing theological systems" is constantly referred to by Jacob Boehme, as we shall see. I believe that Boehme had read both Bünderlin and Entfelder.
