  • Notes 
    • Joachim Mörlin suffered in the last years of his life on the stone. His attending physician did not want to cut "the even too fat God of the Prussians". A second finally understood the operation, which was without result (2 Jan. 1571). Mörlin's strong nature succumbed only to months of illness and healing. On May 29, 1571 died "the Flacian idol". The dying man is said to have desired his friend Heßhusius as his successor. From his will (Acta Borussica Tom., I, 597) it can be seen that eight of ten of his twelve children survived eight: Joachim, Christian, Jerome, Daniel, Anna, Jeremiah, Maria, Maximilian. The "poor" Anna was probably sickly and bedridden. Hieronymus Mörlin was appointed by the father one of the executors. He was a pastor, gave out his father's Psalter sermon, and afterwards had a conflict with Heßhusius.

      Additions:
      Meanwhile Doctor Joachim Mörlin had arrived on 13 Sep at Königsberg [Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad, Russia]. He was born in Wittenberg [Wittenberg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany] where his father, Jodocus Mörlin, was Professor of Metaphysis and afterwards Pastor of Welschhausen, 2 Meillen of Coburg. Joachim first moved to Marpurg and Cosenitz and in his 18th year to Wittenberg, since he heard Lutherum. - and also made him doctor in 1540, and in just the year after Arnstadt called a preacher. The count aber enturlaubee him from 1543 - The year thereafter he was appointed the magistrate of Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany] to inspect their churches, he preached the 18th January and took the 10th May to his office. But as he preached in sharp contrast to the interim in 1548, and a guarantor was thereby initiated the imperial mandate. And to break in half and throw you into a nasty place; so sent the Duke. He had learned from the downfall of the sons that he had brought him from the city of Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany], and that he had also come to him by some reporters posted on the paths and passages, not Duke Erich Mutter, Princess Elisabeth, by their tutor, Jobst von Hohnstein, and He sent 14 Reuters to Oldendorf in search of him, from where he moved to Schleusingen. Thought Prince Elisabeth recommended him to her daughter and Hertzog Albrecht in Prussia, who voted him to the Superintendent in Holland. So Mörlin came to Königsberg with M. Francise Maartihuesen, past preacher to St. Johannis in Göttingen [Göttingen, Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany], and as Hertzog preached to him, he pleased him so much that he kept him in Königsberg and made him preacher of the cathedral church in Kneiphoffe He made the point Peter Hegemon had to dismiss him, and at the little church in the Löbenicht, he had to take on the position of parish priest, as well as improving his salary.
