| 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.
But I did some additional searching and came up with a part of a book concerning the Medenau church from Neue preußische Provinzial-Blätter, Volume 7. The translation of which follows:
In 1521 Andreas Schütz was pastor. In his day, the Reformation movement already surged in the country. Gallus, who had been in office since 1578 and who signed the formula for marriage the following year, is not (according to Muller's most recent works: the symbolic books) Nico, but Georg and Magister. The son of Bishop Mörlin, who succeeded him in 1580, was not Jerome but Jeremiah. The latter stood as a pastor in the Löbenicht, and later went to Tilse, after he had in part fanned the dispute abstracto et concreto. This, the older brother, died in 1607 in Medenau. Medenau, December 8, 1848. Gebauer.

HIERONYMUS MÖRLIN (1545-1602)
Hieronymus Mörlin, born in Göttingen, is the son of the Samland bishop Joachim Mörlin, who was revered in Prussia long after his death. When his father returned to Konigsberg in 1568, Jerome also followed him. On August 22, 1569, he was inscribed in the matriculation of the Albertine. In the same year, his father appointed him as pastor of the Löbenicht Church. After his death, Mörlin devoted himself to the publication of a collection of sermons that his father had already prepared. It is a total of 118 sermons on the Psalms of David. The first volume appeared in 1576 at Osterberger. Heshusen and Wigand showed their respect for Mörlin by contributing a preface. This volume is dedicated to Duke Albrecht Friedrich. The dedication of the second volume is addressed to the mayors and councilors of the city of Braunschweig, as their superintendent Mörlin held the sermons in the years 1553-1568. Finally, the third volume, financed by the bookseller Christoph Hoffmann, is dedicated to the council and the mayors of the city of Grisdend.
Scarcely less extensive was the Postilla or summary memory of the Sonnteglichen year Gospels and Catechismi, another collection of sermons of his father, the Heironymus Mörlin issued in 1587 in Erfurt, this time with the participation of the publisher Jakob Comforter
As a pastor of the Löbernichts Jerome Mörlin was also one of the signatories of Wigands Christian Memories of the Bekentnus of the theologians in Meissen of Abendmal and stated that he belonged just like his father to the followers of Orthodox Lutheranism. When shortly after the abstract dispute broke out, Mörlin also participated as an opponent of Heshusen. In the dispute with him as his bishop, he left Königsberg and 1577 archpriest in Tilsit.
