  Philipp Melancthon - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon
Melancthon composed for the Reichstag of Augsburg (1530) the Augsburg Confession (confessio Augustana) in which he aimed to prove that the Protestants, in spite of the innovations, still belonged to the Catholic Church and had a right to remain in her fold.
From the age of 30 to that of 50, Melancthon was at the height of his career as spokesman and advocate of the Reformation, which, as had formerly been the case in Hesse and Prussia, was introduced under his guidance into Wurtemberg, Brandenburg, and Saxony.
Melancthon put an end to grammatical torture and the "Doctrinale" of Alexander de Villa Dei; grammar exercises were appended to the texts.

With Melancthon, himself a humanist, as an intermediary, a secret correspondence was opened with Hutten, and to all appearances Sickingen was directly or indirectly in frequent communication.
Assisted by Melancthon, Spalatin, and others whose services he found of use, with the Greek version of Erasmus as a basis, with notes and comments charged with polemical animus and woodcuts of an offensively vulgar character supplied by Cranach, and sold for a trivial sum, it was issued at Wittenberg in September.
Melancthon's famous Greek letter to his bosom friend Camerarius, 16 June, 1525 on the subject, reflected his personal feelings, which no doubt were shared by most of the bridegroom's sincere friends.

 The Great Controversy: Chapter 20. The Reformation
Luther was a great help to Melancthon when he was in danger of being fearful and slow, and Melancthon was also a great help to Luther to keep him from moving too fast.
Melancthon's far-seeing cautiousness often averted trouble which would have come upon the cause, if the work had been left alone to Luther; and the work would often have failed in being pushed forward, if it had been left to Melancthon alone.
Some, for the glory of his name, were permitted to seal the testimony they had borne with their blood; but there were other powerful men, like Luther and Melancthon, who could best glorify God by living and crying aloud against the sins of popes, priests and kings.

Melancthon, who was at Augsburg with him along with the princes, agreed with Luther on this course of action.
This, though not perfect in Melancthon’s eyes, was acceptable since the desire of the Protestants was to have Charles hear their confession that they had been working upon for days.

 Men From the South | TIME
The New South was a heartbroken half-wilderness in which dogs "had become as pagan as wolves, tearing down stock in the open field"; in which anarchic marauders of both races assaulted Mel-ancthon's home and had their heads blown off or were hanged in too-cold blood.
The New South was also Melancthon's riding with the Klan, or, retching, watching the castration of a Negro.
It was Storekeeper Casper Fleming, who used Melancthon as a war-haloed decoy to swindle poor whites out of their land in a railroad hoax.

In the spring of 1536 Landgrave Philip of Hesse-founder of the University of Marburg and champion of the Protestant Reformation-requested the counsel of several leading German theologians as to whether or not Anabaptists captured in his territories should be subjected to the death penalty.
In the broader history of the Reformation, Philip Melancthon is almost always described as an irenic person-a moderating influence on the more impassioned and impulsive rhetoric of his co-worker Martin Luther.
Although Luther and Melancthon both took pains to argue that no one should be executed for wrong belief, they quite readily called on the civil government to execute those who threatened the social and political stability of the state.
