 On 14 April 1521, a ‘Letter of the 12 Apostles and 72 Disciples’ was posted up in the town, addressed to the Lutheran/Humanist reformer Johann Sylvanus Egranus, who had crossed swords with Müntzer and Storch on several occasions already.Egranus was described now as the “desecrator and slanderer of God ... who hounds God’s servant ... a heretical rogue”.The letter was almost certainly the work of Storch's group, but it defended both Storch and Müntzer jointly.
