Could someone translate this for me?

1. I don’t have time to make an exact translation right now. In short:

   History of the Augsburg Confession. Ordered by Friedrich (the other?) Duke of sachsen-gotha. From original documents and written by Ernst Solomon Cyprian. Printed by Johan Andreas Reyher 1730.

   This might be worth something. Try to not touch the pages with your bare hands. Use cotton gloves.

   Edit: here about the Augsburg Confession: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augsburg_Confession

2. “Historia der Augspurgischen Confession,
   auf gnädigsten Befehl Des Durchlauchtigsten Fürsten und Herrn,
   Herrn Friedrichs des Andern,
   Hertzogens zu Sachsen-Gotha
   Aus dem Original Acten beschrieben von Ernst Salomon Cyprian, D.
   Consistorial-Rath zum Friedenstein
   Am Ende ist die ungeänderte Augsburgische Confession, nebst nützlichen Beylagen zu finden.
   Drucks und verlegts Johann Andreas Reyher
   F.G.Hof, Buchdrucker. 1730.”

   English:

3. “Dear lord, what font would you like in your own personal confession?”

   “Yes”
