By persuasion of Charles V
Answer
Bucer was persuaded to sign the Augsburg Interim under duress. He was threatened with imprisonment and torture, and his life and the lives of his friends and family were in danger. He was also pressured by his fellow reformers, who believed that signing the Interim was the best way to protect the church from persecution. Bucer eventually signed the Interim, but he did so reluctantly and with a heavy heart.
