[Footnote 1110: Beza, _ubi supra_. An engraving of the period,
reproduced by Montfaucon, affords a pleasant view of the quaint scene.]

Thou, iii. 65.]

[Footnote 1113: The speeches of Charles and L'Hospital seem to have been
delivered before the introduction of Beza; cf. Hist. eccles. des eglises
ref., i. 316. Prof. Baum, following La Place, 157, and De Thou, iii.
65-67, represents them as having been delivered subsequently. Theodor
Beza, ii. 238.]

I have alluded to the fact, first noticed by Prof. Soldan, that De Thou
and others have placed here a speech which was in reality delivered five
or six weeks earlier; while not only they, but also the accurate La
Place and the author of the Histoire eccles. des egl. ref., have done
the same by the king's speech, and a rejoinder of Tournon to
L'Hospital's address.]

[Footnote 1116: This interesting incident Prof. Baum discovered in a
fragmentary MS. in the remarkable collection of the late Col. Tronchin.
Theodor Beza, ii. 238. The text is thus given in the Bulletin xiii.
(1864) 284: "M. de Besze, entrant dans la conference de Poissy avec un
ministre de Geneve, un cardinal dit: _Voici les chiens de Geneve!_ M. de
Besze, l'ayant entendu, repondit: _Il est bien necessaire que, dans la
bergerie du Seigneur, il y ait des chiens pour abboyer contre les
loups._"]
[Footnote 1117: "Es sind auch die Cardinael, diewyl er geredt, mit
entdektem Houpt gestunden, und beede mal, diewyl sy gebaetet, hat sich
die alte Kuenigin niderglassen und mit gebaetet, der Kuenig aber ist bliben
still sitzen." Letter of Haller to Bullinger, Berne, Sept. 23, 1561,

[Footnote 1119: La Place, 159; Hist. eccles. des egl. ref. i. 316. The
current, but erroneous belief, that this confession was first composed
by Theodore Beza at the Colloquy of Poissy, has already been noticed. It
had been printed, as we have seen (_ante_, c. viii. p. 343), in the
Geneva Liturgy as early as in 1542; and earlier still in that of
Strasbourg. It was already the favorite of martyrs and confessors. Jean
Vernou, in 1515, recited it at the _estrapade_. "Verum a
