[Footnote 1128: The response of the queen is concisely given by La
Place, the Hist. eccles. des egl. ref., the Actes de Poissy, and De Thou
(_ubi supra_); but the graphic account upon which the text is based is
found in the letter of Haller to Bullinger, Sept. 25, 1561, which Prof.
Baum discovered at Zurich, and has published in the volume of documents
which figures as an appendix to the second volume of his extremely
valuable biography of Beza. It is superfluous for me to acknowledge
formally my obligations to this rich storehouse of original authorities,
since the frequent references that I have already made, and shall
doubtless have occasion for some time to make, to its separate
documents, will sufficiently attest the high estimate I place upon its
value. The correspondence of the reformers is always an important
commentary upon the contemporaneous history. In the present instance,
much of the most trustworthy information is derived from it. Prof.
Baum's own narrative is admirable (Book iv., c. 5).]

[Footnote 1129: "Car d'y proceder a present par la force," writes
Catharine de' Medici at this very time, "il s'y voit un si eminent
peril, pour estre ce mal penetre si avant comme il est, que je n'en suis
en sorte du monde conseillee par ceux qui aiment le repos de cet Estat."
Letter of Sept. 14th, _apud_ Le Laboureur, i. 734.]

[Footnote 1130: The testimony of Marc' Antonio Barbaro is the more
interesting from the reluctance he manifests to say any good of the
reformer, whom he blames for a great part of the progress of the
Huguenots in France. "E d'assai bello aspetto, _ma d'animo molto
brutto_, perciocche, oltra l'eresie sue, e sedizioso e pieno di vizii e
di scelerita, che non racconto per brevita. Ha vivo spirito, e ingegno
acuto, ma non e prudente, ne ha ponto di giudizio. Mostra d'esser
eloquente, perche parla assai con belle parole e prontamente," etc. Rel.
