[Footnote 1231: Otherwise, 15,000 or 20,000 Huguenots, of whom 2,000 or
3,000 were armed horsemen, would doubtless have come together, and
possibly seized some church edifices. The prince issued a very severe
order against future assailants. Letter of Languet, Oct. 17, 1561.

porta sa haine jusqu'aux bennets quarres, et les gens de justice furent
obliges de prendre des chapeaux ou bonnets ronds."]

[Footnote 1234: As a single instance out of many, I cite a passage from
a letter of Pierre Viret to Calvin (Nismes, Oct. 31, 1561), illustrative
of the relation of the Huguenot ministers to the acts of mistaken zeal
with which this period abounded: "Hic apud nos omnia sunt pacatissima,
Dei beneficio. Ego, quoad possum, studeo in officio continere non solum
nostros Nemausenses [inhabitants of Nismes], sed etiam vicinos omnes:
sed interea multis in locis et templa occupantur, et idola dejiciuntur
sine nostro consilio. Ego omnia Domino committo, qui pro sua bona
voluntate cuncta moderabitur." Baum, ii., App., 120.]
