specimens of the bishop's bombast, observing maliciously: "Si Briconnet
argumenta en pareil style aux conciles de Pise et du Latran, il dut
embarrasser beaucoup ses adversaires." Lettres de Marg. d'Angouleme, i.
128.]

Strasbourg for harboring the "Lutherans," contains these doggerel lines:

[Footnote 244: Witness the malignant satisfaction exhibited by the
Nuncio Aleander when noting the reported death of Lambert and his entire
family: "Mi ha detto hoggi, che Francesco Lamberto d'Avignon, qual
fugito dal monasterio, et ito astar un tempo con Luther ha scritto
infiniti libri contra la Chiesa di Dio, quest' anno in terra del
Langravio di Hassia insieme con la moglie et figliuoli tutti
miserabilmente, et come da miracolo, in gran calamita _son crepati_."
