ommitted by Louise to the Sorbonne, as early as January, 1525 (Letter
of the Council of the Archbishop of Lyons to Beda, Jan. 23, 1525,
Herminjard, i. 326); and Zwingle knew, in March, of a more or less
successful effort to convince the regent that the evangelical doctrines
were subversive of peace--the proof alleged being drawn from Germany,
where "everything was turned upside down." Dedication to Francis I.,
prefixed to De vera et falsa religione commentarius, Herminjard, i.
351.]

[Footnote 259: The four were Philippe Pot, President in the _chambre des
enquetes_, and Andre Verjus, a counsellor, from parliament, and
Guillaume Du Chesne and Nicholas Le Clerc, doctors of theology. For the
first on the list, Jacques de la Barde was soon after substituted.

[Footnote 268: The author of the anonymous Journal d'un bourgeois de
Paris, 383, 384. His description, written in 1528, is interesting:
"Ledict Barquin avoit environ 50 ans, et portoit ordinairement robbe de
veloux, satin et damas, et choses (chausses) d'or, et _estoit de noble
lignee et moult grand clerc_, expert en science et subtil, mais
neantmoins il faillit en son sens." Erasmus makes him some seven years
younger, Letter to Utenhoven, July 1, 1529, Opera, ii. 1206, _seq._; and
Herminjard, Correspondance des reformateurs, ii. 183, _seq._]

[Footnote 269: His account is important, but too full for insertion
here. See the letter above quoted.]
