[Footnote 576: Letter of Beza to Bullinger, Lausanne, May 10, 1552
(Baum, Thedor Beza, i. 423): "Et tamen vix credas quam multi sese
libenter his periculis objiciant ut aedificent Ecclesiam Dei."]

[Footnote 577: Beza to Bullinger, Oct. 28, 1551, Baum, i. 417: "Tantum
abest ut Evangelii amplificationem ea res (cruentissimum regis edictum)
impediat ut contra nihil aeque prodesse sentiamus ad oves Christi undique
dispersas in unum veluti gregem cogendas. Id testari vel una Geneva
satis potest, in quam hodie certatim ex omnibus et Galliae et Italiae
regionibus tot exules confluunt, ut tantae multitudini vix nunc
sufficiat."]

[Footnote 581: Soldan is scarcely correct (Gesch. des Prot. in Frank.,
i. 235) in representing them to have _completed_ their course of study;
"alii diutius quam alii," are the words of Crespin, Actiones et
Monimenta Martyrum, fol. 185.]

[Footnote 582: In fact, there seem to have been two "_officials_" at
Lyons--the ordinary "_official_" so-called, or "_official buatier_" as
he is styled in the narrative of Ecrivain (Baum, i. 392), and the
"_official de la primace_," _i. e._, of the Archbishop, as Primate of
France (Ibid., i. 388).]

[Footnote 585: It was in view of this response of the king that
Bullinger wrote to Calvin: "He lives that delivered His people from
Egypt; He lives who brought back the captivity from Babylon; He lives
who defended His church against Caesars, kings, and profligate princes.
Verily we must needs pass through many afflictions into the kingdom of
God. But _woe to those who touch the apple of God's eye_!" See Calvin's
Letters (Eng. trans.), ii. 349, note.]

intercession of the Swiss cantons in his Theodor Beza, i. 177-179.]
