has been great confusion respecting this altercation between Lorraine and
L'Hospital. According to Henri Martin (Histoire de France, x. 194), it
took place "a propos d'un nouvel edit qui accordait aux reformes quelques
facilites pour l'enseignement et l'exercise de leur religion en maisons
privees dans les villes ou le culte public leur etait interdit." M. Jules
Bonnet has kindly made search for me in the Zurich and Paris libraries,
and obtained corroborative proof of what I already suspected, that M.
Martin and others had confounded the scene at _Melun_ in February, 1564,
with another quarrel between the same persons in March, 1566, at
_Moulins_. See the documents, including the letter of Beza referred to
above, published together with my inquiries, in the Bulletin de la Soc. du
prot. fr., xxiv. (1875) 409-415.
