Footnote 2: For the German translation of this passage from the Latin
of Zwingli, the author was indebted to the above-mentioned work of
_Usteri V[oe]glin_.

Footnote 3: All activity of the understanding is in its nature
formal. Hence in order to pass over into reality, if it would become
more than an exercise of the mind, which can be endlessly prolonged, it

country in that peaceful condition, which the well-disposed and the
short-sighted had hoped for from the conclusion of the _Landfriede_
(General Peace), and his arrival in no wise tended to lessen the
agitation. The _Landfriede_ granted the choice of their own
ecclesiastical system to the inhabitants of the Common Territories.
Where the mass had been abolished and images burned or carried away,
according to its letter, they who did these things could not be
punished, either in person, standing or property; but just as little,
on the other hand, in places where they still existed, could those who
preached a different doctrine enter, until invited by a majority of the
parishioners. Special conferences between cantons were interdicted, in
so far as they had reference to the affairs of t
