is kind, but bridled,
harnessed and taught to obey the rein."

This plan was certainly radical, but not evangelical. It was not
possible that Luzern and Schwyz; not possible that the Catholic cantons
generally, could suffer these violations of Confederate faith, and of
sealed treaties to pass by unheeded. And Glarus, although the majority
of her people sympathized in Zwingli's views of the unscriptural
character of spiritual lordship, and were by no means favorable to the
abbot and his rule, nevertheless felt hurt by the arbitrary action of
Zurich and the air of guardianship which she assumed even toward her.

Bern also was far from sharing in the unbridled zeal of her sister city
on the Limath, whose intervention in the affairs of St. Gall was not
the least among the reasons, that held her sword in the scabbard,
during the first campaign, in the summer of the year 1529. But then
Zurich endeavored to defend the steps she had taken against the abbot
by the articles of the _Landfriede_; this treaty, it was said, would
secure the city of St. Gall from punishment for what she had permitted
in regard to the monastery, for its occupation, the disorders which had
ensued, and the removal of the images from the churches, as well as
confirm and guarantee peace to those parishes in Toggenburg, where the
preaching of the Gospel and a synodical rule had been introduced by the
advice of Zwingli. The political relations, both of the people of the
abbacy and of the Toggenburgers remained in an unsettled state. Had the
Five Cantons known it, they never would have approved of conditions, by
which the abbot could be deprived of his territorial rights.

During the campaign he had fled to Bregenz and Ueberlingen, carrying
along the archives and jewels of the monastery. With his conventuals,
who had found refuge at Einsiedeln in Schwyz, he kept up a constant
correspondence. Through his relatives he secured a devoted party in
Toggenburg, and, by means of the monies at his command, adherents in
various parts of Switzerland to undertake and further his cause. After
the conclusion of the _Landfriede_ (General Peace) he ventured to
return home again, and even rode through a portion of the Zurichan
territory in disguise. Zwingli's stay in Marburg was of great service
to him. He furnished the different parishes in Glarus with his
authentic titles. There was a powerful movement amongst the people, but
the Reformed majority triumphed in the end. Th
